Quotes, hadeeth, surah, ayahs and stuff to remember..... ""No father can give his child a better gift than good manners, good character and a good education." – Tirmidhi. "While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about." ~Angela Schwindt "Whatever an education is, it should make you a unique individual, not a conformist; it should furnish you with an original spirit with which to tackle the big challenges; it should allow you to find values which will be your road map through life; it should make you spiritually rich, a person who loves whatever you are doing, wherever you are, whomever you are with; it should teach you what is important, how to live and how to die." -- From Dumbing us Down by John Taylor Gatto "Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record]" [Translation of the Meaning of the Quran,, 50;18] ____________________________________________________ Mind your tongue!

  • Help your child(ren) Don’t hinder them!

    Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said "How many people have caused misery to their own children, the apples of their eyes, in this world and in the Hereafter, by neglecting them, not disciplining them, encouraging them to follow their whims and desires, thinking that they were honouring them when they were in fact humiliating them, that they were being merciful to them when in fact they were wronging them. They have not benefited from having a child, and they have made the child lose his share in this world and in the Hereafter. If you think about the corruption of children you will see that in most cases it is because of the parents.”

Book covers, Abayas, skirts, and niqaabs-random thoughts

Posted on October 30, 2012 by The mamá

Have you ever picked up a book and it’s cover is plain, non inviting, mysterious or funky and it made you form an opinion of the plot of the book?

Just a random thought I had as I spoke with a dear friend, muslimah, mom, sister….

Our Islamic attire is JUST that. Attire.

My clothing, an abaya (long loose dress like covering muslim women wear, a skirt, a niqaab (face veil) Can NEVER tell you exciting, boring, interesting, diverse, opinionated or quiet I am.

Just like book covers can be misleading so can clothing. If you want to know Islam pick up a copy of the Noble Quran. If you want to know me get to know me, than asking or befriending is best and don’t not assume my life/opinions, likes, and thoughts based on my color of clothing or seemingly look of it.

  • "Más vale un "toma" que dos "te daré"." Spanish- a loose English translation would be "it is of more value a (to say) "here" than 2 "I'll give you"" Basically helping/doing/giving is Far better than empty promises “A mother is a school, preparing her is like preparing a good nation.” an old Arab Proverb "Quien a buen árbol se arrima, buena sombra le cobija." loose English translation= "the one whom to a good tree is near, will have good shade" "Hombre prevenido vale por dos."
