InshaAllah our next session will be on August 20! We’ll continue our discussion on Children around the Prophet (s) and how we can learn more from him (s) about fatherhood.

Inviting all dads and dads to be and we look forward to seeing you there InshaAllah!

I remember taking this picture on a vacation where I was running from pain. This vacation was my crutch and I used it to avoid the toils and worries I had at home.

Travel and vacations can be great for breaking up the routine of life and for a moment to relax. But if they’re used to avoid difficult aspects of life, they may cause more harm in the long run. Give vacations their proper place, but remember to deal properly with the darker moments in your life.

As Texas keeps heating up, I remind myself of cooler times. Alhamdulillah for the fact that this heat will change, this season will change, and we will, InshaAllah, have better weather to look forward to.

Similarly, change will happen in our lives as well. Without minimizing one’s experience or comparing, the mantra “This too shall pass” can be a great reminder about the ebb and flow of this life and how both good and bad times will not last. Focusing on what we can control during these times can help with the inevitability of change.
