Talimul Aqaaid Grade 2

Aqaaid - Grade 2 is an intermediate Islamic beliefs textbook by the Jamiatul Ulama (KZN) Ta’limi Board. It expands on core theology for young children across five themes:

• Allah’s Attributes & Zikr: Teaches that Allah is All-Seeing (Al-Baseer) and All-Hearing (As-Samee’). It introduces Kalimah Tauheed (Oneness) and the Tasbeeh of Faatimah (Subhanallah 33x, Alhamdulillah 33x, Allahu Akbar 34x) to build gardens in Jannah.
• Angels (Malaa’ikah): Explains that angels are made of light (Noor) and never sin. It profiles the four main archangels (Jibreel, Mikaa’eel, Israafeel, Izraa’eel) and warns that angels of mercy avoid homes with dogs, pictures of living things, or bad odors.
• Holy Books & Qur-aan: Identifies the four main scriptures (Taurah, Zaboor, Injeel, Qur-aan). It covers the first revelation in Cave Hira and teaches rules for respecting the Qur-aan (handling with wudhu, storing on high shelves).
• Prophets & Miracles: Reaffirms humanity’s descent from Aadam (ע) rather than monkeys. It shares the story of Prophet Uzayr (ע), whom Allah put to sleep for 100 years and resurrected alongside his donkey to demonstrate His power over death.
• Daily Blessings: Frames rain as a direct mercy from Allah for human survival and teaches the prophetic prayer for beneficial rain (“Allahumma sayyiban naafi’aa”).
