  Assalamu Alaikum Wrwb Importance of Friday -Yaum ul Jumuah (Friday) is the best day that the sun rises (HADITH) -Adam(Mpbuh) was created ,he entered Jannah -He came into this earth -He repented to Allah -Day of Judgement will occur on Friday(Nabi SAW) Friday is said to be the leader of other days.It is a day of happiness for the believers.Everyone leaves their work and businesses and rush to the remembrance of Allah.Not rushing physically but with dignity and Sakeenah.(peace of mind). It is a blessed day.Whoever dies on friday will be saved from the punishment of the grave.(Thursday after maghrib till Friday maghrib). SUBHANALLAH!!!

As Ramadan bids Adieu

Image
 Assalamu alaikum wrwb Hoping each one of you is in the best of health and Emaan.All of us have different backgrounds but the common factor ofcourse is in our beliefs.With the most holy month about to bid adieu,we may be trying to do our best.Some may be students,parents of young children,carers of the aged etc.We do feel the push of life, be it with studies,issues at workplace,family problems,kids etc. Just remember one thing that our religion is in no way complicated,it is just a way of life. Some points which I think will help all of us.Reminder to myself first. 👉Remember to do everything with proper intention-be it studying,your job,household chores,taking care of kids or aged parents etc.With intention of doing things for the sake of Allah ,in sha Allah you will be rewarded. 👉Focus on obligatory acts of worship first . 👉Be sure to read Qu ran daily even it may be few verses only.Try reading with meanings and try to implement it in your lives 👉Praise and Glorify Allah,send ...

To my little ones

To my little ones My dear Munchkins , Umma has lots to pen but don't want to bore you.I promise to keep it short. As I write I have no idea if I can convey right.I entered motherhood without much idea of what to expect.I was studying back then and felt very emotional on leaving my first born even for few hours everyday.Gradually I returned home with you and we started living our new life.Being a spoon fed girl in my childhood,there were many challenges. Both me and your dad were still students and were in our stage of life where we were trying to do our best to ensure a good future for you. As years rolled by,your siblings joined us in our journey.Being parents ,we have had our ups and downs and have made mistakes in our endeavour to give you the best of everything. I had like to pen down few things which might help you in life. -Never take life for granted.Acknowledge the blessings and be grateful to your Lord -Don't always expect happiness.There will be tough situations in li...

54th National Day (Eid-Al Ittihad)

Image
53years..Masha Allah..UAE indeed has come a long way ahead. It was almost 8 years ago that I stepped into UAE as a resident and I am Alhamdulillah happy for that. UAE is one of the most visited countries in the world.It is definitely not surprising because of the programmes,activities,safety measures and all here.Even during Covid times,it was one country which opened up it's doors to bring life back to normal. What I love the most about UAE is that there is no bias or mistreatment of  people based on gender,race,culture or religion.All people here are valued and feel very much at home.  Emiratis have a very friendly nature . While teaching my kids UAE history, I learned about Sheikh Zayed(Baba Zayed) -the founding father.It was his vision to empower women and he gave lots of importance to education.  The introduction of Golden visas has been a big step and a relief to many. UAE is a land of natural resources. We can enjoy the scenic beauty in the mountains,deserts and be...

The masked life

Image
December 2019 -a year we would   never forget. It  all started somewhere in China-A rare flu like disease. We heard about it in the news and it didnt affect us at that time.Year 2020 began and all of a sudden ,we heard about the spread to various countries.By March,UAE shut down schools and people were asked to work from home.In China,Italy and some other countries the condition had become very critical.Movement restrictions came about,flights got banned.There was a rapid increase in cases everyday.The world was then declared to be affected by the pandemic -Covid 19. Lockdown was declared for an uncertain period in India and some other countries. Unlike floods,earthquakes and famines ,this affected every single person.People lost their jobs,lives and mental peace and well being. No medical facility could give the exact treatment required so everyone had to resort to social distancing,masks and sanitizers. Everyone had to stay home and this affected many psychologically. Some u...

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...
