Assalamu ‘alaykum and welcome. Download your RAMADAN DOODLE CHALLENGE list HERE. I am getting the usual last minute rush of pre-Ramadan ideas. New concepts emerge thick and fast from the brain fog, between teaching to tell the time and washing a big pile of dishes. As we know, the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad (sallaRead more
Assalamu alaykum and welcome. When I set out to review and improve “30 Days with the Names of Allah” (which I first compiled in 2017), I was excited to offer a better product to the Muslim community; however, I was conscious that at least some children – including my own – had aready completed it.Read more
17 Ramadan 1441/ 10 May 2020: As of today the free PDF 30 Days with the names of Allah has been edited to correct the following typos: The proof for the Name ash-Shakoor is surah Faatir 35:34 (NOT surah Hashr) and the proof of the Name as-Samee’ is surah al-Baqarah 2:127 (NOT 126).

Assalamo alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. Are you looking for something not too demanding yet engaging to occupy your children in Ramadan?

Assalamo alaykum and welcome. It is the time of year when those who haven’t been blessed with the opportunity to perform this great act of worship, feel like brushing up on their knowledge of Hajj. I chose the Understanding Hajj Series by Abu Muadh Taqweem Aslam. I find the teaching style of this student ofRead more
Assalamo alaykum and welcome. We have missed poetry teatime, alhamdulillah. If you are not sure what poetry teatime is, it involves reading poetry aloud in your homeschool as part of a lifestyle in which children – and their adults! – are immersed in a rich linguistic and literary environment. To make it even better, itRead more
Assalamo alaykum and welcome. Download your FREE TA-DAH list HERE We all have some really good homeschooling streaks: we are all nicely settled into the routine, learning takes place, the parent feels reasonably in control and everybody is pretty happy. And then… BOOM! Staying guests. A family trip. Eid. A stomach bug. The routine isRead more
Assalamo alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh and welcome. Is it just me or it all seemed a lot easier when the children were smaller? Or at least all in the same sort of age group… Now in one household of 5 there are 4 different schedules for meals and sleeping; and hardly any time whenRead more
Assalamo alaykum and welcome. As mothers, we have heard it and said it countless times: “You can’t pour from an empty cup.” As Muslims, we know how that “cup” can ever truly be filled.
