Our Ramadan Basket 2019

The run up to Ramadan for us has been one of connection with family and the stories of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). We were blessed to have my father and sister’s family join us for over a week on their Umrah trip, and were able to join my father giving us a full tour of Makkah and Medina alhamdulillah.

During that time, I was thrilled to have been asked by Janine from the Gentle Art of Schooling to join herself and other lovely Mama bloggers to collaborate in sharing our Ramadan Baskets for this year. Whilst I’ve always set up a display and activities, I was excited at the thought of having a basket of books and activities the kids would be choosing from throughout Ramadan to allow for a more child led approach to our homeschool this year. Apart from a few new Islamic Book purchases, we are completely reusing many of our Ramadan resources from last year. I was glad I stored them away neatly into a folder, in fact when the girls saw all that we did, they pushed me to get started with setting up our Ramadan Decor!

When I asked the girls what we should do this Ramadan, they themselves reminded me of the Islamic Studies projects we are currently doing and how we haven’t finished them. In other words that’s what they wanted to continue with. So let me know take you through what’s in our Ramadan basket and the projects we will be doing completely at our own pace with no attempts to complete anything through the month of Ramadan at all. In fact we will be continuing with our much loved projects that we focused on in this month prior to Ramadan.

 

What’s in our Ramadan Basket?

 

Islamic Studies Projects

Our 3 ongoing projects include Stories of the Prophets, the 99 names of Allah Project (click here for more) and our NEW Seerah of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) project. All 3 of these are BIG projects so we are continuing them slowly throughout our homeschool and the girls want to focus on them some more this Ramadan. More on our Islamic Studies Projects can be found here.

Ramadan Moon

Using Naima B Robert’s lovely book we will be starting off Ramadan sighting the moon and doing our much loved OREO phases of the moon activity – last year we also tracked the phases of the moon throughout the month.

 

Ramadan Around the World

Last Ramadan we used this book and created some fabulous posters that we will be reflecting on this year. We loved that we were able to connect with many Muslims across the globe!

My first Ramadan

Now that my children are growing in their learning some of our previous bought books like this one will be much loved this year.

 

Giving Iftaar and feeding others 

I purchased some new books to add to our Islamic Book collection including Who will help me with Iftaar and The Secret Recipe Book. These books will be great to encourage my daughters to help in the kitchen and add some recipes to their new recipe books – which they have recently taken an interest to.

 

Tarawih – Keep busy activities

My first Quran with pictures By Shereen Sharief is a favourite here and now that we have the colouring books too, it’ll make memorising our surahs even more fun! These will be perfect to take along to the masjid along with some colours at Tarawih Time.

 

 

Mindfulness this Ramadan

This Ramadan we want to bring in mindfulness  through some books we have, the fabulous cards we downloaded from Mini Mindful Muslims, and by slowly introducing the concept of Hadith – now that my girls have become somewhat familiar with the life of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). I will introduce Hadith as what the Prophet did and told us we should do as Muslims. We are hoping to become more aware of gratitude towards Allah by means of making dua and giving to others.

3D Model of Al Aqsa Compound #diy #craft With Pa 3D Model of Al Aqsa Compound #diy #craft 

With Palestine still on our minds and in our prayers, here’s something we’ve been working on with the kids last month - it took a few weeks to get through as we had some pauses in between. It led to a lot of discussion on the first Qibla, learning when the dome of the rock was built and so much more. It certainly was a labour of love and hard work which we look forward to sharing with our homeed community in our upcoming Project Showcase iA. 

SAVE and SHARE to benefit and encourage others! 

Oh how we pray for a liberated Palestine in sha Allah so we can all visit the 3rd Holiest Masjid in Islam and our first Qiblah! May Allah send his mercy and justice to Palestine 🇵🇸 Ameen

I covered a similar lesson with my girls on key phrases such as Naqba, Apartheid and Seige to get a better understanding of what’s happening in Palestine - this is your cue to start educating yourself.

I’ll be sharing some books for adults soon but do check out the hashtag #readpalestine for more.

Our final session on our Al Quds - The Holy Land U Our final session on our Al Quds - The Holy Land Unit Study, we looked into the beautiful cities and towns of Palestine 🇵🇸 through this wonderful book We are Palestinian by @reem.kassis - go buy it and support Palestinian Authors! 

We pray you are enjoying or have enjoyed the unit study as much as we did - remember this was just the start- you might find you want to research an area some more: read more on Recent Palestinian History or during the time of the Prophets or maybe even the time of Salahuddin Ayubi and the Crusaders. 

Remember this is a history that’s trying to be erased or distorted so take it upon yourself to read and educate yourself so you can teach your own children too! 

Where do you go next from here? What aspect of the history of Al Quds will you teach next? We’ve started reading Elizabeth Liard’s A Little Piece of Ground in our English study (more on that soon iA)

JzkAllah khayr to all those who supported and purchased this unit study - 100% profits will be donated to @humanappeal for Palestine 🇵🇸 May Allah accept it from us and May Allah bring peace and liberate Palestine once more! Ameen

Session 7 - the girls learnt all about Palestinian Session 7 - the girls learnt all about Palestinian Resistance. Despite the unfortunate history of Palestine, Allah has made them one of the bravest and resilient of people. We spoke about the symbols of resistance such as the watermelon 🍉- the girls thought it was clever of the Palestinians to hold the watermelon (as it has the same colours as their flag) when they weren’t allowed to wave their flag 🇵🇸 

In this session the girls created posters and flags to support the Palestinians and of course because they too stand with Palestine 🇵🇸 🍉

In this session we went back to @muslimchildrensbo In this session we went back to @muslimchildrensbooks Eliyas Explains What’s going on in Palestine 🇵🇸 and this time focussed in on many of the new vocabulary that was introduced including: The Nakba, Apartheid, illegal occupation, settlers, siege and more. We had lots of discussion as each word was defined with some dictionary work. I’ve also included a matching definitions to word activity here for ease.

I don’t think the world will ever be the same ag I don’t think the world will ever be the same again - the Palestinians have woken us up from our first world problems. The blatant ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Palestinians has to stop! These children like mine and yours deserve a happy, loving and safe childhood. 

I have faith in Allah. His plan is far greater. 
May Allah grant the Muslims Victory Ameen

Our 3rd timeline of the History of Al Aqsa covers Our 3rd timeline of the History of Al Aqsa covers the time of the Crusades up until present day. The theme throughout was so much bloodshed and turmoil sadly. We weaved in the dates for WW1 and 2 and of course when Isr*el established itself as a state in 1948 on the land of Palestine 🇵🇸 

We’ve included a map of Palestine during the British Mandate period showing the districts of Palestine. For younger children (ages 8) you could also bring in our free Map of Palestine resource highlighting the differences.
