QUR’ANIC CHAPTER „AN-NASR“ (DIVINE SUPPORT)

A WRITTEN LESSON PREPARATION FOR A CLASS OF ISLAMIC INSTRUCTION

Abstract

A written lesson preparation „Qur'anic chapter An-Nasr“ is an integral part of a multimedia preparation under the same name. As such it can be applied in two ways: a) it can be used most effectively as an integral part of a multimedia preparation, along with all the necessary multimedia aids – laptop and a video projector, or b) to fully adapt to the traditional presentation of the curriculum content with the use of a textbook and (at least) a CD Player! The preparation came about as an entry for a competition for the best lesson preparation for Islamic instruction organized by the Association of Religious Instructors of the Sarajevo Canton. In its integral form (as a complete installation program – exe application) this lesson preparation can be taken from a website www.vjeroucitelji.ba, under Pripreme (for grade 4) under the name Multimedia Preparation – Surah An-Nasr. According to the author, the teaching of Qur'anic chapters is most suitable for a multimedia presentation since it requires a graphic presentation where different colours are used to represent double letters (teshdids) to which special attention must be given even in basic tajjweed which is offered to the primary school students. Furthermore, audio material is an unavoidable tool when teaching the message of Qur'an. In addition, video or some kind of flash format is also useful so that, at least in part, some Qur'anic messages could be taught or some kind of a quiz-game could be offered to the students so that they would more willingly and enthusiastically accept new information. Consequently, the author is of the opinion that the mentioned multimedia lesson preparation should be examined as a sample or one of the ways everything mentioned above can be offered to the youngest ones.
