Before you dive into the actual activities for each surah, spend some time reciting the surah together. In this case, recite Surah Mumenoon, Surah Noor and the first 18 Ayahs of Surah Furqan. If this is not possible, listen to the surah on a digital device. Since we will be recreating our masjid experience, we be listening to Mishari Rashid on our Quran explorer App.
For the full guide to how best use these Juz specific activities, please check out the main page of the Quran Activities for kids.
Surah Mumenoon
Surah Mumenoon’s first few ayahs discuss some of the characteristics of the believers. We’ve already talked about some of these characteristics, so there is is no activity related to these ayahs. However, if you would like to do an activity on this, please check out Juz 1 Activities.
Hidden Pictures
For this Juz, we will be focusing on Ayah 18-21 of Surah Mumenoon. In these ayahs, Allah (SWT) mentions 5 of the countless blessings we have been given. These 5 blessings are mentioned by name and it’s illustration is hidden in a coloring activity. Download the worksheet HERE.
Modification for younger kids
Younger kids can simply use this worksheet as a coloring activity. For children that can understand it, you can speak to them about some of the foods mentioned in the Quran such as milk, grapes and olives.
Surah Noor
In Ayah 27-29 of surah Noor as well as Ayah 58, we learn about the importance of privacy and etiquette for entering a home and private spaces of those within the home. As parents, there is often very little privacy (if any) that we get from our children. Ayah 58 is a great conversation starter to talk about the etiquette for entering the bedrooms. We had this conversation with our children a few years ago. We explained to them that they must knock and seek permission before entering our bedroom and each other’s. The kids were afraid they would forget so they made a little sign, “knock before entering”, that is still stuck to our bedroom door years later. Unfortunately though, not much has changed and they continue to barge in whenever they need something. So, inshallah we will be revisiting this topic. If you have yet to have this conversation, use this as an opportunity to do so. If you have, like us, i would still advise you to remind the kids and discuss again, especially if you have preteen children.
Find My House
This activity, which you can download HERE, should be used as a conversation starter for ayah 27-29. In this activity, which is a spin off of the classic game “Guess Who”, is an activity in which the children are asked to follow a set of guidelines to help them figure out which house is theirs.
After completing the activity, discuss with kids what they should say to those in the home when they enter? As well the etiquette of visiting people and their homes (ayahs 28 and 29).
