Who is Allah?

Being a Muslim parent, its our responsibility to introduce Allah (SWT) to our children as early as we can! So they may have concept of the One, who is not visible to them but yet there all the time, everywhere, providing us protection and His blessings!

Alhamdulillah, successful  in introducing Manha few concepts about Allah (SWT)!

MashAllah, now she pronounces the Almighty name"Allah"!
Declares His Oneness by saying "Allah Aik Hai" and with great expressions she say "Allah har jaga hai" means Allah is everywhere!"


Obviously ..children don't understand it spiritually so early but with time, by repetition and by  being consistent...InshAllah one day they live their for the sake of The One who create them!Our role is to make them conscious of Allah all the time!!

May Allah make them Mutaqeen - pious servants of Allah!

Appreciate Yourself!!

Cleaning, mopping, cooking, nursing etc... are all tedious chores of a house wife!! One should not take it as burdensome or for granted too!! But rather an ibadah! Whenever i had feeling negative about my daily house routine..the following came across my mind,

“Shall I not teach you something better than what you asked for? When you go to your bed, magnify Allah thirty-four times, glorify Him thirty-three times and praise Him thirty-three times. That is better for you than a servant.””
[Sahih Bukhari: 3502 and Muslim: 2727]

This was the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) advice to her daughter Fatima (R.A) - the leader of the women of the worlds, when she asked for a maid to help her in household chores..  SubhanAllah!

With the firm belief in Allah and for the sake of His (SWT) pleasure, if we really try to be productive - well planned where we manage time for everything appropriately, not burdening oneself ...but to give quality time to our deen, household chores,relationships, studies etc...depending upon the priorities, one can live content and happy life!!

Trial and tribulations are part of life. Allah will surely test us, that's for what we here for! But one should always appreciate oneself - no matter how little or big the task was! Weather you cooked good or  you finally find time in a hectic day for Quran or you just help your child pronouncing her first word "MAMA" , "ALLAH" whatever... APPRECIATE YOURSELF!! It really doesn't matter any one does it or not, You should value and respect yourself then pray and work  for whatever you want to achieve next!

Since my girl was born or i can say before that too, i have always been curious that what good role I can play in her life as a mother..to gave her qualitative stuff..weather its her feeding, dressing, learning etc..as i guess every mother does..but at the end of the day I feel my girl is neglected as I was busy somewhere else in house hold chores or in other stuff!! But sooner I realize Alhamdulillah by her acts or by her way of exploring world - her dealings, learning and representing herself ...makes me feel appreciated that I am playing some vital role in her life of course with Allah assistance!! We are nothing without Him! It really feels me appreciated when I blog our activities no matter how tiny those tasks are!! It makes me more positive, content and happy!!

Don't be boastful, be humble but Appreciate Yourself!! :)
