Toronto, Canada 2013/2014

Our trip this year to Canada was less of sight-seeing trip and more of being in the company of people of Noor (Light).  From our Beloved Hosts to the Scholars to our Special Friends, May the Allah bless and preserve them all. We did not stay in a hotel, we stayed in the humble home of a friend in Mississauga.

The way up to Toronto was smooth sailing. The snow on the ground didn't stop us, it made our yearning to Remember our Lord even stronger. We took a rest break for prayer and play.

We were not going to go to Reviving Islamic Spirit Conference this year as we just went last year. However, we were given an offer we couldn't refuse. And truly some of the best moments in Toronto was spent with our host. The Snow Fight!

The Name and The Named- 1st 12

I have taken another book "The Name and the Named" and made it kid-friendly. I love the applications in this book, and I wanted us to not just learn the beautiful Names of Allah, but to reflect on them. MashaAllah, this Fons Vitae Book gives practical application on how to do just that.

Grateful Tree ♥

I am grateful for so many things in my life. My Beloved family is one of the most important. However, it was funny that most of the things on my list surrounded food and the BEACH... Am I that linear? All I need is my family, good food, and the Ocean to be happy. . . God, of course, is número Uno in my life, but Alhumdulilah He is everywhere and is beyond everything.

What are the things you are grateful for and do those things make happy? Beautiful Free Printable to write it down with two versions: either a verse from the Quran or the Bible. ♥

  

We used these wonderful watercolor pencils to create our art.
