Class notes for 11\/17\/19 by DJ Age 18 Male <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I entered into class today, we first had our mediation\nand prayer session. I prayed my Fajir prayer and I also worked on my sitting\nposition because I struggle trying to sit on my legs. My teacher recommended\nworking on a couple of exercises in order to make my legs and knees more\nflexible. One of them was using stairs and stretching my leg on them, so they\ncould open up and become more flexible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the prayer, I meditated for around 5 minutes and that\ndid help me because I was able to clear my mind and to focus on class. After\nthat, we had three new students who came in. Two of them were in 7th<\/sup>\ngrade and one of them was in 8th<\/sup> grade. They were pretty young but\nthey were fast learners and they were able to memorize Al- Fatihah in both\nArabic and English. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We all did some crossword puzzles in newspapers that our\nteacher gave us and we spend around 15 minutes doing that. I learned that doing\ncrossword puzzles, chess, or any type of activity that stimulates and\nchallenges the mind is great for your brain and you should always try to do\none. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I also learned that Albert Einstein only used 6% of his brain\nduring his lifetime. I was pretty surprised by that because he was one of the\nsmartest people to have ever lived, yet he only used 6% of his brain. I\nwondered what would it been like if we were able to use 20 or 50% of our brain.\nThe way to reach 6% of our brain capacity, is to be a master in a subject that\nsociety gives you like a career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After the cross word puzzles activity, we played some\nhangman between the new students and the old students. It was about who knew Surah\nFatihah the best by memorization and we the old students won of course. After\nthat, we had our testing session and I worked on memorizing Al-Maaooon in both\nArabic and English. I was able to memorize it in Arabic fully finally and now I\njust need to get the English, which I know kind of but I am still shaky on it.\nI also practice tested out the whole prayer and I did pretty well. I just need\npractice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After the testing session, we had our lecture that was given\nto us by our teacher. Some things that I learned were life is full of challenges\nand you must overcome them in order to succeed. I also learned that when you\nare in a position of power, your actions will effect lots of people whether you\nintended on helping or harming. They are countless examples of real life\nleaders who either mess this up or succeed in this concept. I also learned that\nif you want to be a leader, you must be the goat which is the top position of\nany career that you are in and you must also strive to make the world a better\nplace, including taking care of the environment and animals because they are\noften neglected in this situation. They are also very vital to the Earth and\nmust be protected in order to guarantee that the world is truly a good place. I\nalso learned that the Quran states that if you walk on a step towards bad, four\nmore steps of bad will open and if you walk on steps towards good, the same\nthing will happen to. This shows that one consequence can have drastic effects\nand it can open it up to more consequences. A person can easily become very\ntrapped if doing this in a bad way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I also learned that whatever you ask from Allah, use surah\nFatihah, specifically the verse \u201cThe path of those whom you\u2019ve favored\u201d. Also\nwhile making dua, you must define what you are asking for and it must be\nsomething that will bring value to your life and not just a worldly desire that\nyou want. We also talked about how everything was against the Prophet such as\nbecoming an orphan and being chased out and having rocks thrown at him by the\npagans while he was in Mecca, but he still managed to overcome it and this\nshows the resilience and grit of the prophet and everyone should strive to\novercome difficulties when they are at their lowest or when the odds are\nagainst them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I also learned that the Quran is full of innovations and it\nmust be studied carefully and with great detail, so we could utilize it into\nour lives in the right way. I also learned that being a Muslim requires you to\nsubmit, which means obedience to find inner peace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly, the biggest thing missing these days in society is\nbelief or a lack of it. It is important to have belief. My homework for next\nweek is to fully memorize the prayer in both Arabic and English.
