Surat Al-Kawthar Lapbook

I have another fun lapbook to showe with you today.  Surat Al-Kawthar Lapbook!.  InshaAllah you and your children find it of benefit.

Surah Summary:

The story behind this surah is when ‘As-ibn-wa’il,  a chief pagan at the time, stopped to talk to Prophet Muhammad(SAAS) as he was leaving the mosque.  When ‘As-ibn-wa’il returned to the mosque.  Men from the Quraysh were sitting and waiting for him to return.   They asked him to whom he was speaking.  ‘As-ibn-wa’il answered  “abtar,” which literally means “cut-off.”    It was used by the Arabs when their was no son to carry on the family lineage.  He used this word to refer to the Prophet because he had no male hiers after the death of his sons, Qassim and Abdullah.    His enemies were hoping with the death of  his son it would be an end to Islam.

Allah revealed this surah after Abdullah’s death.  The Prophet(SAAS) woke up one morning smiling and the Sahaba asked him why.  He told them a new surah had been sent to him and it talked about a beautiful river that was just for him.  Kawthar is the name of the river.  This let him know that Allah loved him.   This revelation was also an answer to the men who taunted the Prophet(SAAS).  This surah told these men that Islam and the Quran would remain and continue to be the religion for Muslims through generations.

So in the end, it was they who were “abtar-cut off” and not the Prophet(SAAS).  People know and follow the sunnah of the Prophet(SAAS).  He is remembered all over the world by many Muslims who look up to him as an example of how to .  No one remembers the Quraysh or their progeny.

The ages for these lapbooks

This lapbook is meant to be used with the Ad-Duha Institute Mini Tafseer Books.  You can purchase the Surat Al-Kawthar mini book or you can purchase the Surat Al-Kawthar e-book and print it out yourself.  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 at the elementary level grades 1-6.  If you have older students you can have them read and do the minbook 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 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 Al-Kawthar Notebooking Pages where they can write out what they know and learned from the surah.  Keep a look out.

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.
