Thank you in Islam means that, let’s stop practicing “auto pilot thanksgiving” and start expressing heartfelt thanks, to God and His Creation. It is one small way we can not only reconnect with people beyond tweets and texts, but it will also deepen our relationship with Allah.
The day after Thanksgiving every year, Americans of all backgrounds are encouraged to participate in the National Day of Listening. Encourage your kids to do the same with their friends.
What should be the most celebrated time for Muslims can sometimes be the most predictable. Change up your schedule this year to include something new, fun, and exciting to make the holiday and Eid with family memorable.
Part of a successful and happy Eid is plans for Eid ahead for how to celebrate our wonderful holiday. Here are some things to keep in mind when developing an Eid day plan to make it fun and festive.
Eid offers an excellent opportunity to share one aspect of Islam with your child's teacher and classmates at school. This is a sample letter parents can send to their child's teacher asking for permission to make a class presentation about Eid-ul-Adha.
Good communication is key when working with your child's teacher. This is why this sample letter can help when conveying the importance of getting your child a day off for the Eid-ul-Adha break. It is respectful and clearly states your child's need for time off without disrupting the class schedule.
It is often assumed that domestic violence is permissible in Islam. While it may be a problem in the Muslim community as much as it is in other faiths, it is by no means allowed in Islam.
