Arba and his friend number 4 try to catch 4 butterflies. There are games with different difficulty levels in each section. As the numbers increase from 0 to 9, they become more difficult. So basically their most recent “thamaniya and tissa (8 and 9)” game is what I’ve been playing with my daughter (I mean my daughter watches me as I try to save tissa from the shark and my daughter keeps screaming and I’m like I got this, I got this – and boom – poor tissa) 😅 Masha’Allah, I have a 9 year old who loves learning (but hates writing) and a 5 year old who cannot sit down for more than 3 minutes at a time but would be terribly offended if I didn’t plan something for him to do too…. so I thought: meaningful & simple. An exercise to find the shaahid (proof) of it being a Name of Allah in the relative ayah of the Qur’an (which they will be required to copy out in English translation too). Parents tend to believe that it is too early to read to babies that can’t talk yet. However, that is a myth. You can read to children anytime, irrespective of their age; the key is to select an age-appropriate book for them to comprehend. This will motivate your children to love reading and facilitate their literacy level as they develop their language skills. Ensuring a good night’s rest involves creating a bedtime routine that is composed of healthy and calming activities to perform before sleeping. This routine is like a gradually slowing oscillating swing. While establishing this habit initially may seem challenging, I have discovered that maintaining consistency leads to a smoother bedtime experience.

It’s a goosebump-ish story of the famous Islamic scholar from the past – Abdul Qadir Gilani, who travel to Baghdad for wisdom and knowledge. It’s a story of truth and valour – how a son kept his promise of truth because his mother asked him to never lie. 40 gold coins were sewn into his cloth at the armpit side and when he gets robbed, even though the robbers find nothing with him, he tells them that the coins are in his armpit because they ask him what he had. Although it’s allowed to fight for your property, this was a great lesson because the leader of the robbery gang comes to the straight path as a result of his truth and tawakkal Allah. 7) Salman the PersianA great podcast that takes its listener on a journey through the Noble Qur’an to better understand the Word of God. Listen to it here. When Bilal was about the age of 40, it was the time when Prophet Muhammad started teaching the new religion of Islam, Bilal was attracted by the teaching of Prophet Muhammad. He accepted the religion of Islam and became a Muslim. Story of Sulaiman (السلام‎ عليه) discusses how hoopoe tells him about the nation of Sheba and their queen. He sends the message of Allah to the queen who then visits him and accepts Islam after seeing his genuine da’wah (when he didn’t accept her bundles and bundles of gifts). 15) Maryam and Isa (السلام‎ عليهم)

Bilal the Great African Muslim

One day, before Islam was taught by the prophet Muhammad, a young man named Abu Bakrwalked with his father, Abu Quhaafah, in the desert. They were going to pray in a room filled with idols. Abu Bakr’s father told him to worship the idols, then left Abu Bakr there alone. Get up before your children. Snatch that hour even if you have to study in your pyjamas to save yourself the time it would take to get dressed.

Please note that the links to the old version of this notebook have been taken down. I have re-written it with new material and in a better format. The brief, uncomplicated stories are wonderfully delivered and illustrate essential values of the Quran, such as love, humility, devotion, patience, and trust. No time for inside pictures, sorry, there 5 hours left before Ramadan and I still have tons of prep ahead of me insha’Allah.

The Young and Muslim Podcast, hosted by Jibreel Salaam & Mohamed Hassan will give you the truth on the Young Muslim American experience. These two best friends give their take and personal experiences in a hilarious fashion that is rarely seen on the topic of Islam. All through his life Bilal remained a close companion of Prophet Muhammad and was with him at every occasion. When the Prophet died he was very saddened. Thereafter all his life he looked grieved and very solemn. He had gone to Madina when the Prophet had migrated. After the death of the Prophet he did not feel happy to stay in Madina. He sadly discontinued giving 'adhan' and migrated to Damascus, Syria. He died there after about eight (or ten) years. His grave is still existing in the famous Muslim graveyard in Damascus. People still go to his grave to pay respect and salute him.

Why is it called a “family” journal? because – I don’t know you – but this Ummi is totally taking part in sha’ Allah! The Beautiful Names of Allah (derived from the explanation of al-Qawaid al-Muthla by Shaykh Uthaymeen raheemahullah) – this is a children’s book taken from this one below: When my first child was about 3 and I was just preparing to home educate, I read something that stayed with me. It was a Facebook post by an experienced Muslim homeschooler who was asked “how do you do it?”. Her immediate reply was: “You have to not mind being with your children 24/7.” Freshly Grounded is a weekly podcast founded by 2 British Muslim entrepreneurs, Faisal and Sam.
