10^th, 11^th, and 12^th gatherings were identical to each other since they were for the adult members (aged 16 and above). These members are teenagers, students and some other. There were approximately 15 members. We talked about the universal values, about the rebirth of the society, how to make life better for living. Earlier before this group had some meetings with the oldest members from the young group (9^thgraders) and with the coordinator of the course, Ilijaz Miralemovic. The idea of the reconstruction of the existing playground and making lights for it was born on these meetings. We made a project and sent it to the youth bank in Zvornik in order to get money from them. The youth is waiting for the answer with the hope to build the lights on the playground in their village Krizevici.

Besides the regular activities on the reciting the Qur’an and learning Arabic letter, we had next themes being dealt with:

The adults gathered 8 times, after the sallatul- magrib, on Fridays and Sundays. We noticed that they do not come in the same number as they used to come during winter. Maybe that is due to the works on fields and their being tired. Still, there are 14 members who come on the regular basis, they recite the Qur’an and learn the letter. On Friday nights, there are approximately 25 members listening to the lectures on the Prophet’s life (sira’). We had 4 lectures on the Prophet’s life, those are the following ones:

–          The beginning of the public call to Islam

–          The action of the Musriks’ leaders against Muhammed, sallallahu alejhi we selem, their meeting in the wellid ibn Mugadira’s house

–          Musriks’ trials to offend an belittle Muhammed saws, comparison to the nowadays events

–           Maltreating of the weak and unprotected Muslims, the case of Bilal el Habesi and Jasir’s family

 

Also, on the recommendation of the members, we started, besides sira, to teach on the Taharet and Sallah.
