"Allah Always Provides For Us" - Connecting Kids To Allah's Names And Attributes.
“Allah always provides for us.”
This picture was taken today.
We got given free ice-cream by a lovely waitress, mashaAllah (we got talking as we both wondered if the other was Somali through our face masks!)
About 10 mins before that, favourite 6 year old asked me if we could have ice cream - and I said that we could on another day.
And so when the kind waitress, without hearing my son, sent complimentary ice-creams as we worked through our homeschool workbooks, we spoke and marvelled over Ar-Razzaq (well, I marvelled lol…actually, and sweet 6 year old did…heard him telling hubby that a ‘miracle’ happened when we got home lol).
We can connect children to Allah’s names and attributes and Who He is through their everyday experiences...
In the hopes that...
✨ It allows them to see the world through the lens of husn adh dhann (expecting good from Allah)...
✨ That it allows them to know that Allah is in control of it all…
✨ And that it connects them with the idea that they are deeply held by The Most High always.
✨...That life and their experiences are not random…and that the One who knows of every leaf that falls, intimately interacts with them and their lives, too.
