2 Little Prince Ready for Takeoff!

Alhamdulillah, experiencing the same emotions after a decade…

Home educating has been my lifetime passion and an emotional journey, it has also been quite challenging, especially nowadays.

By the mercy of my Lord, it brings me joyful tears to see my children grown up and excelling in so many things.

The moments we spend together with toddlers are the best moments in our lives. This is a journey that requires serious undertaking, dedication and creativity, which cannot be done except with the help of the Almighty, hoping for His pleasure and rewards despite the challenges.
Indeed, a great responsibility rests upon the shoulders of every parent and caretaker raising up good Muslims, great heroes of Islam. Home is the original educational incubator that either breathes life into it or kills the nature. (Fitra)

It’s a totally different experience for me as well as for Little Prince. From little kids all in a classroom, it’s now all teenagers together welcoming the hero as he takes his first steps into the world, Alhamdulillah.

This brings me back all the memories of my beloved son, who is resting in peace.  

Today is a day of mixed emotions as we humble ourselves to the merciful Lord to whom everything belongs. 

Our heartfelt Du’as for all the children around the world. May Allah grant them peace, security, and happiness!

May Allah accept our efforts, grant us success in our affairs, and make us and our progeny among those whom He is pleased with and who are pleased with Him.

0 Quiet Book For Little Sister!

Subhanallah! As parents we knew that nothing is more pleasing and cheerful than admiring the stages of growth of our precious ones.

Birth to six years of a child’s life are precious fertile years which should not be wasted. It is a period that they absorb mountains of information and they are curious that they constantly handle and touch everything in sight. They must not be allowed to spend the most formative years of their life sitting like a nonentity in his sandbox. They love to work with their hands which is an important activity in their development.

It is so amazing that the days are passing so swiftly that I still have the sweet memories and feelings of the day I gave birth to my little girl who is turning two next month Insha Allah. There is a tug of war to face, you might wonder what it is….

Yes, weaning the little girl. Alhamdulillah, I thank Allah for granting me the ability to fulfill this particular right of a child as well as the command of my Rabb which can be done only within two years of period. A mother who knows the numerous and wonderful benefits of it will never neglect her child from this valuable gift for minor reasons. May Allah accept us!

Ok, now I’ll dive into the subject which I wanted to post. This is a quiet or busy book which keeps the child busy while he or she is quiet. It has a fine and rich look when done with felt material, but I used the left over materials which was available at home to complete this tedious job. Any way the purpose is served and I am so glad that she loves it so much and my 4 year old also spends time with it.

Teaches self-control and coordination of movements.

Learning to dress. (Self-reliance)

How to use buckles

Peekaboo, they named the little boy Yusuf. Also learning to use hook buttons.

Lacing a shoe (develops hand- eye coordination)

 Zipping (she keeps the shapes inside this pouch)

  Match the shapes via Velcro tape.

Mystery bags (I filled it with bangles, buttons and beads etc…) which develops tactile sense and tying a bow develops muscle control and learning how to complete a cycle.

Alhamdulillah we are here after a longtime with some of our Little Princess's activities. This is a small booklet which she did for her Aqaaid lesson under the topic "Allah made everything". 

Subhanallah, how wonderful and amazing is it to talk about the mighty lord who raised the skies without any pillars and who adorned them with starts and moon. The one who created Adam عليه السلام , blew his spirit into him and chose him for apostleship, just as he chose Idrees عليه السلام and Nuh عليه السلام. He made Ibrahim عليه السلام his intimate friend. Musa عليه السلام his interlocutor and Ismail عليه السلام the one to be slaughtered. The one who helped Hud عليه السلام, Softened iron for Dawood عليه السلام, Subjugated the wind for Sulaiman عليه السلام, Supported Salih عليه السلام with his signs and Haroon عليه السلام with his message. Made the Masih عليه السلام a spirit, Taught Yousoof عليه السلام the interpretation of dreams and distinguished Luqman عليه السلام with wisdom filling his heart therewith when he was asleep. 

The one who sent Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم our beloved prophet and the final messenger as bearer of glad tidings the warner and a radiant lamp who is clothed with the garment of honor and acceptance.    

Such is Allah the one who can not be described by words. I talked to kids about Allah while she was making the book and I explained that how much time it is taking to prepare this small book but... Allah is such powerful that it does not take any efforts or time for Allah to make anything. He says "be" and it becomes and so on etc...    

As this is the first and foremost thing that should be instilled into the pure hearts of our littles ones.

May Allah accept our efforts!
