Energised

We were able to kick off one event and one idea recently, both that were in our minds for a few months. now.

One was to organise a talk describing the doa's and practices a Muslim usually undertakes during pregnancy and after birth of a newborn. When Zayed was born, we were quite blur on the necessary prayers to recite for a smooth delivery and for good children, amongst many other things. We invited our Al-Qur'an Ustaz, Zulkiflee Bachik, to do the talk as he was very knowledgeable of the Qur'an. It's happening on 30 June, so if you're interested, come to www.shajr.sg and register.

The other idea stemmed from my interest in teaching Zayed (and eventually Talha) Arabic and some basic knowledge of the tenets of Islam. I asked Yasmin if she could draw up a nice curriculum for him, using her pre-school/child development skills and expertise. We thought about it some more as asked ourselves why not we make it a bigger class of about 8 kids and have a small Muslim playgroup? Seemed like a fine idea and initial checks revealed a lot of interest in such a group. Looking forward to making the idea a reality...
