Qisat ashab-ul-kahf

Maha gave me this idea of telling Nusayba stories from the Qur'an and specifically reciting some verses as I narrate the story. About five days ago Nusayba asked me to tell her "qisa min al-Qur'an" (a story from the Qur'an) so we sat down and I tried to narrate the story of "ashab-ul-kahf" (the people of the cave). Today, Friday, Allaedin took the girls out in the car and was reciting surat-ul-kahf. He said that when he got to certain verses Nusayba wouldn't let him continue and kept shouting "qisat ashab-ul-kahf, qisat ashab-ul-kahf!" over and over.

Masha'Allah, her ability to retain information never ceases to amaze me.

The ultrasound





Alhamdulillah I had my ultrasound a few weeks ago and we decided to find out the gender of the baby this time. I'll let Nusayba tell you what we're expecting inshaa Allah...



We didn't open the topic of names in front of her once!
