Cultural Day Celebration
All praise be to Allah SWT, I survived this week with the 4th graders even though the homeroom teacher was away for 2 days.
On Monday, she took the day off while I took care of 28 students with a wonderful substitute teacher.
On Tuesday, she took half day off and I was able to take care of the students by myself.
On Wednesday, she attended a workshop and I was supposed to have a substitute teacher with me. Instead the substitute teacher did not turn up! All praise be to Allah SWT I was able to manage four 45-minute periods with 28 students on my own. The one-hour long Cultural Day celebration also proceeded without any problems. 25 students performed a nasheed, "Hasbi Rabbi' by Sami Yusuf, in front of the whole school at the end of the celebration. I really have to thank the homeroom teacher for training the students so well. They were on task and gave me their 100% effort to follow directions and cooperate with me. So yesterday in recognition of their good behavior, the homeroom teacher let them go to the playground during math period.
Although it has been a great experience to know that I was able to manage these students, I sure was jumping with joy to see the homeroom teacher back in school!
Sami Yusuf - Hasbi Rabbi
O Allah the Almighty
Protect me and guide me
To your love and mercy
Ya Allah don't deprive me
From beholding your beauty
O my Lord accept this plea
CHORUS:
Hasbi rabbi jallallah (My Lord is enough for me, glory be to Allah.)
Ma fi qalbi ghayrullah (There is nothing in my heart except Allah.)
CHORUS
Urdu:
Wo tanha kaun hai (Who is The Only One?)
Badshah wo kaun hai (Who if The King?)
Meherba wo kaun hai (Who if The Merciful?)
Kya unchi shan hai (Who is The Most Praised and Benevolent?)
Uskey sab nishan hai (Whatever you see in this world is His sign.)
Sab dilon ki jan hai (He's the love of every soul.)
CHORUS
Turkish:
Affeda gunaha (He is The Forgiver of all sins.)
Alemin padishaha (He is The King of the universe.)
Yureklerin penaha (He is The Refuge of all hearts.)
Isit Allah derdimi, bu akhlarama (O Allah hear my sorrows and my sighs.)
Rehmeyle, baaghsha (Have mercy and pardon my sins.)
Hayreyle hem aksam hem sabahlarama (Bless my nights and days.)
CHORUS
Arabic:
Ya rabbal 'alamin (Oh Lord of the Worlds.)
Salli 'ala Tahal amin (Send peace and blessings.)
Fi kulli waqtin wa hin (On Ta-Ha The Trustworthy in every time and at every instant.)
Imla' qalbi bil yaqin (Fill my heart with conviction.)
Thabbitni 'ala hadhad din (Make me steadfast on this religion.)
Waghfir li wal muslimin (And forgive me and all the believers.)
