The Direction of this Blog from Here on Out!


Initially I wanted this blog to be about my life and random everyday happenings, alhumduliah and cooking. My intention Insha Allah is to continue doing post on my life and cooking. along with home schooling, summer break and Ramadan Insha Allah. So this is what I'll be posting on more home school and Ramadan . Also in case you’re wondering why I haven’t done a “What’s for Dinner “ post in a while, I’m still cooking and trying out different recipes on my family which I will share with you all later Insha Allah.

Again thanks for reading .

Photos From Mali My Husband's Country

I always tell my husband that his family reminds me of the African family in that movie coming to America. He always say I remind him of people who come from the village lol because I moved here from Iowa/Wisconsin I am not a big city girl at all and I didn't have a cell phone didn't see a need or want for it of course now I do Kids older emergencies etc. I was still using dial up lol all kinds of things would make him say honey your from the village as if im behind on time. He sometimes says oh honey I had to rescue you from that Village lol. His family is just like the coming to American family except they are muslim alhumduliah, we watched the movie together one time and for you all who seen it was it a funny movie or not ? It was funny to me, well we watched it and he didn't think it was funny at all not even the chicken bone in the collection bowl part lol . So here are a few pic from my husbands country Mali Ba lol Big Mali.

Some Hadiths to Think About in this Time of HOT Weather


Hadiths from Sahih MuslimBook 4, Number 1284:
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: When it is a hot day, (delay) the prayer till the extreme heat passes away, for the intensity of heat is from the exhalation of Hell.
Book 4, Number 1287:
Abu Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: This heat is from the exhalation of Hell-fire, so delay the prayer till it is cool.
Book 4, Number 1289:
Abu Dharr reported: The Mu'adhdbin (the announcer of the hour of prayer) of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) called for the noon prayer. Upon this the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Let it cool down, let it cool down, or he said: Wait, wait for the intensity of heat is from the exhalation of Hell. When the heat is intense, delay the prayer till it becomes cooler. Abu Dharr said: (We waited) till we saw the shadow of the mounds.



Book 4, Number 1290:
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: The Fire made a complaint before the Lord saying. "O Lord, some parts of mine have consumed the others." So it was allowed to take two exhalations, one exhalation in winter and the other exhalation in summer. That is why you find extreme heat (in summer) and extreme cold (in winter).
