Muslim Home School in America: Geography

"It is He who has created for you (the faculties) of hearing, sight, feeling and understanding: little thanks you give."
(Al Qur'an, surah Al Mu'minun 23: 78)
==========

Seven Wonders

A group of Geography students studied The Seven Wonders of the World.

At the end of that session, the students were asked to list what they think were considered to be the present Seven Wonders of the World.

Though there was some disagreement, the following got the most votes:

1) Egypt's Great Pyramids or Pyramids Cam Live
2) The Taj Mahal, India or Great Building: Taj Mahal
3) Grand Canyon or National Park: Grand Canyon
4) The Panama Canal
5) Empire State Building
6) St. Peter's Basilica, Roma
7) China's Great Wall or Discovering the Great Wall of China

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student, a quiet girl, hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list.

The quiet girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many."

The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help."

The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:

1) to touch
2) to taste
3) to see
4) to hear

She hesitated a little more, and then

5) to feel
6) to laugh
7) and to love

Then there was the room so full of silence it was deafening! It is far too easy for us to look at the exploits of man and refer to them as "wonders" while we overlook all the Almighty has done for us, regarding them as merely "ordinary".

May we be reminded today of those things which are truly wonderous that the GENEROUS CREATOR has given; that we take for granted !

Let's teach our kids to say thank and praise to Allah in any situation, any time, any place.... Alhamdulillah.

I remembered Khutbah on Jumuah prayer, It was about Jannah/Paradise.
Muslim can not go to paradise because of his/her good deed only. Muslim need mercy from Allah to go to paradise.

Some of the mercy that we get such as,

we can do our pray five times a day.
we can memorize the surah in Al Quran.
we can give charity to needy and orphan.
we can build the masjid, school, hospital.
we can go to hajj.
we can do all good deeds that Allah commands and Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

May Allah give us mercy all the time.
Ameen. Ameen. Ameen.

Learn about Manner and Descriptions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

“O you who have believed, fear ALlah and be with those who are true.”

(Al Quran 9:119).

=====================

Last night, I got sad news that my old friend in my country

passed a way last month.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi Rojiun.
Soon or later, we are going to have our turn to return to Allah.

Nobody know when the angel death is coming to us. Every minutes there is always people passed a way.
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.

As for those whose faces turn black, [to them it will said],

"Did you disbelieve [i.e.' reject faith] after your belief?

Then taste the punishment for what you used to reject."

(Al Quran 3:106)

"But as for those whose faces turn white,

[they will be] within the mercy of Allah.

They will abide therein eternally."

(Al Quran 3:107)

"These are verses of Allah.

We recite them to you, [O Muhammad]' in truth;

and Allah wants no injustice to the worlds [i.e.' His crreatures]."

(Al Quran 3:108)

"To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens

and whatever is on the earth.

And to Allah will [all matters be returned]."

(Al Quran 3:109)

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

our faces will be black which will be burned by fire.

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.

May Allah always bless us and guide us in the right path. Ameen.
=============================

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

when the Prophet died, he did not leave a cent, a slave man or woman, or any property except his white mule, his weapons and a piece of land which he had dedicated for the good of the community.

[Sahih Bukhari]

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.

[Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi]

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."

[Abu Dawud]

He used to visit the poorest of ailing persons and exhorted all Muslims to do likewise.

[Sahih Bukhari]

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.

[Tirmidhi]

"He would then offer chaste prayers and go home and get busy with household work."

(Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmizi)

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
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was of a height a little above the average. He was of sturdy build with long muscular limbs and tapering fingers. 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.
2. His dress generally consisted of a shirt, tamad (trousers), a sheet thrown round the shoulders and a turban.
3. His house was but a hut with walls of unbaked clay and a thatched roof of palm leaves covered by camel skin.
4. His a pillow stuffed with palm leaves.
5. His blanket had several patches.
6. His character was:
- gentle,
- charming,
- kind-hearted,
- politeness,
- courtesy,
- compassion,
- tenderness,
- simplicity,
- humility,
- sympathy,
- and sincerity.
His manner was perfect.
7. He was especially fond of children. He would pick up children in his arms, play with them, and kiss them.
8. He preached to the people to trust in Allah (SWT).
9. The Prophet (pbuh) asked people to be just and kind.
10. He mixed with everyone on equal term. He ate with slaves, servants and the poorest on the same sheet.
11. He showed kindness to each other and to all living souls.
12. He treated the poor kindly and to help them with alms, Zakat, and in other ways.

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was the perfect human in this world.
We are not perfect but we should always trying to be perfect as best as we could.

