Bedtime series – Idea 7: Morning routine

Bedtime series – Idea 7: Morning routine

Sep 29, 2014 | Bedtime, Imam Mahdi (aj)

To wrap this series up, we will take a look at what happens when the night ends!

This short but sweet dua for waking up can be stuck next to their beds so that they recite it when they wake up 🙂

A mum also said: “My sister taught me we should also say salam to Imam Zamana (atf) holding our heads and when we wake up. So I have taught my daughter the same and now sometimes I forget but she always says salam to her Imam which is a reminder to me too! This has so many benefits: it reminds us of the presence of our imam in his occulation, our responsibilities to him when it time for his arrival and it sets a standard for our behaviour for the rest of the day.”

Bedtime Series – Idea 6: Use that time to remember the family of the Prophet (saw)

Sep 25, 2014 | Bedtime, Ziyarat

Bedtime can be a great time to help children remember the names of the Ahlul Bayt. If done informally, it will Inshallah not be so stressful on the child to try and memorise them and can be learnt in fun ways!

I just tell my daughter that it’s time to go to Ziyarat, and we can do all 14 ziyarats by simply saying Salaam to each one. Sometimes, we hush and try and listen out for their ‘Alaikum Salaams’.
Another thing we did was write out the names on small pieces of card and stick them all with blue tack on one of the slates of the bunk bed on top of her. This way when we said Salaam, she also had the visual cue in front of her. Sometimes we would mix them up and she would then put them back in order!

Rhymes are also great. There is one in Gujrati (pratham ali bija Hassan…) as recommended by a mum, but here is a link to an English one! It’s the second rhyme – do also check out the others!

Bedtime Series – Idea 5: A short but sweet checklist

Bedtime Series – Idea 5: A short but sweet checklist

Sep 24, 2014 | Bedtime

Remember the first bedtime idea shared? The bedtime checklist with all the recommended acts included? Well, here is another one – perhaps more suitable for younger children, or when there isn’t enough time to do everything.

If you want the actual wording for praying for the believers it is: Allahummaghfir lil Mu’mineen wal Mu’minaat – O Allah! Please forgive all of the believing men and believing women.
And the Tasbeehate Arba is: Subhanallahi Walhamdulillahi wlaa ilaaha illallahu Wallahu Akbar – Glory be to God, and praise be to God; there is no god but Allah, and Allah is Greater.
P.S. This was my first attempt at actually make a meme myself – any tips – PM me!
