Umm Abdullah

Umm Safa

" 'I love Allah' webinar is a beautiful reminder to increase our love of Allah by engaging in an invigorating way with our kids. Umm Umamah have adorned this creative package with dua, zikr and craft suggestions, bi'ithnillah. I cant get enough of the awe-inspiring poetry in it!!"

This is going to REVOLUTIONIZE your Homeschooling experience Inshallah!

Testimonial

Umm Abdullah

"I had already attended your lapbooking workshop ( which was totally awesome), so I wasn't expecting any game changer from this course but I was totally wrong! It was just another level Alhamdhulillah. I got such fresh ideas and suggestions and motivation that I actually did use some of those in my homeschool. Couldn't have been happier! Jazaaki Allahu khair"

REGISTER NOW

As a veteran homeschooler, I have learnt many things that work and faced lots of road blocks & show stoppers....

How many of you can relate to wanting to go ahead with a new lesson only to find that our lil ones don't remember the earlier lessons taught... But we need them to remember that for this to make sense... What do I do now?..Drown in Frustration?..Be Overwhelmed?.... Loose my Temper??? Nooo Ofcourse not.. we're too good a homeschool moms to do that J

If you can relate to that you need to join me and experience the same exhilaration I felt and conitnue to feel when I can smoothly go through those moments without taking away too much for the new lesson time?

This webinar is all about using some class room tools in a Homeschool Friendly environment. Anchor Charts & notebooking are THE TOOLS that I now heavily use for almost ALL Subjects...

So please Register for this class ASAP.

A JOURNEY THROUGH RAMADAN

By Bint Muhammad 9

Ramadan is coming soon,

Once we sight the new moon.

Oh Allah, to you belongs all praise,

For Ramadan there is just a few more days.

Going for taraweeh with my family,

Filled with happiness, joy and glee.

Waking up for suhoor,

Smelling the fragrance of bukhoor.

We begin this month with the

Recitation of Quran,

As the Quran was revealed to our

Prophet in Ramadan.

Fasting long hours to seek your

Pleasure oh Allah,

Pondering and contemplating

upon your great signs.

Having iftar -milk and date,

Just like the Prophet ate.

Going for the prayer that is late.

Laylatul Qadr is yet to come,

It is worth more than thousand months.

The end of Ramadan has come,

How soon have you come and gone!

EID Has risen upon us,

It is time to celebrate.

Hurry up and do not be late

Ramadan it’s a one year chance

so let’s do Ibadah to Allah

AND MAKE DUA TO HIM

TAQABBALA ALLAH!

Welcome Ramadan!

By: Hafsa Mohamed, 8

Marhab Marhab Oh Ramadan;

We were waiting for you Oh Ramadan.

We need to become fit and healthy;

And feel like people which aren’t wealthy.

Do not say bad words and don’t do bad deeds;

But feed the poor and satisfy their needs.

Read Quran and pray Salah;

And don’t forget to praise Allah.

Remember Allah and make dua a lot;

Because the angels are there and shaytan is not.

Ramadan,The Good Deeds Hunt

by: Maryam Khan 9

Knock Knock! It's Ramadan, I am looking for the moon.

aren't you doing too? I hope we all see it soon.

It is time to test our patience, and face the challenge, remember when you are eating Suhoor or Iftaar to just keep your balance.

Isn't Ramadan for earning good deeds? the prophet (saws) help others all the time, so loving, so caring he was the most generous of all mankind.

Help others in Ramadan, help in one or the other way. Don't just wait for big opportunities , help can be in the form of words that you say.

let's race for more good deeds, as the reward will be more than double. Specially, keep in mind the last 10 odd nights, they are called Laylatul Qadar.

Finally the day!, the day of Eid will arrive, no inappropriate stuff after the good deeds hunt.

the whole purpose of Ramadan, was to prepare you for rest 11 months.

Well, after this blessed month, don't let the Masajid cry. go to the Masjid regularly, do not just pass by.

Such beautiful thoughts and such wonderful sense of poetry...... Don't stop writing young writers. Another competition maybe right around teh corner.. Allahu Alum!

Ramadan Prep Webinar Explained

2016-05-14T12:42:00.000-04:00

WHAT IS THE RAMADAN PREP WITH KIDS WEBINAR ALL ABOUT ?

A very logical question many of you may have........

How many times do we just fall into Ramadan, scrambling to manage all that we have to & would like to do. As mothers we sacrifice a lot of time for our kids, and other household duties on a daily basis. Many a times mothers feel they can't gain as much from Ramadan as they need to fulfill the needs & demands of children, or keep children engaged in Ramadan.

In fact, in Ramadan mothers actually end up craving the "personal Ibadah time" even more, because they know it's such small pocket of time for gaining EXTRA AJR & EXTRA HASANAT, and just like everyone less they would like to maximize it too!

This is something ALL MOTHERS can relate to. Depending on whats happening in our lives and the ages of our children, we find ourselves combating the SPIRITUAL LOW in Ramadan. I've been there.....many times! More, than I would have liked to be and it was mostly because, despite my wanting to I wasn't able to prepare for Ramadan ahead of time. I didn't know exactly what to do and what not to do. In Ramadan I wanted to feel:

more peaceful
more connected to Allah
more diligent in ibadah
more involved with kids in the spirit of Ramadan

Yet I would find myself feeling sad, sometimes even bitter for not being able to achieve what I would have liked to in Ramadan. I wan't to help others not feel that way...... There is a solution. There is a guideline that we can follow as closely or as loosely as possible, given our own unique circumstances.

This webinar is for mothers, to enter Ramadan prepared and focused. It is not only a means of offering ideas, suggestions, reflections & activities to mothers to consciously involve their children in their preparation for Ramadan but also to enjoin their kids to be happily engaged & busy in the spirit of Ramadan, Beidhnillahi Ta'Allah.

If you relate to the above or know someone who needs it ...... Join and encourage others to join

Life saving tools and tricks I've learnt
My self created lessons, activities and so much more.

Salah Centre Revisited

2016-03-12T03:50:00.000-05:00

PROJECT REDO

This post is my commitment to redo the following project with my kids in a different way Inshallah. Once done I will update this post with the new pics Inshallah

NEW PROJECT

COMING SOON BEIDHNILLAH

Salah Centre

The following project will take more than a day to finish but we started out making it today. Inshallah when finished the Salah centre will be put up on the wall in the kids room where my Lil muallims can use is as a reminder of Salah timings, keep their after Salah dua and adhkar booklets and other cards related to Salah.

I took a bristol borad and folded in a 3 parts and cut off an extra strip from the bottom to use inside the salah centre.

Next Lil Muallim # 2 choose shiny craft paper I had lying around to make the cover of the Salah Centre. The cover is actually supposed to signify Bab us Salah the door of Jannah through which those established their prayers on time will enter.

Notice the key hole and the handle? That's for what we made next.......

We made a key with golden card stock and Lil muallim # 2 stuck praying persons coloring on it..... this was to depict the hadith As salatu miftahul Jannah .....Salah is the key to Paradise.

Inside Lil Muallim # 2 stuck the salah timings clock faces around the booklet on the hadith highlighting the importance of praying on time. Check it out.
