Alhamdulillah, we just got back from an awesome two-week holiday at my parent's place. From there we got to travel a bit and visit my aunt who lives in a village close by. It was wonderful to take a break from city life and experience the beauty of nature in a rural environment. The kids had a blast, from playing in the front yard, visiting the beach, making sand castles, playing with animals, and running around all day. The holiday reminded me of the importance of family holidays. Even if it isn't possible to travel someplace far, taking a short break and doing something different as a family is such an enriching experience, SubhanAllah. This was a long over due holiday for us but we are so grateful for it. We have returned refreshed, energized and bursting with enthusiam.
I was able to conduct a 'Pillars of Islam' session for about 14 kids while I was at my parent's place. And, alhamdulillah it was a success! I can say that with certainty because at the end of the class the kids told me how much they enjoyed it and a couple of them requested that I come back soon for more such sessions. Makes it all worthwhile when I see kids enjoying learning about Islam. ALHAMDULILLAH! May Allah give me the courage and capability to continue with even better work.
At the end of the class we did a Pillars of Islam colouring sheet which I modified from Umm Abdul Basir's Creative Corner blog's awesome Pillars of Islam folder game. Here is one of the finished colouring sheet.
