March 1’2020; Ending the first day of the third month of the year with so much to be grateful for. Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah ‘ala kulli hal! Thank you Allah for everything. For another day to live, repent, do good and make memories with my beloveds. For allowing me the chance to witness a few “firsts” for my daughter. For loving my children and for them to love me. Today was one of the days I brought the children to the playground. (Note that this doesn’t haooen very frequently cause sis has her own fears i.e.how my children would be like with other kids? Or will they cooperate and share?) So, Auliya would normally just roam around and touch this and that. But today, seeing how her brother went down the slide, she took up the courage to do it too! MashaAllah! Very brave of her for doing it on her own. At her own virgin experience! Loved how she explored things beyond her comfort zone. 😍Like as though she has this inner spirit telling her “If other’s (doesn’t matter how much older they are *babang is a year plus older*) can do it, so CAN YOU!!!” 😳 It was also her first time on the swing just now. This girl really caught me off guard with her bravery and fearlessness! SubhanAllah! 🤩 My boys too are not left out in making my heart swell with pride. Aiman showed me how he would read Alif Ba Ta Tsa Jim Ha Kho to every Arabic sentence he sees anywhere! Hehe. Today, Aden being the helpful boy, handled his little siblings so well. He didn’t have a “meltdown” himself when i kept asking him to do this and that. He has matured quite a bit! MashaAllah. 🥰 Safeguard my children at all times, Ya Rabb. Keep them to the right paths and do not deviate them astray to the paths of those who earn your anger. Let them love each other unconditionally forever. Ameen Ya Rabbal Alamin. 🤲🏽 #madenmateen #maimanmuqri #nurulauliyamedina https://www.instagram.com/p/B9MlxjPBeb0mrsAEwD6sfLTlffTNssv64G16uI0/?igshid=1r8qqnkc484tg

February 12’19; If ever the three of you fight and go against each other in the future, I shall show this photo to you guys. When your hearts are filled with so much anger and hatred for each other for whatever reason, istighfar and look at this photo, okay. Abang Aden and Babang Aiman always showering Adik Princess Auliya with loving touch and kisses. At this point in time, Auliya just passed two month mark, Aiman is 2 days short to 19 months old and Aden is 8 and a half yrs plus. Love you three so much, my loves. All of you complete me. ❤️ #adikbearadik #madenmateen #maimanmuqri #nurulauliyamedina https://www.instagram.com/p/BtyC-wlBnla43hTm3Wk2IU1VVOHs2HIzB8ynQA0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jnoq87ofdugh

According to Lion Mums, it’s Step Down September. But according to me, it’s Step Up September. Who cares if I even have to bring assessment books to work to mark? 💁🏽‍♀️ Or who cares if you gonna hate me to the bones, son? 💁🏽‍♀️ Yea.. Yea.. I know #lifebeyondgrades. Taking this measure to kind of strengthen his foundations. Let’s do this, Aden! This is all for you. ❤️ #madenmateen https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnz2ixRh-vf9gSHaQj7Gc0_Fo5CZfkrFcyWw7o0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=416fmwqa7nd8

Oh Allah, please don’t let me become self-satisfied and arrogant in my parenting, but please don’t humble me or shame me through my children’s misdeeds either. Please let me always give credit for their good character to You and please don’t ever let me stop praying for them. Oh Allah, please don’t let my children be “late” in meeting any of life’s milestones that are expected of them. Oh Allah, protect my children from debt. Make them givers and not takers. Oh Allah, grant my children noble professions with halal incomes that give them respect and dignity in Your Eyes and in the eyes of their fellow human beings. Oh Allah, grant them worldly comfort so that my children can come to You through the Door of Gratitude and so that they are not forced to come to You through the Door of Patience. Please let them always be grateful…and patient. Oh Allah, I pray for a close, loving, happy and fulfilling relationship with them for all the days of our lives and to be reunited with them in Jannat ul Firdaus.آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ My dear children, if you don’t see mummy with you in Jannah, ask Allah for me to be there with you. #adikbearadik #madenmateen #maimanmuqri #mychildrenmyamanah #purestloveofalifetime

Oh Allah, grant them the wisdom to choose their words carefully and bless them with a generous and caring spirit. Oh Allah, I pray that they never stray from the path of deen and that You give them a future filled with Your best promises. Oh Allah, always keep our children cleansed and pure from evil and shaytaan. Oh Allah, keep them steadfast in establishing Salaah and help them revere the Glorious Quran as Your Word and Law and to read it with understanding daily. Let it be their source of light and guidance. Oh Allah, let our daughters love wearing hijab and our sons the dress of a humble Muslim. Let their dress be a representation of their Imaan and of their love and respect for Your commands. Lead them to a position where they rely truly on Your power alone and fear You in the open and in secret. Oh Allah, make them so strong in their deen that they never encounter doubt. Oh Allah, do not allow any negative attitudes in the place of our children’s lives. Oh Allah, guide our children in honouring and obeying You, Your Rasool (peace be upon him), and us as parents (when we are commanding that which is pleasing to You). Make them the coolness of our eyes. Oh Allah, fill our children with compassion and caring that will overflow to each member of our family. Oh Allah, grant them piety, help them love, value, appreciate, and respect one another with good communication between them always. Oh Allah, drive out any division between our children and bring them healing.I pray there be no strain, breach, misunderstanding, arguing, fighting, or severing of ties. Oh Allah, allow them to one day marry righteous, God-fearing, kind, hard-working, intelligent, beautiful, healthy spouses who get along with and respect and love (and genuinely enjoy) every member of our family and who lead our children (i.e. their spouses) even closer to You and Jannat ul Firdaus. Oh Allah, please grant me the company of pious friends, relatives, extended community members, and teachers who will be inspirational role models for my children and will help me raise them to be the best of believers. #adikbearadik #madenmateen #maimanmuqri

Oh Allah, I submit myself to You. I realize that parenting a child is a very difficult task and I turn to You in humility for Your help. I implore You for Your wisdom and guidance. Oh Allah, I know that our children are an amaanat from You, to care for and to raise in a manner that is pleasing to You.Help me do that in the best way. Teach me how to love in a way that You would have me love. Help me where I need to be healed, improved, nurtured, and made whole. Help me walk in righteousness and integrity so that You may always be pleased with me. Allow me to be a God-fearing role model with all the communication, teaching, and nurturing skills that I may need. Allah, You know what our children need. Help and guide us in praying for our children. Oh Allah, put a hedge of safety around our children. Protect their bodies, minds, and emotions from any kind of evil and harm. Oh Allah, I pray that You protect them from accidents, diseases, injuries, and any other physical, mental, or emotional afflictions and abuse. Oh Allah, I pray that You keep our children free from any addictions and vices. Draw them close to You for protection from every ill and evil influence of our society, whether it’s apparent to us or not. Oh Allah, grant them the best of company as their friends — people who will inspire them to love and worship and obey You. Oh Allah, grant our children hidaaya and a heart that loves to obey You. Shine Your light on any secret or unseen rebellion in their hearts and destroy it before it takes root. Oh Allah, guide them away from any pride, selfishness, jealousy, hypocrisy, malice, and greed and make them uncomfortable with sins. Penetrate their hearts with Your love and reverence today and always. Oh Allah, make apparent to them the truth in any situation and let them not be misled by falsehood. Oh Allah, grant our children the ability to make clear decisions and let them always be attracted to good things that are pure, noble, true, and just. Oh Allah, guide them in making choices that please You. Oh Allah, help them to taste the sweetness of walking with a humble spirit in obedience and submission to You. #adikbearadik #madenmateen #maimanmuqri
