Bought these 2 books recently...

Recently, I read in the newspaper that the course Sijil Tahfiz wa sunnah (Memorization of Al-Quran and Hadith) is open to public. Alhamdulillah. Thinking of trying out. There is a test to go thru. Maybe I will go. I just berserah ..leave it in God's hands. If I succeed, that means its an invitation , if not, that means I must try harder and work harder....


The course days are every wednesday and friday. Hmm, I got my intensive beginner Arabic course which I just started. Luckily, it is an online interactive course. But then again...I might need to forgo my wednesday class, how? I asked them if it is possible to come only on friday for the new Hifz course but they replied that best to attend both classes since this course involved Hadith.


So again I berserah....We'll see how it goes. I just doa that if it is good for me, then let everything flow smoothly and may I excel in both studies. If not, then there must be another way for me or maybe I'm not good enough, then I just concentrate more on my Arabic course and my hifz of the Holy Quran (own time own target). But I wont give up, insya-Allah one day, I will still pursue this course.


I think I need to re-enter this class badly. Because I need some motivation and need to instill some competitiveness within myself...hmm..


Anyway, amidst this great decision making I wander around Joo Chiat Complex level 2 bookshop (the biggest one which sells books, scarves, jamu....) . I browse thru the books and ended in the back of the bookstore. I found these 2 interesting books. The kiddie book cost only $13 and the hifz book is about $5.

The Juz Amma for kids is quite interesting because they are colourful and has 2 languages for its translation. One is Indonesian Malay and the other is English. They also included basic solat, wudhu and some daily doas for the kids.


The best thing is that they have little cartoon images of transports (good for little boys!) as symbols for basic tajwid. Subhanallah. My son was addicted to it. Cannot wait to read it. Often bring it here and there wherever and whenever. Wanting to know in depth about each surah. And this book covers the whole juz 30 only. Just nice for budding hifz kids, dont u think?

As for the other book, its for me...just started reading it...interesting.


p.s: I just started training my little boy (4yrs old) memorizing al-Fateha, An-Nas,Al-Lahab). He has so many questions wanting me to explain what he is reading and so I need to do some research and equip myself with some answers before I can face him.
