0 Eid Cards 1437 (2016)

Happy Eid Mubarak for everyone in advance! Subhanallah, the days are passing so swiftly and we are almost at the end of this blessed month. We pray that all our deeds may be accepted and our souls be purified!

Making Eid cards have been a part of enjoyment for us since a few years. Sending and receiving greetings creates love between each other and especially the collections of the greetings brings a sort of joy even years letter.

Alhamdulillah, now Big sister is able to design her own and help her siblings as well which is a great relief for me to save my time.

Here come our cards

Oh, finally our Little sister’s pretty little card. This is her first card for her pen pal. What a lovely feeling!

 May these friendships open up the path to help each other for the truth!

0 New Grade - Muharram 1437

Subhanallah, as we enter into another new hijri year, I’m really astonished how the days and years pass so swiftly and how rapidly the little ones grow Masha Allah…

As usual kids were actively preparing for their new grades academically. Although each & every day is a learning adventure for a homeschooler the upgrading of new grade is a joy and grants them a sort of enthusiasm in their learning.

Our new brilliant student for this year is our Little sister who is the youngest at home, quite advanced and petted by all of us.

 It is so fascinating to see how she is warmly welcomed by her siblings. This beautiful Arabic alphabet chart was done by her elder sisters.

And the English alphabet is for our little soldier done by Big sister.

Finally our gorgeous journal for the year was designed by dear hubby Alhamdulillah.

Ah, ha, it is not an easy task unless by the help of Allah. Shaythan comes in different angles to corrupt our minds. But one thing to remember is that which I listened from one of the lectures of Moulana Mufthi Ismail Menk “Spending time with children is a form of Ibadah and is one of the actions of Ambiya.

Our only desire is that our children love the Rabb of the universe with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength and adhere to his commands at all times.

Today we live in a global village, bombarded with fitnas from all corners. We pray to Allah for a humble offspring who are going to be steadfast in this Deen and spread it across the globe Insha Allah.

May Allah accept our efforts and guide us on the straight path!

0 Pillars of Islam

Alhamdulillah, today we are here with our little soldier’s pillars of Islam activity for his lesson from Bright Star Thasheel books. Masha Allah there are a lots of beautiful projects done by other dear homeschoolers.

This one was done using paper towel rolls and we used an old carton to lay the pillars in order. The pictures and the numbers were taken from old activity books. I used the pictures and the number so that it will be easy for him to understand.

The curious fellow was so happy and he is saying the pillars in order and is also familiar with the names of five times salah too.

Subhanallah, we are almost at the end of the lunar year and it is time to evaluate the kids before we move onto the new grade on Muharram Insha Allah. So, we are being a bit busy doing our exams and hope we will have our next post Mmm…., May be around next month Insha Allah.

1 Eid Cards 1436 (2015)

Alhamdulillah, we are almost at the end of this blessed month. May Allah accept all our good deeds!

It is interesting to see children grow and activities differ year after year. Alhamdulillah , little princess was able to fast all until today without much tantrum, Masha allah.

As usual kids were eager about preparing their eid cards for pen pals and friends. By the will of Allah I was feeling sick and tired for few days and was not in a good position to spend time with their project. 

By the grace of Allah Big sister is quite grown and she was ready to prepare and help her siblings. They used whatever stuff was available at home to decorate their cards.

You can see the beautiful work of my little ones :)

These three are to be sent for big sister’s pen pals

Then comes the little princess’s stuff.

Oh, yes this is our little soldier’s, He is no more a little soldier. Now he is the big boss at our home. You can see he has decorated the eid masjid with colorful bulbs.

Finally, our cute little sister’s card to be given to a cousin of her age.

Wish you all a HAPPY EID. May the blessings of Eid be with you throughout your life!

Also let us pray for the Muslim ummah across the globe for peace and harmony. And may Allah help the mujaahideen who are striving to safeguard the deen of Allah!

1 Eid Cards

Subhanallah, The days are passing so quickly we are now in the blessed last 10 days of Ramadan. As the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said look for Lailathul Qadr during the odd numbered nights of last 10 days of this month. Fortunate is the person who gets the full bessings of the night of Lailathul Qadr by spending it in ibada of Allah. May Allah make us among them!.

Though the time passes swifty kids need their enjoyinment and entertainment, I hope that the time I spend with them will be counted as ibada in order to protect them from haram entertainment. 

Big Sister wanted to sent some Eid cards to her friends, this year we tried with different and simple design. Alhamdulillah it came out well.
