Keep The Children Healthy during Ramadan

Shaum/Sawm is one of The Five Pillars of Islam. Ramadan (a complete fasting), we do the fast for about 29 or 30 days in a row. It is the Holy Month for Muslims. Those twelve years old and above must complete their fast from dawn to sunset. I've started to teach my child to fast from the last two years when he was 6 years old, even he's just done his first fast for only a couple hours, at least he tried. There are many even as young as four or five are encouraged to fast for a few hours a day during Ramadan by their parents. It's to begin appreciating the significance of the Holy month of Ramadan. Alhamdulillah , I'm very grateful, this Ramadan my son now is 8 years old and so excited about following Ramadan completely.

The Music-Obsessed Kid in Me Finally Got Her Wish

My earliest memories are steeped in music, all thanks to my mom. Actually she's a classical guitar player, and I can still picture her when her fingers dancing on the fret-board. She was the first person to teach me how to play guitar when I was just in elementary school. There's something beautiful and pure about the way she plays. As I grew older, my fascination with music just expended. I was itching to learn more! I remember practically begging my parents for classical music lessons especially the violin and the piano. Unfortunately, life had other plans, We had just moved into a new house, and our savings were dedicated to school and settling in, so lessons just weren’t in the budget at that time. Honestly, though, it was fine. When I was in junior high, my dad surprised me with a keyboard. I dove right into learning it, and I've loved having it.
