  1. What a great idea! Every family and individual should set these goals for themselves :) Print it out and put it up where you will see it every day to remind yourselves!! Or print out the rewards and implications for missing/observing salah and put it on the fridge to always remind yourselves of why it's important :)

    ps- who is the cutie patootie in the pic? ;) masha'Allah.

  2. Thank you! :) This was just something I thought would help our family bring more religion to the dinner table each night and make things like Dua Khumail easy to access. And MashAllah, so far it has worked! We can look at the blog each day to see what is coming up and use the links to read about the prophets and imams as they approach.
    p.s. The cutie is my daughter Aaliyah (this was a day at school last year when she just felt like wearing the hijab...)
    p.p.s. Love your blogs! I have really enjoyed reading through and looking at things from your perspective. We have much in common based on what I see. It is so nice to know another like minded person is out there :D
