What We're Doing for Literature

I saw the Invincible Abdullah series some time ago and made a mental note.

In an age where Harry Potter and Chronicles of Narnia are mentioned on nearly every secular homeschool blog, I desired a series of books that we Muslims could enjoy for our children and ourselves. I don't know if this is it, after all, we haven't read them yet, but if it's good, InshaALLAH, I'll let you know. The series is four paperbacks with corresponding workbooks, purchased separately. I got mine from Islamic Bookstore, (this isn't a paid advertisement by the way - it was cheaper for me since I'm in Canada). Read More...

Different Methods, Same Goal

We're trying different methods to learn the multiplication tables. My daughter can fill out the chart but she's slow about it. I'm hoping that rote memorization helps her speed up her mind when I drill her, InshaALLAH.

Problems for Muslim Immigrants in USA

Those who migrate from their own land to any other part of the world, whether it is a developed country or poor nation, they definitely face some problems. These problems occur due to the change in food, religion, language and other values of the residents of the area. Because every part of the world has its own way of living and others cannot easily accept it.

USA is country where people of every religion, cast and ethnicity live; they all came from different regions of the world. Muslims have got decent population in USA but still they face many problems. One of the main problems they face is to learn Quran and get other islamic education material.

Few years back there was no well-known Islamic School in USA. Muslim families were not able to teach their children Quran Recitation and translation. With the passage of time Muslims of the USA developed themselves.

One of the Muslim families in USA launched online Quran Recitation teaching School in 2005 and hired trained Quran tutors who teach online Quran Recitation to the children in USA. Today after three years they have become the worlds the first, the best and the largest Online Qur'an Academy. This school has taught more than 5000 kids and parents to Read Qur'an with Tajweed.
