🗒️ Two conversation games and two wholesome activities which you can try with a group of three or more family members, friends, acquaintances and colleagues (of the same gender) to become more familiar gradually with each other for Allah's sake:
1✅ "Ask And Answer Questions":
• Form a circle or be seated around a table.
• The person who volunteers to ask the first question asks all the participants any random question which they also get to answer.
📝 Examples of questions one can ask:
1✓ Which of the main four rightly guided caliphs (khulafaa ar-raashideen) RadhiAllahu 'anhum do you find most relatable? Briefly explain your choice.
2✓ If you could delete a whole year from your life story or return to it to fix all the mistakes you may have done during that time period, which year would that be and why?
3✓ Mention two to three Individuals from those whom you care about for Allah's sake whose personality, actions or life decisions inspire you to become a better Muslim. In what ways do you feel inspired by them?
• When all the participants have answered the first question, the person beside the first questioner asks the next question and so on etc.
2☑️ "Ask And Answer Questions Within 15 to 25 Seconds":
• Almost similar to the conversation game above but with limited duration to speak. A mechanical timer or timer application on an android phone can be used when playing this game.
• A participant who fails to answer a question within 15 to 25 seconds doesn't get to ask any question until after a particular round, when all the participants have attempted to ask and answer questions.
• Before the game starts, the participants write their questions on separate sheets of paper, without showing their questions to the other participants, then tear the sheet of questions into separate pieces then fold them so the group can pick one from the shuffled pieces of paper. Three to five questions must be asked by each participant or the one who volunteers to lead the game can decide how many questions every participant is allowed to ask.
📝 Examples of questions that can generate quick responses:
1✓ Was there ever an instance in your life when you shed tears because you sympathized with someone? Who is that person whom you felt sorry for?
2✓ If you could select only three from your loved ones to travel with you abroad, to a country which you haven't visited before, who would those three be?
3✓ What is one thing which you believe you're very good at, and you haven't seen anybody from your relatives who has mastered such skill yet?
3✅ "Encouragement To Read Together From The Mushaf (The Noble Qur'an)":
• Form a circle, be seated on the floor or around a table.
• On separate cards or square sheets of paper, write random numbers of pages from the Noble Qur'an. Shuffle those cards or paper whenever a participant is about to select one.
• When a participant randomly chooses a card or paper, they hold a Mushaf (with wudhu/ablution and as long as the female holding the Mushaf doesn't have her monthly excuse) or they open a Noble Qur'an application on an android phone then go to the page according to the number they've selected. The participant recites the Ayaat/verses on those two pages of the Mushaf / Qur'an application then the participant beside them reads to the group the translation of those verses/Ayaat in the language which is understandable to the majority.
• Once those two have completed reading the Ayaat/verses in Arabic and the second language, another participant chooses a random page then reads the Ayaat/verses which the participant seated beside them later reads next.
4☑️ "Encouragement To Read Some Ahadith / Narrations of the noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam.":
• Almost similar to the previously mentioned activity but this time instead of reading some random Ayaat/verses from the Noble Qur'an, the group can read a random Hadith and share what they've learned by carefully reading the narration, making sure that it is authentic and sound, not fabricated.
