Ramadan crafts (continued)

Bismillah

Assalamu alaykum,

Ramadan's gone and the month of Shawwal is passing by already. Belated Eid al-Fitr mubarak, inshaAllah everyone had a good celebration..


We could not do much this Ramadan. Bi ithnillah I'll make more preparations for the next year. However, Yusuf learned few things. He was pretending to fast and broke his fast with me or his dad in the nearby masjid. We were invited for iftars, so he learned that we share food with others and invite people for iftar during Ramadan. We read his Ramadan book several times.

My lovely niece was visiting us on her school holidays, she and Yusuf made Ramadan lanterns and paper chains. She came up with few brilliant ideas, together they drew shapes, scribbled and wrote on the paper and made lanterns out of that paper. I also made Yusuf draw with paint and he played with different colors. We made a flower out of those colored papers. I made few more decorations using the tutorials found on the internet. Here is how our wall looked like:

Ramadan mubarak!!

Bismillah

Assalamu alaykum,

Alhamdulillah we are witnessing another Ramadan, all Praise and Thanks is for Allah swt. May Allah bless us all during Ramadan and throughout the year with His forgiveness, mercy and bring us all closer to Him. May Allah accept our fasting and ibadah and guide us all to the Straight Path. 
















This piece of advice is from Yasmin Mogahed's FB:

As we enter this blessed month of mercy, I give this advice to myself first, and then to you:
Don’t let this Ramadan be just a holiday of rituals. Don’t finish reading the Quran without it transforming you. Don’t feed your body at suhoor, but starve your heart of Qiyam. Don’t reduce this downpour of mercy to just a month of sweets and lavish iftars. Seek Him, you will find. Take a sincere step towards change, transformation, redemption. If you do, you will find Him in front of you. Find Him this month. He’s been there all along. Closer than your jugular vein. Look and you’ll find. Walk and you’ll arrive.
