-Seerah-

Ka'ab ibn Malik would go into the market and people would ignore him. When Ka'ab prayed, Rasulullah SAW would look at him and when Ka'ab looked at Rasulullah SAW, Rasulullah SAW would look away. When Rasulullah SAW was happy, his face would beam like the moon. Sometime in your life, doors will open for you to do good.

Abu Dharr was a very strict man. He was a companion of Rasulullah SAW. Abu Dharr died alone.
Abdur-rahman bin Auf was leading a prayer, and Rasulullah SAW came while they were still praying. Abdur-rahman wanted to leave the prayer so Muhammad SAW could be the Imam, but Muhammad SAW prayed behind Abdur-Rahman. Abdur-Rahman bin Auf was the only Sahabi that Muhammad prayed behind. This was very good for Abdur-Rahman.

Seerah - Battle of Tabuk

No Mushrik is allowed at Masjid ul-Haram (Makkah). If you have trust in Allah, He will protect you. If you have taqwa and believe in Allah, He will provide you with rizq that you never expected. Fight those who don't believe in Allah and the Last Day. The battle of Tabuk was the last battle that Rasulullah SAW fought before he died.

Seerah

The Muslims saw a tree that the Mushriks hung their swords on. The Mushriks thought doing that would give them blessings. The Muslims asked Rasulullah SAW if they could have a tree like that too.
Allah promises us ease after difficulty.
Angels are soldiers of Allah.
May Allah put peace and tranquility on Rasulullah SAW and his followers.
someone was going to strike a muslim. A man saw and came behind him and hit him. then he squeezed him and he felt death.

Albuquerque and Balloon Fiesta

Yesterday, which was my birthday, I came back from Albuquerque. The yearly Balloon Fiesta was yesterday! We watched hot air balloons fly in the air. There was bad traffic while we were trying to get there. We had to pray Fajr in the van. We ate cheese bread sticks. At 6am about, we saw the balloons released already. We counted eleven. The weather was awfully cold. When we finally got to the parking space, we opened the van door, and cold air blew in. My feet felt dead. Especially since I wasn't wearing socks. Anyhow, we watched balloons blow up and get in the air. Some balloons looked like bees. There was a clown balloon and a haunted house balloon that couldn't get up, and they fell down. After that we went to the fair and played some games. H and I threw darts at balloons, but we only popped one. H and Z got dog toys. No, not dog toys, dog soft toys. Well, it was kind of a mix-up between a kangaroo and a dog, because it had a short tail and big ears. So it was probably a Chihuahua. We went to the Balloon Museum and explored the boringness of air and flight and whatsoever. Then, when we were about to leave, we decided to go to the gift shop. Our dad gave us twenty dollars each. I bought a pendant.
After that we went to the masjid and Yasmine's Cafe.
Then we went to the Talin Chinese store and got JELLY!!!

Picnic!

On Saturday the masjid held a picnic at the park. There was a jumping balloon. One looked like a dog and one looked like Spongebob. There was chicken, salad, donuts, cupcakes, and lots of other yum-headed things. I rollerbladed with Skina and our friends. There was ice cream. I had an ice cream sandwich and a popsicle. I was quite sweaty. But it was fun and we left at about 5 o clock.

Islamic History

Abdullah bin Masud’s legs were skinny. The sahaba laughed at them. Muhammad said, “Why are you laughing at his legs? They are going to be very heavy on the scale on the Day of Judgement.” I don’t see what’s so funny about skinny legs. It’s better than having big fat legs.
Abu Sufyan was going to become a Muslim. He said, “Ash hadu an La ilaha illa Allah.” Muhammad said, “Say that I am the Messenger of Allah.” Abu Sufyan said, “There is something in my heart that is stopping me to do so.” Someone said, “Abu Sufyan, say it before you get persecuted.” So Abu Sufyan said it.

Islamic History

Abu Sufyan went to the house of his daughter Umm Habibah. Abu Sufyan saw a rug on the floor and was going to sit on it, but Umm Habibah pulled it away and rolled it up. Abu Sufyan said, "I don't know if that rug is not fit for me, or if I'm not fit for that rug." She said, "This rug belongs to Rasulullah SAW and you are a dirty mushrik!"

Blackouts and BM's

Last night there was a rainstorm, a bad one, so bad it gave us a blackout. Before the blackout though, we were eating dinner. Thunder rolled...and then at a point when we were eating calmly, CREACKKK!!! The lightning and thunder cracked so loud that Skina's eyes widened, and H put his head down but looked up. I made a face at them that said, Are you scared? Very funny.

And today my brother Z pooped in his underwear, a very stinky moment.

Today H made donuts and my mom made cream puffs! Yumm!

Friday and Saturday Plans

This Friday we're going to the masjid for a bake sale provided by a Muslim Girls' Club. (For more info about the club, please go to muslimaatrus.blogspot.com.) H is selling at the men's side, and Skina, I, and some other people are selling at the womens' side. The proceeds go to Muslims Without Borders or Islamic Relief.
My mom's friend is going to have a baby, so we're planning a baby surprise for her. We're making...a DIAPER cake. *Gag* Some girls are coming to our house to make it. But at the masjid there's also a picnic...sadly I can't go because of the girly diaper cake.
So today my mom is making pandan chiffon cake. I think she's making a red one too, with sirap. And on Monday and Tuesday, she made Chocolate Lemon Biscotti. H is making donuts and malawah.
Skina made a banner for the men's table, I made one for the women's.
Might put pictures up.
