Surah At-Takweer Lapbook

I have another fun surah lapbook to show you today. Surat At-Takweer! InshaAllah you and your children find it of benefit.

Basic Facts about Surat At-Takweer:

• This surah is number 81 in the Quran.
• It was revealed in Mecca.
• It gets its name from the word “koo-wee-rut” which means folded or rolled up and it is used in the first ayah.
• This first ayah talks about what will happen on Yawm Al-Qiyamah.
• This surah tells us more about Yawm Al-Qiyamah than almost any surah.
• Prophet Muhammad(SAAS) said, “Whoever wishes to look at the Day of Judgement as if he is seeing it with his own eyes, then let him read, ‘When the sun is wound round(Surat At-Takweer) and ‘when the heaven is cleft asunder'(Surat Al-Infitaar) and ‘when the heaven is split asunder'(Surat Al-Inshiqaaq)(Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

When Yawm Al-Qiyamah is upon us the world will change. The universe will not be like anything we know of it.

Things that will happen on the Day of Judgement(Yawm Al-Qiyamah):

• The sun will be wrapped up or folded up and it will be dark
• The stars will fall and lose their luster
• The mountains will be moved or vanish
• The pregnant camels will be left unattended- meaning things that need to be taken care of-no one will even worry about them
• The animals will begin to gather
• The seas will overflow and become blazing fire
• The baby girls will get justice
• The book of deeds will be opened
• The sky will be stripped away
• Hellfire will be set ablaze
• Heaven will be brought near
• Every soul will know its destination

Basic Surah Summary:

This surah is about all the things that will happen on Yawm Al-Qiyamah. After all the above happens then we will all go to where we have earned to go according to our book of deeds. Those who will go to Jannah will be overjoyed and will be eager to enter Jannah. Those who will go to Jahannam will want to hide their books and wish they were dust so they could escape their punishment.

Allah(SWT) addresses peoples doubts in the last few ayahs of the surah. Allah(SWT) swears by the stars moving through the sky and the day and the night. Allah(SWT) tells us four things about Angel Jibrael:

• He is noble
• He is powerful
• He has authority
• He is trustworthy

Allah(SWT) then tells us four things about Prophet Muhammad(SAAS):

• He is not crazy(people used to say he was)
• He does not lie about seeing Angel Jibrael(again some people were saying this about him)
• He does not withhold what has been revealed to him
• He does not talk to shaytan(people would say to him that the Quran were words from the shaytan)

Towards the end of the surah, Allah(SWT) asks the disbelievers where they are going, why they are running away from the message of Allah(SWT). Telling them that this(Quran) is a guidance to the worlds so they can take the right course and be successful.

Abu Jahl who was one of the leaders of Mecca, and he hated the Prophet(SAAS) and Islam. When he heard ayah 28 he said, “The matter is up to us. If we wish we will walk straight and if we do not wish we will not walk straight.” Instead of learning from the descriptions of Yawm Al-Qiyamah from this surah, he chose to make fun of it and be arrogant.

The ages for these lapbooks:

This lapbook can be used alongside the Ad-Duha Institute Mini Tafseer Books.  They are a wondeful series of books for young children. I recommend you check out their website. You can purchase the Surat At-Takweer mini-book or the Surat At-Takweer e-book.   Be sure to click the correct book format when purchasing.  You can buy each book separately or as a set.  Check out the pages of the books here.  I gave a book to each child so that they can color and participate by reading along with me.

These lapbooks can be used for level grades, I would say from maybe 3rd-6/7 depending on the age of your child/student and what they are able to do.  If your child/students are on the younger side you can just choose the basic minibooks about the surah and make a smaller lapbook. And then as they get older you can incorporate more minibooks about the surah that can then be added to their lapbook.

If you have older students you can have them read and do the minibook themselves.  They can either cut and paste the answers into the mini books or they can write it in themselves.  You can give them a quiz after a review to see if they have fully understood and retained the information.  I will be sharing a study guide and quiz later so be sure to keep a look out.

If you have younger readers you can read it together as a group and then you can help them cut and paste the answers inside the mini books.  The very young may not be able to do all the mini books.  You can pick and choose which ones you would like your students to do.  Another option is for the parent/teacher to cut out all mini books and paste them into the lapbook so it is ready for the younger student to use.  Then the student can paste the answer inside the minibook. This way the parent or teacher can focus on spending time going over and explaining the surah.

If this is too easy for your older students then you can soon check out my Surat At-Takweer Notebooking Pages where students/adults can write out what they know and learned from the surah.

New Series Coming Soon!

I will be coming out with a new series of surah lapbooks for Pre-k through maybe 2nd to 3rd grade. It will be a simplified version of my lapbooks, but it will give them exposure to the basic facts about the surah so they can learn along with their siblings or students. So be sure to keep a look out. I will post it on Instagram when they are ready to be released, so be sure to follow me so you do not miss out on any new content!

How long will it take to complete this lapbook?

It all depends on you and your family.  Older students might finish in a few days to a week and younger students may take a couple of weeks or more.  Do not feel pressured to finish in a certain time.  Pace yourself and your kids to what best suits your family.

What is included in this lapbook?

• Facts about the surah mini books
• Vocabulary mini book
• Trace the arabic letters of the surah
• Tafseer mini book
• Translation mini book
• What you should say before reciting Quran mini book
• 26 other mini books

In the above photo, because the surahs are starting to get a bit longer, I have made this option for you if you decide not to use the minibooks inside the lapbook. These pages can replace the Quran minibook, translation minibbok, and the mini Tafsir minibook(if yo chose to use it). You can use this option and just staple each packet together and place in the back pocket of the lapbook. Check out my Surat At-Takweer lapbook to see how this is shown.
