O you who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a Fire whose fuel is men and stones, […]} Protect yourself and your family. How can I protect my child if I don’t teach him to love Islam? He will love Islam through me and he will think practicing Islam has brought him this lovely mother, this considerate, caring mother. A mother that excuses him, a mother who defends him, a mother that is there for him, a mother who taught him how to love Allah, a mother who taught him about Jannah before talking to him about the Hellfire. It is more befitting for a child that you start telling him about Jannah and the mercy of Allah. The pen is not writing for him yet, so we must invest the first years making them love Islam: the rulings of Islam, the mercy of Islam, the gentleness of Islam, the giving of Islam… he will respect you and he will love you. And then if you are displeased with him, this in itself would be enough punishment for him. This is the best way to affect a child and work on his heart: for his heart to feel ashamed of himself; make him feel that in a gentle way, without shouting or hitting or severe punishment. Take the means that will make them love you; and when they love you, they will love your way. When they love you, they will love Islam. They will know the beauty of Islam because they are experiencing the beauty of Islam. They are benefitting from his mother now, because when she understood about Islam, she changed. She is now respecting them, she is more loving, she is more gentle, she is more giving, she is more understanding… so you are now a reason for them to love Islam. And for you and me this is enough in front of Allah: “Oh Allah, I have done my duty. I took the means. As for guidance, it is up to you Allah, but I did take the means.” Imagine if your child is 15 years old, and you used to beat him and shout at him and force him to go and pray and force him to do this and that…and you used to say bad words about him… and he now hates everything about Islam and you realise that you were one of the reasons for him not to be guided. You repelled him. This is a great pain and a great guilt. So, new or aspiring homeschooling people, gather around! these are more M&Ms than pearls of wisdom, but here you go:

It’s a beautiful story – told from the perspective of a camel (with the most amazing sound effects). This means that the hardest part is when my kids demand that I narrate the story with sound effects 🤦‍♀️ The story is based around the following hadith: The concept of a Ramadan family journal has been a rather shapeless idea of mine for a while. Ramadan is such a special time – despite the relative hardship that comes with it – that we cannot help having a special drawer of our memory full of “what we read that Ramadan” or “what we ate that Ramadan” and “… remember when you used to fast only until lunchtime?” All the memories related to our journey as slaves of Allah; the kids *and* the parents! All that Ramadan learning.Children are naturally drawn to anything that is fun for them, it makes them look forward to the next experience.

It’s a very cute story – told from the perspective of a bird whose children she deeply loves. It is based on the following hadith: Nabeeha Khan and Wardah Khan are sisters with almost 10 kids between them! In their pod cast, they share their experiences about motherhood, relationships, and striving to build happy Muslim families. This is the story of a sahabi – companion of Prophet (ﷺ) – Salman Farsi (رضي الله عنه‎). How he came to Islam after researching many religions in depth. A boy who went on such long journeys that before he reached halfway he had grown into a man. Sometimes the journey was easy. Often – it was hard. But the boy in this story kept going, and in the end, he won his reward and found Islam – the truth. 8) Salah-ad-din and the Frankish boy Because Prophet Muhammad was spreading the word of God. Because he was changing, for better, the lives of many Arabs and because some Arabs felt that by the teachings of Muhammad their old idols were losing power they disliked Muhammad and planned to kill him. Every time they tried to kill him, they failed. This angered the enemies of Islam even more. So they began to harass him in every way they knew.The Thinking Muslim is dedicated to exploring issues in some more depth and untangling the complexities of the world around us. The podcast engages thinkers, academics, and scholars in conversation on a number of themes to appreciate the ideas that make-up Islam as a system of thought. I loved how Muhammad (saw) named his animals too. It’s said that Al-Qaswa’ was the name of the Prophet’s one of the 3 she-camels; the other two were named Al-Jad`aa and Al-Adbaa’. In this story, the user has to clean the camel, give her water, feed her healthy treats, get her ready for traveling, etc. You can see one of the clips HERE. 29) Arabic numbers (sifr & waahid)
