Last night, I got sad news that my old friend in my country
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi Rojiun.
Soon or later, we are going to have our turn to return to Allah.
As Muslim, we have to prepare and get ready anytime.
Then my husband asked my kids to read Al Quran with translation about surah Al Imran ayah 106-109.
"Oh the Day [some] faces will turn white and [some] faces will turn black.
"But as for those whose faces turn white,
"These are verses of Allah.
"To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens
After reading these verses above, my kids learned that we have to do good deeds in this world to prepeare for the next life. The faces of people in paradise will be white, and also handsome and beautiful.
If we are doing bad deeds in this world then
Alhamdulillah, the kids, my husband, and I always love to sit together and learn about Al Quran, sometimes we read some hadiths, too.
Insha Allah, You will do it to your kids at home.

For Islamic Studies:
Let's learn about Manner and Descriptions of Prophet Muhammad SAW.
Amr Ibn Al-Harith, a brother-in-law of the Prophet (pbuh), says that
He was always the first to greet another and would not withdraw his hand from a handshake till the other man withdrew his. If one wanted to say something in his ears, he would not turn away till one had finished.
He did not like people to get up for him and used to say, "Let him who likes people to stand up in his honour, he should seek a place in hell."
He used to visit the poorest of ailing persons and exhorted all Muslims to do likewise.
He would sit with the humblest of persons saying that righteousness alone was the criterion of one's superiority over another. He invariably invited people be they slaves, servants or the poorest believers, to partake with him of his scanty meals.
"He would then offer chaste prayers and go home and get busy with household work."
On the authority of Ali, Tirmidhi has recorded that the Prophet (pbuh) had carefully apportioned his time according to the demands on him for offering worship to Allah public affairs, and personal matters.
Some of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)'s descriptions are:
1. His Appearance

The hair of his head was long and thick with some waves in them. His forehead was large and prominent, his eyelashes were long and thick, his nose was sloping, his mouth was somewhat large and his teeth were well set. His cheeks were spare and he had a pleasant smile. His eyes were large and black with a touch of brown.
