Self-love and blessing through Prayer

Are you finally realising the importance of self love as a mother? Have you realised you need to start filling your jug before you fill the jug of others? No matter what, self love and self care is so vital through faith and prayer. It is hope, mercy and love of Allah that will get you through the difficult days of mother hood or just life in general. So hold on to Salaah no matter what!

Here is a reminder I wrote to myself over 2 years ago when Ammarah (now 4 and a half) was 2 and a half and Hibah was only 7 months! We had only just moved to Makkah.

Thursday 19th November 2015

A few days ago, we visited Masjid al-Haram for the second time since we have arrived. We had planned to go the day before, but it rained causing floods in parts of Jeddah. So we tried for the following day. This time we wanted to pray our Isha Prayer. As we left pretty much after our Maghrib prayer, we arrived at Masjid al-Haram in 20 minutes exactly. We had a whole 40 minutes before Isha Prayer began! We drank zamzam water and sat with the Ka’bah in full view. People were happy. Some were draped in white sheets – they were performing Umrah. Others were taking family pictures, feeling proud, having accomplished something great by Allah’s permission. There were people of all nations, hands up in prayer, crying, begging for their Lord’s mercy and forgiveness – You could see it in their eyes! After a while, Ammarah and I were ready to make our tawaaf, my husband and Hibah joined us too. It was our first ever family tawaaf – may Allah accept it from us.

As the mataaf [area you walk or do tawaaf around the Ka’bah] wasn’t as busy – we moved in towards the Maqam-e-Ibrahim [the place that is marked by where Prophet Ibrahim stood when making the Ka’bah] which is quite close to the Ka’bah. From there it looks HUGE! Ammarah walked with us through 6 whole rounds mashaAllah and only as we were finishing I picked her up. She loved it! She watched the birds flying around above just like they were making tawaaf too. A kind man was handing out sticky dates to the people in the Mataaf area – he knelt down to give Ammarah one – I think she was a little confused but did recognise that it was a date and finally took it. During tawaaf, every time I looked at the Ka’bah I’m just in awe! Sometimes I don’t know what to say, what prayer to read. That’s why I’ve collated all my prayers, including those requested by friends and family in a book so I remember.

As our tawaaf ended we headed upstairs to the new temporary ring to get ready for the prayer. This was one of the first times I would be praying salaah with the Ka’bah right in front of me! Although I had come for Umrah before, it was in Ramadaan and I always prayed outside the masjid! So this was a pretty special day for me. We prayed on the first floor of the temporary tawaaf ring – it’s great for wheelchair users to make their tawaaf. [Note this ring has now been removed] We waited in our rows ready to hear the Adhan – call to prayer. My two girls were with me, whilst my husband stood with the men in front. Ammarah recognised the Adhaan immediately – I was very proud of her; it was loud even for Hibah but she listened attentively [I can tell when she does this]. Throughout my salaah Ammarah remained quiet and observant [at the Mosque in England, she would usually cry] she tried to entertain Hibah when she started wondering where her Mama was. All praises to Allah for these countless blessings. May He accept our worship, our good deeds and continue to keep us on the right path of Islam. Ameen!

For all my readers who are immersed in their life struggles and problems, I want to share one really important bit of advice with you all – Live with Salaah. It’s like the most obvious piece of advice ever as Salaah is our connection to our Lord, our Creator. But what I mean to say is REALLY live with Salaah.

I know it is so easy for me to say this right now, because I can hear the Adhaan and actual prayer from my local Masjid through my kitchen window – and I’m forever reminded to pray. But I also know how difficult this is in our busy lives in the UK or other western countries perhaps. It really is so difficult because of daylight saving, meeting deadlines, balancing the work-home life especially for the women and home-makers and I’m sure for many other reasons too. But I know we can still make this possible – and your reward is with Allah for your every effort – Make it such a habit that you cannot let go of it and see the blessings in your life increase inshaAllah!

Here are a few tips and reminders I’ve noticed since living in Makkah:

1. Our call to prayer – the Adhaan should be heard LOUD and clear – it leaves an amazing impact with children – who will constantly remind you it’s Allah time – that’s what Ammarah says every time “Come on, It’s Allah time!” So ensure you have reminders set up on your phone or at home and let yourself be reminded constantly of the call to prayer, the call to success.

