5 8. Teachers Section: Teaching Tips & Tricks Classroom Rules One of the most challenging tasks of a teacher is Classroom Control. UQA uses the following classroom rules for the students (as adopted from Whole-Brain Teaching System): 1. Follow the directions quickly 2. Raise your hand for the permission to speak 3. Raise your hand for the permission to leave your seat 4. Always make smart choices in life 5. Make your dear teacher happy. These five classroom rules should be posted in classroom. It will take about 3 months to get trained on these rules. The benefit will be more discipline in classroom, thereby giving more time and peace to teachers, to focus on teaching topics. This is a successfully implemented technique by many teachers within India and abroad. Sharing student s Questions and Comments A 7 year old boy asked me a question When did Arabic started as a language? This was a question which intrigued lot of people. Googling also didn t help, so I asked Dr Abdulazeez, Director UQA. He quoted Dr Sameer, the head of Arabic in KAAU, Arabic is the only language in the world, that began as a complete language, i.e., with complete grammar, vocabulary, & all other rules. All other languages developed over a period of time. This statement is from the Western researchers and not a self-proclamation by Arabs. Another 8 year old girl of grade 4 was taught the meanings of Surah Ikhlas. After the class, she asked, If Allah (SWT) doesn t have any relative, He must be feeling very lonely and boring up there! It is so amazing how children think and get to the conclusion. A response to this question can be: Allah is Samad; Every creature in the universe is seeking His help. He created everything, and everything is dependent on Him for survival. He does not need anyone s help. Allah (SWT) doesn t feel bored at all. He is not weak. He doesn t feel sleepy or tired. Principals feedback about UQA Courses Course is very good. 50% students improved a lot in their behaviour. They respect parents, teachers and elders. They offer Namaz properly on-time. Parents are satisfied with the course. S.K MujtabaHussain, Genius Grammar High School, Muhammadi Lane Hyderabad This is an excellent course. Students behaviour has changed a lot after the course was introduced. They have started respecting teachers and parents more. Parents are satisfied with the course. Raza Ahmed Khan, New Era Mission High School, Saidabad, Hyderabad Job Opportunities Understand Al Quran Academy is looking for teachers with B.Ed Qualifications.

12 Our Vision: To remove the illiteracy of the Qur an from the current generation and to bring up a Qur anic generation for future so that they can practice as well as be able to convey the message of Qur an to the whole humanity. To present the Qur an in its reality, i.e., the most interesting, the most relevant book for day-to-day activities as well as the most important book for success in this life as well as in the hereafter. Please note that: The objective is not to produce scholars of the Qur an. There are many institutions, which are doing this. It is for a common non-arab Muslim so that he is aware of Allah s guidance. Our mission: Teach the Qur an in the easiest possible way for adults, teens, and children from schools and colleges, and madrassahs. Prepare Qur an Centric Islamic studies. Sponsorship & Donations: Sponsoring a Quran Teacher is Sadaqa-e-Jariya that brings an unlimited rewards and multiple credits to your account. The No. of students benefitted from a Quran Teacher and their future on-going students & beneficiaries rewards will equally go on crediting your account as well. May Allah give us Tawfeeq for spreading Quranic Message to all. Your support will make a great impact for our community.
