Last Ten Days

Last updated on: September 2, 2010 at 4:07 pm   By Marwa Aly

We're in the last ten days of Ramadan and so much to be done…. Let's not forget the dua'a that the Prophet (pbuh) taught his beloved wife,  Aishah, for these blessed days and nights, "Allahuma innaka 'afun tuhibul 'afwa fa'fu 'anna- O Allah, You are pardoning and You love to pardon, so pardon me. " Wishing you a blessed ten nights… ~ GrowMama Team Read more

More About Umm Hamza

Last updated on: August 23, 2010 at 10:51 am   By Mahaez

Read the first part of Umm Hamza's story here.    Umm Hamza told me something really amazing today. But before I tell you more about her, let me tell you about our landlord. (Bear with me, because I need to write a rather long story.) They’ve been wanting a cleaning lady for months now, and they noticed Umm Hamza coming and going every Thursday. The watchman, who knows pretty much everything that goes on in this building, told the landlord... Read more

The Month of Seizures

Last updated on: August 16, 2010 at 2:37 pm   By Mahaez

A couple weeks ago, my daughter and I were perusing old photos and videos of her life on the computer.  She loves to see the changes in herself and her brother.  As we browsed, one folder was left unopened.  August 2006… the month of her seizures.  That month, my sweet daughter was ten months old and our only child.  Within a period of twenty-four hours, she had two seizures.  The first one came while she was nursing just before maghrib.... Read more

Ramadan Memories

Last updated on: August 11, 2010 at 12:03 pm   By Admin GrowMama

There is one memory that jumps to my mind when I think of Ramadan, and most importantly when I think of the spirit of Ramadan. I grew up in the States, so the one Ramadan that I spent in Egypt as an adult was a new experience. I was never sure if it beat my Ramadans back home in America, but this one memory of Ramadan in Egypt fills me with happiness and the spirit of racing to do good... Read more

Ramadan Inspiration

Last updated on: July 31, 2010 at 11:18 am   By Mahaez

Dear Growmama readers, Ramadan is just around the corner! Are you ready for the hours of reading Quran, the nights of prayer, the streams of reward, the cooking and cleaning (maybe!) and the playful teaching of spirituality to our children? We invite all Growmama readers to tell us how they are preparing for Ramadan, whether as individuals, families, mothers, community leaders, or teachers. Posts should be 200-500 words and can include pictures, audio and video, practical ideas, words of advice,... Read more

The Day I Wrote a Check

Last updated on: July 26, 2010 at 9:34 am   By Admin GrowMama

(This post was written a couple of years ago and is dedicated to all mothers who’ve ever tried to write a check...) So, it’s really busy business being a mommy. Whenever someone asks me what I do, I answer, “I’m ‘just’ a mother.’ And then I explain that being a mommy is busy business, but I rack my brains to remember why it’s a busy business… Can’t I do more with my time? (Answer is yes, but when I can’t….)... Read more

Teaching Responsibility

Last updated on: July 22, 2010 at 9:07 am   By Marwa Aly

Teaching responsibility is not random or finite. And as much as we wish, it is not even tangible. It is the evolution of the building of the character and the guiding of the being that is your child. Perhaps “teaching” is the wrong word to begin with. It starts with that first spark of interest in the toddler mimicking what you do. He or she sees you sweep and wants to do the same…or to wipe the table or to... Read more

The Stream

Last updated on: July 19, 2010 at 6:04 am   By Admin GrowMama

This stream I sit next to – does it realize where it is going?  Does it realize where it came from? Does it matter to it?   It is flowing right here, right now – so much energy, such force, such determination!  All in one direction – blind faith; no arguments.  It sees the rocks in the middle, the trees that grow inside the stream, all acting as obstacles, but it does not allow itself to stop herself.  She just flows... Read more

The Cow Hike

Last updated on: July 15, 2010 at 12:38 am   By Marwa Aly

When I was a kid, my dad used to take my brother and me on long hikes through the woods and cow fields near our home. We called it the Cow Hike. We would set out after dinner to give my mother some peaceful time alone. We would find wild raspberries and moo at the cows. During the summer it was one of our favorite activities. What was strange about the Cow Hike was that every single time we went... Read more
