PART 1
We had been missing sumthin in our lives for a while.... we make solaah, fast during ramadaan , do all the right things but for sum or other reason my life just wasnt making me feel good. I was constantly snapping at hubby and the kids.... no sabr at times.... I could feel my Imaan wasnt strong enough.
So Ramadaan 2009 made me feel so spiritually alive .... I was on maternity leve, well actually i had resigned so i was stress free. I had all this time to devote to my family. I started looking... really looking into my kids lives , spending lotsa time with them and i met sum ladies.... spiritually strong ladies that were very inspiring...Algamdulilah.... Shukr to Allah for guiding them all my way :)
I realized how important a mothers role is in her family , Even tho the father is the "head" / sultan /the leader of the family, the mother is the nurturer , the educator for tomoro's future. It was as if a light had switched on 4 me !
Then things went on.... on and off and we got the oppurtunity to go for Umrah with our kids.
Hubby was very excited.... needless to say i was freaking out cos 4 kids .... 30 degrees weather.... foreign country.... n a journey that i really wanted to do without them holding me back.... but after speaking to many women who had gone with thr kids ( n believe me its a very diff journey with them... ) i stopped stressing n sd TAWAKAL ALAH.....
It was a most wonderful experience n shukr for my hubby who had all the patience with them and who made the right decision to take them with.They had a blast ( as they would say) and the eldest 1 was very emotional and he's only ten.
They loved Madina....(WHO WOULDNT) and they wanted us to move thr.
When we got back home, we all realized how much we missed that life ...the peacefulness and being close to your Maker.
That was August 2010 and that was wen we decided we wanted sumthing beta for them....
We wanted them to grow up loving the qur'an and our beloved Nabee Muhammad SAW. Like really love...
I wanted them to have that love in thr hearts for Allah and our Nabee SAW like they have for thr parents at this point in thr lives.... Innocent love.....
U no the way we feel as adults now about our deen.... we wanted them to grow up with that feeling.
We wanted them to use thr time constructively, cos the life now is very fast and we needed to protect our kids very well .....n the best protection is our DEEN.... n to follow the path of Nabee Muhammad SAW.
It has been shown thro the many decades that the Huffath, those individuals practice Akhlaq... N that is wat we want for our kids!!
Such children who have the Noble Qur'an in the chests and who strive for the refinement of their character and personalities are worth their weight in gold.
Gotta go sleep ...continue tomoro....
This was fun actually!
Asalaamoe alaykoem
The Holy Qur’ān was sent down to mankind through our Beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAWS), as a guiding light to humanity and a cure for our hearts.
