Surah al-Kahf (The Cave). The virtues of reading it every Friday.
For explanations of Surah al-Kahf, when to pray it and how, scroll below the videos. ‘Whoever recites Surah al-Kahf on a Friday, light will shine brightly for him till next Friday’, reports Abu Sa’id (Hakim). ‘Whoever learns and preserves, in heart and practice, the first ten Ayahs of al-Kahf, he will be protected from al-Dajjal’, [...]

Teaching children how to type and have fun
Thanks Elizabeth for leading my girls and I to a GREAT learn-to-type website! Dance Mat Typing by BBC! We tried a few other fun programs years ago (can’t find them now), but none had a “curriculum” like this website! Our 7-year old went through the entire 1st lesson, Home Run, laughing and cheering [...]
American Muslim Women Hijab Fashion on Today Show 7/15/07
JAK (Jazaha Allahu Khayrun) Jamerican Muslimah for the links! My girls and I do not agree with tight jeans, showing your curves, or straying away from the true blessings of having hijab (covering with modesty). It doesn’t mean to simply cover ones hair, and leave the rest of our bodies out to “show”, it’s an [...]

Total Lunar Eclipse Tonight – February 20, 2008
Allah is He Who raised up the heavens without any support-you can see that-and then established Himself firmly on the Throne. He made the sun and moon subservient, each running for a specified term. He directs the whole affair. He makes the Signs clear so that hopefully you will be certain about the meeting with [...]
HarunYahya.com – An Invitation to the Truth
HarunYahya.com – An Invitation to the Truth is an Islamic website we can NOT live without! This is one of the very few websites I often share with our non-Muslim friends who ask more about Islam, or are interested in learning more. It’s truly amazing because Harun Yahya, a scientist by trade, takes our religion [...]
Bringing Up Children in Islam by M.H.Mukhtaar
A must-have reference book for every single Muslim parent! Bringing up Children in Islam by M.H. Mukhtaar I have this by my bed-side and pick up per-topic on a as-needed basis. Its very dense reading, and I haven’t been successful at reading chronologically. Insha’Allah, I will share excerpts whenever topics of our lives as parents [...]
Meeting the Challenge, Parenting in the West by Beshir & Beshir
I had this book for over 6 years, and tried numerous times to read this…but the language, tone, and format of the book is less-than appealing. References are not written in typical Islamic format for aheedeth nor Qur’an…they write strictly of their own experiences for raising 3 girls, with only a few additional case studies [...]