The Benefits of Prayer

Learn about sholat and the benefits of it.

"O you who believe!
Seek help in patience and prayer.
Truly! Allah is with the patient."
[surah al Baqarah; 2:153-154]

And I created not the Jinn and mankind

except that they should worship Me"
[51: 56]

"Verily, the prayer keeps one
from the great sins and evil deeds"
[al Ankabut 45]
=============

18 Benefits of Prayers:

1. Prayer is something that causes one to receive sustenance.

2. It is something that safeguards one's physical health.

3. It keeps away harmful things.

4. It casts away illnesses.

5. It strengthens the heart.

6. It brightens one's countenance.

7. It delights the soul.

8. It gets rid of laziness.

9. It makes the limbs active.

10.It increases one's physical strength.

11.It expands the chest (making one at ease and giving him insight).

12.It is nourishment for the soul.

13.It illuminates the heart.

14.It safeguards one's blessings.

15.It repels catastrophes.

16.It brings on blessings.

17.It keeps away the Shaytaan (the Devil).

18.It draws one close to Ar-Rahmaan (Allaah, the Most Merciful).

And overall it has an amazing effect on the health of the body and heart, and in strengthening them and expelling harmful pollutants from them. No two people have been afflicted with any disability, disease, or other calamity, except that the portion of the one who prays is less and his outcome is cleaner.

Also, prayer has an amazing effect on the evils of the dunyaa (the worldly life) and how it repels them, especially when the prayer is performed properly and completely, inwardly and outwardly. Nothing keeps the evils of the dunyaa at bay and brings on the benefits of it like prayer.

The reason behind this is that prayer is one's connection to Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic.

The Blessings of Muharram and The Story of one of Famous Muslim Women

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“The best fasting after the month of Ramadaan
is fasting in the month of Muharram.”
(Narrated by Muslim)

=============

What is the significance of this month, Muharram?

Allah says: "The number of months to Allah are twelve………….of them four
are sacred, that is the right usage. So wrong not your self there
in…(Qur'an 9:36)

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) referred to these four sacred months as:
Zil-Qadah, Zil-Hijja, Muharram, and Rabi-al-awwal.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was asked which fasting is best after the
month of Ramadan. Prophet (pbuh) said: "Fasting in the month that
Allah call as the sacred one".

In Muharram, on the 10th, i,e. the day of Aashura, fasting is highly
recommended because:

On this day, Allah saved children of Israel and Prophet Mousa (pbuh)
from the persecution of Pharoah. Therefore to honour Allah's favor,
Prophet Mousa (pbuh) and children of Israel fasted on 10th day of
Muharram (and regarded as the day of Aashura).

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) fasted on this day of Ashura, every year,
before becoming Prophet and continued this day of fasting after
becoming Prophet as if it was obligatory until the fast in the month
of Ramadan was made obligatory. Prophet (pbuh) then declared this
fasting of Aashura as optional fast but continued to observe this
every year.

Prophet (pbuh) said:...."fasting on the day of Aashura (the 10th of Muharram) gives forgiveness of one past year"

May Allah help us and guide us to do fasting.
Ameen.

What are meteor showers?

An increase in the number of meteors at a particular time of year is called a meteor shower.

Comets shed the debris that becomes most meteor showers. As comets orbit the Sun, they shed an icy, dusty debris stream along the comet's orbit. If Earth travels through this stream, we will see a meteor shower. Depending on where Earth and the stream meet, meteors appear to fall from a particular place in the sky, maybe within the neighborhood of a constellation.

Meteor showers are named by the constellation from which meteors appear to fall, a spot in the sky astronomers call the radiant.

Insha Allah, there will be meteor shower according to the International Meteor Organization, maximum activity this year is expected on Friday 1:40 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. ( Must see Meteor Shower)

Jokes of the week:

Reluctantly, a mother agreed to let her son move into the basement so he could have his own room. Soon she realized one advantage of this. Instead of yelling for him to come to breakfast, she would flip the light switch, and he would come running to breakfast.

One morning the mother flicked the switch, but her son did not promptly appear. She flicked the light on and off several times. Finally the son shouted, "I'm on my way. You didn't have to yell."

Have Happy Homeschooling Day to all of you.

I have four kids. I started homeschooling when I was having the fourth baby. Alhamdulillah, our homeschooling is going fine.

My friends said "You are looking for trouble." They thought that homeschooling is lot of works with kids at home.
I only gave them big smile. If I answered it, it's not going to change their opinion about homeschooling.

My kids learn the country of Yemen for this week.

This is all about Yemen.
