0 A Gift from Blooming Authors

Assalamu Aleikum Everyone, 

Welcome back. It’s been a long time since I posted anything. Qaddarallah, it has been a very different year, trips cancelled, events postponed, a distanced world, one meter apart but still connected by the heart. 

Kids at home, and super busy moms badly wanting some quiet time. But for some (like me :) having kids at home is a norm, Alhamdulillah.

So today we are here releasing our free eBooks! (download links bottom of the post) Written by my daughters couple of years ago. (Blooming Authors post)

Subhanallah, those nostalgic moments having little ones around, telling them stories after stories, will never fade away.

No other way is better and easier than to nurture the little minds with stories of real super-heroes, to make them ponder, reflect, and be great Muslims.

Listening, the number one step in literacy, is sadly, neglected nowadays. And there’s more focus on forcing the kids to write, which is in fact the 4th and last step. This really needs to be taken into consideration.

Now is the time to occupy the little Muslims’ ears with beautiful and entertaining stories, creating a circle time and making reading enjoyable, and part of their life, taking them back in time, from manuscripts to eBooks which enrich their hearts, and pave the path to a brighter future InshaAllah.

0 Eid 1441 (2020)


Alhamdulillah, we’re almost at the end of Ramadan. May the Almighty accept our deeds.

Each year is different, each Eid is different, different experiences, emotions, and memories, by His will.

When the kids were younger, it was all about colorful Eid banners, collage art, and cards.

This year, as we are in COVID-crisis, it’s going to be a unique experience, no family-gatherings, visits, handshakes and hugs… which we took for granted.

So, we prepared some lovely envelopes to be sent out to our little nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends In Shaa Allah.

Pretty girls' envelopes 

Smart boys' envelopes  

Wish you all a Happy Eid!

May Allah grant us safety, and allow this hovering cloud to move over and restore normality and ease, and let us come out of this trial closer to our Creator and more refined humans. Ameen!

0 Quarantine into Qur'antime


Quarantine into Qur'antime

Assalamu Aleikum Lovely Sisters!

Let us make our Quarantine into Qur'an-time. A very good opportunity to prepare ourselves for The Month of The Qur'an, which is ahead of us.

Dear moms, it's a time to invest in an everlasting investment which Allah has gifted us with, out of his mercy, our children.

Spend more time with the Qur'an;
  • Pay attention to recitation with proper Tajweed
  • Build the connection and love of Qur'an, as love is the basis of every action.
Begin simple and small;
  • Begin with Surah al-Fatiha, which we repeat in our Salah, the Surah of guidance, cure and supplication.
  • We cannot connect to Him except through what He has revealed.
  • Read together the virtues of the blessed Book (explain and discuss with kids)
Every minute spent with the Qur'an is indeed a light for every step of our life.

As the Hadith states that The People of Qur'an, are Ahlullah people of Allah.

Allah Ta'ala says Whoever the Qur'an & my remembrance preoccupies him from beseeching Me, I give him the best of what the beseechers are given._ Abu Sa'eed al-khudri Radi Allahu 'anhu (Sahih Muslim)

The rewards are plenty, spend time, learn, practice, and enjoy the beauty of this Book, the spring of the heart.

May Allah keep us and our progeny connected to the Qur'an forever!

Umm Abdullah.
