0 New Grade - Muharram 1439

Alhamdulillah, we’ve reached the Hijri year 1439 by the mercy of Allah, while many of our beloved ones’ have reached our loving Creator. Subhanallah, we have been given another opportunity to increase our good deeds in order to make the day we reach him the best Insha Allah.

Aaaah, as usual we move onto new grades every Muharram. This day is one of the joyous day in my life to see my children with their new books reaching a higher grade.

Nothing makes me happier than listening to my beloved kids reciting the beautiful verses of Quran and enjoying the reading time, listening the stories of the Sahabah which they read to me. 

I know all the parents enjoy them, but what makes it special to me is that teaching each one of them was different experience and the joyful moments we spent together for learning are awesome, Subhanallah.

Letter given to my hero on the first day of last year Muharram and some of his drawings.

 

 

 

The smart voice of my Little Soldier reading and stumbling with hard words in our circles still rings in my ears and sweet memories are something that cannot be forgotten and brings joyous tears, Alhamdulillah. We really miss you!

Alhamdulillah, by the will of Allah I had to pass a great test of missing my hero in our first day celebration this year, the last year’s memory of all 4 gems whom Allah blessed me with, standing in rows with their new red dress happy and excited with their innocent faces is still fresh in my mind, Subhanallaaaaah. Qaddarallah

Once again I talked to my inner self that the sole purpose of this beautiful journey is to meet our Creator in a state when he is pleased with us, and yes one member in our team met his Creator in his tender sinless age Alhamdulillah.

Our Little Sister is turning 5 and starting her English alphabets, and has completed her Arabic alphabets (Qaa’idah), Alhamdulillah.

We pray to Him for guidance and help throughout our journey for the success of both worlds!

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!

الحمد لله وحده والصلاة والسلام على من لا نبى بعده 
All praise is due to Allah alone, and peace and blessings be upon him after whom there is no other Prophet.

 And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds. [21:107]

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ ‏ إِنَّ مَثَلِي وَمَثَلَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ مِنْ قَبْلِي كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ بَنَى بَيْتًا فَأَحْسَنَهُ وَأَجْمَلَهُ، إِلاَّ مَوْضِعَ لَبِنَةٍ مِنْ زَاوِيَةٍ، فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَطُوفُونَ بِهِ وَيَعْجَبُونَ لَهُ، وَيَقُولُونَ هَلاَّ وُضِعَتْ هَذِهِ اللَّبِنَةُ قَالَ فَأَنَا اللَّبِنَةُ، وَأَنَا خَاتِمُ النَّبِيِّينَ (رواه البخارى)

Narrated Abu Huraira رضى الله عنه : Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: My similitude in comparison with the other prophets before me, is that of a man who has built a house nicely and beautifully, except for a place of one brick in a corner. The people go about it and wonder at its beauty, but say: 'Would that this brick be put in its place!' So I am that brick, and I am the last of the Prophets. [Bukahri]

Alhamdulillah, We have entered into a blessed month (Rabi al-Awwal) in which the bearer of glad tidings, The Warner, The Radiant Lamp, The Prophet and mercy whom Allah clothed with the garment of honor and acceptance, master of both the worlds Muhammed صلى الله عليه وسلم was born.

The success of both world lies only in complying with the commandments of Allah in the way shown by Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم .

Today the world is corrupted so much that the immature hearts of our innocent children are being attracted towards sin and immodest lifestyle of kuffar. So, it is a must upon every parent to inculcate the love and the lifestyle of our beloved Rasulllah into their hearts. Also to teach the biography of the blessed and his family members.

Love of Allah's messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم  is better than the blood which flows in ones body. (as life in this temporary world depends on the blood in our body, whereas the eternal life on the hereafter is doomed if one does not possess love for the prophet.

Another point to consider is to teach them on how to invoke blessings on Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. There are several blessings and virtues mentioned in Ahadeeth.

It is narrated that Abu bakr used to say invoking blessings on the prophet extinguishes sins more than the cold water extinguishes fire and sending peace on him is better than freeing slaves.

Subhanallah, A wonderful book that enraptured my heart, Manifestations of Prophet Muhammad's Beauty complied by As-Sheikh Yusuf Motala. Sheikh everything in detail about Rasullah صلى الله عليه وسلم His Family members, Clothing, Camel, Goat, Food he like etc.... A great book to read together with kids.

Masha Allah, Another computer program found about Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم for children. To make them understand the characters of Nobel Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in an interesting way. We have uploaded a demo on our YouTube channel including download link.
