RabaTEENS is a nurturing space for deep and meaningful Islamic spiritual mentorship with compassionate and caring mentors. We design fun, creative, and positive educational experiences to help teens grow confidently and comfortably into their faith.


Class Description


This Ramadan, let’s light up our homes and hearts not just through recitation, but by really connecting with the Words of Allah ﷻ. Join us as we explore Surah Luqman, full of life lessons and wisdom we can apply every day.

Come ready to share your thoughts and reflect on how the verses speak to you. Together, we will create simple action steps and a worship plan to grow spiritually, making this Ramadan meaningful and truly transformative. 



Class Outline


Week 1:  Ihsan (Verses 1-11)

What is ihsan? Let’s explore all the meanings this word carries. Who are the muhsineen? Who are the successful people? What are their traits, and are we among them? 


Week 2:  Wise Advice (Verses 12-19)

Words of wisdom from a loving father to his son. Let’s learn some golden rules to live by. Let’s practice acts of worship that require physical acts and involve the limbs. Let’s also practice worship in the heart. 


Week 3:  Holding on to the Rope of Allah ﷻ (Verses 20-28)

Let’s contemplate the blessings and favors Allah ﷻ has lavished upon us, and commit to holding firmly to the rope of Allah. What is the rope of Allah, and how can we hold on to it and never let go? This week, we will also study a verse rich in beautiful imagery. 


Week 4:  Signs in the Universe (Verses 29-32)  
 
There are signs all around us in the universe, and we need to pause and read these signs. Did you ever think about the night merging into the day? Did you ever see waves in the sea that look like mountains? 


Week 5:  Allah’s ﷻ Limitless Knowledge (Verses 33-34)  

We will gain a deeper, broader understanding of piety, based on different definitions as explained by the Companions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. We will reflect on the five keys to the unseen, which are known only to Allah ﷻ.
