Prayer Rug Magnets

We're in the last 10 days of Ramadan, and this is the craft we did yesterday.



I got the idea from here. Jazahallahu khairan.

I told my children that since we're in the last 10 days of Ramadan, we should be spending more time on the prayer rugs, praying, and asking duas for Allah(SWT).

Egg Shell Mosaic Art

We did another craft activity today.










We painted the egg shells first, and then pasted them on papers to make mosaic arts.
We loved this craft, alhamudulillah, it was fun!!
This will be another memory for Ramadan, inshaAllah.

Ramadan Lantern

Ramadan is half way over already!
SubhanAllah, time really flies!
My daughters have been fasting whole day this Ramadan, inshaAllah, hope they will make it to the end this Ramadan.

We're spending our days reciting and memorizing Quran.
We've also memorized some new supplications and hadiths, too.
We're using Ad-Duha curricurum for Islamic studies.
And... here is the fun part of Ramadan! Yes, craft!!

Little ones tend to keep us busy, so we're not able to do much, but, this is the craft we did recently.

Ramadan lantern.




We painted the empty jars with glass paint.





This is what they look like when the candles are put inside.





InshaAllah, we'd like to do more crafts later on.

Our Ramadan Bulletin Board!

Ramadan Kareem!

Well, Ramadan is already here,and time is going very fast this Ramadan.( Maybe it's because I have two little ones to keep me busy!)

This is the third year of fasting for our daughters, and they've been fasting full days so far. We have set up a Ramadan bulletin board this year.





I have used many materials from this site. May Allah reward the sisters for sharing!!

We made Hifdh Trees for each of the children.
I traced each child's hand, and made it into a tree trunk.


We'll be adding a leaf or a flower everytime they memorize a new dua or a new surah.
It will look like this with leaves and flowers.


And dua lists for each child.


They can be kept in this pocket.



And here is the good deed stars mobile that we made using materials from Umm Abdul Basir's





May Allah reward her abundantly for sharing!!

My oldest one is memorizing Al Hadid right now, and the younger one, Al Saff. Hope they can make lots of progress on their hifdh journey.

May you all have a succesful Ramadan!!

Another Ramadan is just around the corner!

Long time no post!

Well, time really flies everyday, and another Ramadan is just around the corner already!
This will be the third year of fasting for my daughters.
This year, we'll be fasting right in the middle of SUMMER!
Yes, it's very HOT and the time we need to fast will be sooo long, but inshaAllah, Allah will make it easy for us:)

The news is, we have started out a local playgroup for muslim children last month, alhamdulillah. We do some crafts and worksheets related to Islamic themes, and some Arabic activities. My children loved it so much,alhamdulillah.

We're planning to have some craft acitivities during Ramadan. InshaAllah, I'm thinking of making Ramadan mobiles, Ramadan bulletin board, stained grass jars, prayer rug magnets, etc. May Allah make it a memorable Ramadan with much blessings for you and for us!!

"Together We Read"

I'm not blogging much these days, due to my life that got a little busier after my second son was born, and due to my computer which is way too slow!
And I hadn't been seeing other blogs, either.

So when I saw "A Muslim Child is Born" after a long time, all I could say was, "Wow!
MashaAllah!!".

I'm always amazed at her ideas and neat works that she's been doing with her children, mashaAllah. And what excited me the most was the fact that she will start a reading project which will be held once a month, inshaAllah. I'm so excited to see how it will be. And inshaAllah, I'd like to join in this program, inshaAllah(if I have the book used in the program). If you're interested, please go and see her blog(it(s full of neat ideas, mashaAllah). May Allah reward her well for all the work she's been doing and sharing for the sake of Allah, ameen!