2. Planning your day around Salaah – The one amazing thing about being in Saudi Arabia is – everything shuts down at prayer time – literally the shops in the malls close, the shutters come down for some! – you see all the women go to one side of the mall for their prayer room and the men the other. It’s a country that has really emphasised and facilitated for the people’s prayer. Yes this is not always possible for those who reside in non-Muslim countries for example. BUT, if we plan ahead which most of us can try at least whilst commuting or planning our days out in town or work, we can make it possible – I have lived that life so I can say so too. I have, like many of you, probably prayed in changing rooms in Next 🙂 All it requires is determination, conviction and satisfaction of blessings that increases in our life through our connection with Allah. Click here for a follow up article by Productive Muslim article/discussion that looks at ways in which to ‘Observe Salaah when you’re out and about’

3. Be around people and places that remind you of Allah – one of the most important things in life is companionship -and I’m not just referring to the other half. Having friends, family and colleagues that remind us of our Lord – whether they are of the same faith or not. Their actions and their words will remind you of Allah – their kind gestures, their good intentions, their good mannerisms. We all go through ups and downs in our level of Imaan [faith] – just don’t ever give up on the mercy and hope from Allah swt. He hears our every call – whether we live in Makkah or not! 🙂

4. Reflect in a journal about your daysand track your salaah and see the correlation of how you felt and how you reacted and how you did and how life has simply changed since you focus on your prayer. Of course there will be test no doubt, but you will be able to face all that Allah plans for you. Why did I include this 4th point. Well if you think about that is what salaah is. Conversing with your Lord by reflecting on your day. Seeking His help in the struggles in your day, asking forgiveness for snapping at your colleagues or children, filling your soul with His remembrance and knowing full well that only Allah can help you through your days no matter if you are struggling with hardship or even going through life with ease. I highly recommend the beautiful Productivity journal by Ayeina which comes complete with a salaah tracker and many pages of reflection throughout!

5. Keep up with your remembrance of Allah after prayer with the adhkaar. These are the morning and evening supplications that protect you throughout the day. Days I forget to read these, I always feel an uneasiness. More info can be found here.

Most of all, these posts are reminders for me but if you read them and benefit then alhamdulillah. May Allah bless us in all aspects of our lives and accept our good deeds, intentions and worship. Ameen!

This was lovely! I wrote a post a while ago about salat and said pretty much the same things! Subhanallah! Salat is amazing and it can be so hard to get on track but it is so worth it!

This is a lovely post 🙂 I really think sometimes we need little reminders to always turn to Allah in good times and bad times. We all have those days when we’re so down in our own life that prayer really does help calm you down. (www.spicyfusionkitchen.com)

Jazak’Allah khair for the reminder. I’ve found also to pray with someone rather than alone makes it easier. If you pray as a family, it becomes a productive and loving habit. May Allah guide us all. Ameen. Enjoy your time in Makkah.

The Hajj Game 🕋 - one of our oldest resources w The Hajj Game 🕋 - one of our oldest resources which we bring out every year. I remember writing out the questions and asking my dad about the hajj rituals (he was a Hajj tour guide for many years mashaAllah) and he thought it was such a clever way to teach the kids about hajj. 
.

.
It’s a must have game to include in your child’s learning about the 5th pillar of Islam. Check it out www.mamateachesme.com - the game printable can be bought as a pdf or it’s included in the Hajj Activity book! (Free for our members)
.

We found it best to use a ruler to tear out the pages in our activity book (large scissors ✂️ does not help all the way)

Alhamdulillah we had a lovely garden picnic with o Alhamdulillah we had a lovely garden picnic with our friends yesterday. Hibah has been asking for a picnic for ages and it was perfect inviting over our friends too to show them our new secret garden.

I was so glad the kids were up for re-potting my plants and they did such a wonderful job mA. We also included some of our fruit peels in the garden bed which is yet to be finished- but Alhamdulillah all in all a wonderful afternoon with even better company! Who doesn’t enjoy a whole day outside in nature!!?

Simple activity on finding the stages of the life cycle of a dandelion - the girls went into the garden to find the different stages. They enjoyed learning about seed dispersal and found dandelion growing in different places and we discussed how the seeds could have reached on top of a roof or the guttering. 
.
The girls had to then write the stages from the perspective of the flower which they actually enjoyed! Same activity just differentiated by supporting Hibah, whilst Ammarah worked independently.

Dinosaurs have always been a favourite of Hibah’ Dinosaurs have always been a favourite of Hibah’s and now that she enjoys reading somewhat (Alhamdulillah) she wanted to re-read her dinosaur book and from that we went into some spoken poetry and then the start of her poem which was very catchy and we all joined in! 
.
.
Hibah (who just turned 8) has been a bit of reluctant reader. Although she likes books and likes listening to stories, she just wasn’t as bothered with reading. Maths on the other hand was more her thing but as time went on, she had to read word problems or questions in order to understand the question and that’s when she was fine to read. So, for so long her journey towards reading has been one in which she navigated herself mainly because I didn’t want to put her off reading altogether, so we went at her pace. It certainly was very different to her elder sister, Ammarah’s journey. Having said that she’s picked up words faster and comprehends well. She’s full of creative ideas and never falls short in plot twists and interesting characters for her oral or written short stories! Will be sharing more on this soon. 
.
Do you have a reluctant reader at home? How do you encourage them to connect with stories or books without putting them off reading altogether? 
.
P.s if you listen to the end you can hear Nusaybah too 😃 mashaAllah

