Not Afraid To Stand Alone - Native Deen

I am not afraid to stand alone
I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
I am not afraid to stand alone
Everything is gonna be alright
I am not afraid to stand alone
Going keep my head up high

I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
Everything is going be alright
Going to keep my head up high

Single mother raising her children
And Now she’s a Muslim
Started praying and wearing a headscarf
It Was a healing for her heart

Struggling with no one to lean on
But with prayer she would be strong
Had a job but then she was laid off
Got a better education and it paid off

She was called for a job that she dreamed of
Close by, great pay -she was in love –
They brought her in — told her shes the 1 pick
You got the job, but you gotta lose the outfit”

It’s a tough position that you put me in
Cause look at my condition, and my two children
But I’ll continue looking for a job again
Cause my faith and my religion I will never bend

I am not afraid to stand alone
I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
I am not afraid to stand alone
Everything is gonna be alright
I am not afraid to stand alone
Going keep my head up high

I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
Everything is going be alright
Going to keep my head up high

Peer pressure, they were insisting
And I was resisting
Some days…. I felt I would give in
Just wanted to fit in

I know…..when I’m praying and fasting’
They be teasing and laughing
So I called to my Lord for the power
For the strength every day, every hour…

one day there’s a new Muslim teacher
Single mom and the people respect her
Just seeing…. her strength I get stronger
They can break my will no longer

You don’t see me sweatin’ when they’re jokes cracking
Never see me cussing’ with my pants saggin’
I aint never running Yo Im still standing,
sorry I aint jumping on your band wagon, cause…

I am not afraid to stand alone
I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
I am not afraid to stand alone
Everything is gonna be alright
I am not afraid to stand alone
Going keep my head up high

I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
Everything is going be alright
Going to keep my head up high

Now, I’m a tough one, who can bear their blows
The rest play dumb, they don’t dare say no
Scared of being shunned, but its clear they know
I aint never gonna run, I aint scared no more….

Man, these sisters be resolute
Never stressed when the rest say they wasn’t cute
And the get the respect of the other youth
Come best with the dress yo and thats the truth

These sisters are strong gonna hand it down
So me Im a brotha gotta stand my ground
No fear, Im tough Im the man in town
Peer pressure no more, its my planet now

Others may fall, but Im hold my own
With Allahs help I’ll be strong as stone
And I’ll be the one to let Al Islam be shown
Cause I am not afraid yo to stand alone

I am not afraid to stand alone
I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
I am not afraid to stand alone
Everything is gonna be alright
I am not afraid to stand alone
Going keep my head up high

I am not afraid to stand alone
If Allah is by my side
Everything is going be alright
Going to keep my head up high

Matematik Dan Muzik

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera…

Apa khabar anda hari ini? Moga sihat hendak-Nya.

Hari cuti sebegini biasanya saya menjauhkan diri dari membuat kerja sekolah. Hari Sabtu ini saya akan ke sekolah lagi untuk menyiapkan misi penting. Apa misi penting itu? Nanti apabila ia sudah berjaya saya akan beritahu kepada anda semua. Insyaallah.

Di kesempatan hari cuti ini saya cuba memenuhi permintaan pembacaan setia Blog Cikgu Farizal Dot Com, Aunty. Di ruangan pesanan ringkas Aunty meminta saya membantunya mencari idea untuk mengajar matematik dalam waktu muzik. Begitulah mengikut pemahaman saya.

Dalam pencarian saya melalui engin carian google saya mememui banyak laman web atau blog yang menunjuk cara penggunaan muzik dalam pelajaran matematik terutamanya dalam mengingat formula. Sebab itu saya menyokong pengajaran matematik dan sains dalam bahasa inggeris sebab senang nak cari bahan dalam internet dan tak payah nak terjemahkan. Edit sikit-sikit dah ok

Salah satu laman web yang saya temui ialah songsforteaching.com. Laman web ini menjual pelbagai lagu yang boleh digunakan untuk mengajar. Salah satu lagu yang saya suka ialah Alligator 10 More. Lagu ini digunakan untuk pengajaran matematik. Berikut adalah lirik lagu tersebut;

Alligator 10 More

Jennifer Fixman

Alligator, alligator, sitting in the zoo,
Don’t you think feeding time is through?

You’ve eaten 9 whole pizzas!

“You gave me 9 pizzas that I’m thankful for,
But please, please please, could I have 10 more?”

10 more than 9…10 + 9 = 19.

Alligator, alligator, sitting in the zoo,
Don’t you think feeding time is through?

You’ve eaten 19 whole pizzas!

“You gave me 19 pizzas that I’m thankful for,
But please, please please, could I have 10 more?”

10 more than 19…10 + 19 = 29.

Oh, yeah!

Teaching Tips:
The Pizza-Eating Alligator is a fun character who teaches children concepts of addition, subtraction, greater than, and less than.

Sebahagian lagu tersebut boleh didengar melalui pemainan audio dibawa.

Untuk mendengar lagu penuh bolehlah anda mendapatkanya di http://www.songsforteaching.com/store/product.php?productid=1027

Saya cuba membelinya tetapi memandangkan kos pengeposan lebih mahal dari harga barang saya abaikan dululah.

Pengajaran matematik memang menyeronokan jika kita tahu dan mampu untuk menginovasikannya. Dan Ingat, matematik itu mudah tapi…

Dengan menggunakan muzik, murid-murid bukan sahaja lebih berminat terhadap perlajaran matematik malah murid akan lebih mengingat formula matematik.

Sewaktu ditingkatan lima dahulu saya suka menyanyi sewaktu menjawab soalan matematik tambahan sehingga ditegur oleh pengawas peperiksaan SPM

Sekian sahaja buat kali ini…

Wassalam
