Praising Allah!

SubhanAllah!  Alhamdulillah! Allah u Akbar! MashAllah! La ilaha illal la! 

One should always glorify Allah, praise Him, and remember Him in our daily hectic life so that He remember us. Allah say in Surah Baqarah,

"So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me."

 I recently heard in a lecture in which it was said that when a  slave praises Him saying, SubhanALLAH, Alhamdulillah, Allah U Akbar! That person name revolves around The throne of ALLAH (SWT)! SubhanAllah..how beautiful is that!

Not only  I try to practice remembering  Him ...I strated using such praisng words in front of Manha ...with time she started saying it MashAllah! Feeling of accomplishment! :)

The funning thing is when she start a meal...after two bites she said "Alhamdulillah" -in fact "Ambdulillah" - in her language - meaning "Aami finshed" - done with the meal! :)

When she praises something she used to say "Aahaa" now she adds MashAllah too!

Upon finishing building block or finish reading or drinking milk ..she praises!

MashAllah! and Alhamdulillah! are part of her vocabulary! Again it is never too late to give exposure ..child absorbs it quickly!

Busy Mama, Busy Manha!

One thing that really annoys me, is to make her sit  in front of a black screen in the name of entertainment - just to make occupied while i am doing household chores!! Despite of providing her Islamic version of cartoons or educational stuff  ..but still, it bothers me a lot!

So I tried to involved her in some activities which she can do herself or when simply my eye on her works! :) Little bit successful in it but more effort needed as children easily get bored ...they need variety!

• Painting!!

Brushing on a magic coloring book!

• Building blocks

• Tracing shapes.

Scribbling.

• Stamping.

Colorful Bunties!!

On her "CHOCOOLATE" request, I gave her some colorful bunties!
And here we started our new activity -"Learning Colors!" It was fun learning colors with her! :)
Within two or three days.. she started recognizing and exploring colors!

Now she points me out colors on her books, toys etc.. Even we had this activity in cloth matket  :)

It reminds me of a chart of colors and shapes that I bought when she was only six months months old! She was extremely happy to see that and started pointing colors .."AAMI...BLUE, PINK...." 

Simple stuff, simple activities but kiddo huge response makes Mom feel out of the world!! :)

What is this?

I really just fell in love with her "What is this?" in a very cute accent!

As there is an increment in her vocabulary MashAllah, we did some activity!
I drew things on a paper or on her wipe and clean board and asked her to name it "What is this?" And she named them MashAllah!!

Now she loves to do this..she asked every other person available at home and asked them to draw and  asked us "What is this? and then she named it! :)

Children has innate ability to acquire knowledge, they are motivated, curious! MashAllah!
