The lovely couple 💕 It was my parents 40th anniversary.As I look back so many beautiful memories rush to my mind.We children have a lot to learn from them.The zest ,zeal and enthusiasm with which they deal with life is amazing.When most couples would just retire from their jobs and routine activities too,they prefer to remain engaged in doing things they enjoy. As soon as Dad and mom got married they settled in Saudi Arabia. Mom's family was already there since few years.The very next year my brother was born.Daddy was working in Riyadh Bank.He worked there for many years.Four years later I was born.Dad got a transfer to the Riyadh branch and we were there for many years.Mummy was a homemaker.She was a good student at school and after marriage,dad encouraged her to study.She didn't want to, as we were small at the time.She spend her time taking care of us,cooking yummy dishes ,sewing and teaching us . We kids were like Tom and Jerry-fighting all the time.Dad and mom had to int...

  KNOWING OUR PROPHET(pbuh)-Part 2 The previous post was about the early life of Muhammad (pbuh).I would like to reflect on this. -Muhammed (saw) was born in the 'Year of the Elephant'(Aam Ul feel).The King Abraha had tried to destroy the Ka'bah but Allah protected it.This year holds great importance in the history and a Chapter of the Qur'an was revealed on this-Surah Al Feel. -Nabi (saw) was born into the most prestigious family of Makkah-The Quraysh.They were the caretakers of the Ka'bah at the time. -His grandfather was the one who had the privilege and honor of finding the long lost well of Zamzam -His family believed in one God -He was a very intelligent child and was very trustworthy from a young age. -His presence itself brought about blessings to those around him.Like how Haleema A Sadiya's family was blessed -Although he was an orphan he was taken care of very well by his grandfather and his paternal uncle after his mother's death. -His uncle took ...

        KNOWING OUR Prophet(PBUH)            We have entered the Lunar month of Rabi Al Awal,the birth month of our Prophet (pbuh), so I decided to read and learn more about him.Join me in the journey of learning about him. Muhammad (pbuh) was born on 12th Rabi Al Awal,Monday in Makkah.His mother's name was Amina and father's name was Abdullah.His tribe was known as Quraysh.His father died before he was born.He comes in the lineage of Ismail (as). Arabs in those days used to send their children to areas away from cities to grow healthy and to learn the pure Arabic language. Nabi(saw) was taken care of by Haleema A Sadiya.She was his wet nurse. She narrates that he brought a lot of blessings along with him. Some incidents- They had travelled to Makkah on a frail donkey ,however when returning with Nabi(saw) the animal moved very swiftly. -Haleema's own child didn't get enough milk before but after she brought Muhammed (saw) home,there was...

Initially there was only one school building for girls and boys and there were 2 shifts,for girls in the morning and boys in the noon.The younger children could choose any shift.Our uniform was sky blue and navy blue.We used to carry big bottles to school School life was very exciting .I remember our play pen ,fancy dress competition and my KG2 teacher .