On Motherhood - Giving birth after 7 years feels On Motherhood - 

Giving birth after 7 years feels like we are new parents again, except this time a little calmer and perhaps wiser. No doubt the challenges will still be waiting for us, but we got used to being parents and are mentally prepared and accepting of life with kids and babies. For first time parents it’s a whole other ball game. There’s a lot of growing up to do - fast! Being responsible for a tiny human is a huge deal but there’s so much love and self growth to take from it. 
.
Motherhood takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions, inner battles, identity crisis and more - it challenges us in every way but Alhamdulillah with it comes tiny mini versions of ourselves - the ultimate way we are tested to continue on our journeys of being better versions of ourselves! 
.
Currently, Nusaybah is nearly 3 months old Alhamdulillah- we are adjusting to life with 3 kids. She’s curious already - the girls read to her and want to include her in everything they do when relevant. They ask if she will be homeschooled too and calculate how old they will be when she is 3 or 5 etc. 
.
For so long, I was used to just 2 girls and our family felt complete Alhamdulillah, but the girls always wondered about another sibling as they saw new additions to their extended family each year. Sometimes it’s a bit surreal that Nusaybah is here with us, a blessing from Allah in every way Alhamdulillah- I think it’s a lesson that we still can’t plan or see our life only through our lens - ultimately it will be Allah’s plans that prevail - Allahu Akbar!

After our germination experiment last week we had After our germination experiment last week we had to look at the ayats in the Quran where Allah talks about the splitting of the seed.
.
Ammarah’s extra task was to write a poem based on what we found out from the Quran. A lot of the poems on nature that we have are absolutely beautiful but we need reminding that the beauty and design of nature is all from Allah. And so we reflected on the ayat from the Quran which prompted us to ponder upon the seeds that we sow. And so she included it in her poem. 
.
We loved using the beautiful Connecting with Allah book by @zacandaslam as well. Swipe to see the prompts and poetry plan.
.
.
How often do we connect with Allah through nature? Do we remember that is Allah who decides if our seeds will grow each year? Have you had a bad harvest one year? Don’t let that stop you from growing the following year - subhanAllah our rizq is from Allah!

Sometimes you just need to have a vision and the i Sometimes you just need to have a vision and the intention and then say Bismillah. Allah facilitates Alhamdulillah. 
.
This vision for a secret garden (essentially a garden space for us to be immersed in nature contemplating and reflecting on Allah’s creation - our very own sit spot) emerged in Ramadan during the Outdoor Madrassah Course I took. Unable to trek to a park with a new born, I wanted a sit spot in the garden and attract more bees and butterflies and essentially wildlife by planting our favourite plants and flowers. Being in a city/town with concrete buildings we need the greenery and to be outdoors in nature to really ponder on Allah’s signs! 
.
I’m loving our progress so far Alhamdulillah - we’ve learnt so much along the way ourselves - it’s still@not finished it’s a work in progress and I complete reminding myself to Trust the Process in sha Allah 😃

How do you spend your time in nature? Do you have a sit spot?

Germinating Seeds 🌱 . In our homeschool this Germinating Seeds 🌱 
.

In our homeschool this past week, we’ve been looking at seeds. Finding seeds in our spice drawers and larder and looking at ayaat from the Quran about seeds. (More on that soon) 
.
The girls spotted seed dispersal outside with dandelions growing in drains 😅 and our sycamore tree sending its seeds all the way to our patio (we’ve seen sycamore seedlings 🌱 in our patio pots as we were weeding) To see the process of splitting seeds, we’ve been doing this germinating experiment. Swipe to see the differentiated experiment write up.
.

Do you germinate seeds on paper towels before you plant in soil or do you plant straight into soil? This year we’ve been enjoying experimenting with both methods!

What started as a test for the family of Ibrahim ( What started as a test for the family of Ibrahim (as) in the early lands of Makkah has now become the lands to which our Ummah flocks to. It’s the land in which the final messenger (pbuh) was born, where Islam was established, the Kabah built which became our qiblah and where the annual Hajj takes place Alhamdulillah.
.
The dua of Ibrahim (as) is a testament of his foresight for his later generations and belief in Allah to change the condition of the very barren land he left his family in as a test from his Lord - subhanAllah!

Towards the end of my pregnancy this year, I was i Towards the end of my pregnancy this year, I was in full on nesting mode. We did a thorough clean when we got back to England of our cupboards and room and got rid of a lot of unnecessary junk! Cleaning videos are great inspiration to get you motivated if you need it. 
.
The kitchen cupboards also needed work and were completely disorganised with spices taking over the larder! So nesting mode continued after baby Nusaybah was born. I finally decided to tackle that larder full of spices- in fact I decided to move all the spices to a whole new location (into its own pull out drawer under the hob) and kept the dolmio and pasta bottles we recycled and instead just designed some stickers to cover up and organise the jars. 
.
It’s really transformed my cooking experience and time spent in the kitchen just because it’s all in an easy to reach location and organised! There’s a few more areas to sort still but Alhamdulillah happy with the progress so far!

Have you been spring cleaning too?  Swipe to see more from our kitchen organisation. Would you like these stickers to be available in our shop?
