Surat Al-Mutaffifin Lapbook

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

Basic Facts about Surat Al-Mutaffifin:

• This surah is number 83 in the Quran.
• Some scholars say it was revealed in Madinah, others say Mecca, Allah(SWT) knows best.
• It gets its name from the word “moo-taf-fi-feen” which means cheaters and it is used in the first ayah.
• This surah tells us about how people cheat others out of their wealth and how they deny Yawm Al-Qiyamah.
• This surah is a warning and a promise.
• Allah promises those who harm the Muslims that they will be punished in this life and the hereafter.
• Allah promises those who have been harmed, they will rewarded generously

Sijjeen & Illeeyeen:

• Allah(SWT) tells us about 2 books, Sijjeen & Illeeyeen
• Sijjeen is the record of the sinful people who will be punished in Jahannam
• Illeeyeen is a record of the righteous people who will be rewarded in Jannah

Asbaab An-Nazool:

• Asbaab An-Nazool is the story behind the surah.
• Some scholars say when Prophet Muhammad(SAAS) moved to Madinah he learned that a lot of the merchants were cheating their customers.
• They had all kinds of ways and tricks they used to cheat them.
• There was a man named Abu Juhaynah who used 2 scales. One for those he sold to, it measured less than what was purchased and the other scales he used when he purchased items, which would measure more than what he actually purchased.
• So Allah(SWT) revealed Surat Al-Mutaffifin and Prophet Muhammad(SAAS) recited it in the marketplace. And once the merchants heard this, they stopped what they were doing.

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 Al-Mutaffifin mini-book or the Surat Al-Mutaffifin 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 4th-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 Al-Mutaffifin 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.
