Reminders: Homeschooling, a Favor from Allah

Today I learned that I must be thankful for even the option to embark on the Homeschooling journey. MashaAllah, it is true as a sister from RaisingMuslims said in her blog "Being Able to Homeschool is a Favor from Allah" however another more important reminder is that our family is a favor from Allah, our husband and our children. al-Hamd'lillah for all of Allah's blessings!

Nasheed: Ramadan with Zaky

After watching this video, I pray for the day my toddler and preschooler would know what Ramadan is about and be excited when it comes.

Nasheed: Ramadan Moon

Even though Ramadan is 3 months away, after starting to post in this blog I feel like I miss Ramadan and can't wait for it to come. Oh Ramadan please do come soon!

Hadith: Knowledge as Expression of Piety

Quote: Literacy

"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn." ~ Alvin Toffler in “Rethinking the Future”
