As-salaamu'alaykum wa Rahmatu Llahi wa Barakatuh

I've been tagged by my dearest sister Umm Hibaat! Thank you for thinking of me.


Conditions of this award are:
Tell your readers 10 things about you that they may or may not know, but are true. Tag ten people with the award, and be sure to let them know they have been tagged (a quick comment on their blog will do). Don’t forget to link back to the blogger who tagged you.

Oh my... humm... 10 huh? 3 not enough?

1) I prefer cooking withOUT exact measurements, even if I've never made the dish before.. ha!

2) I'm very punctual, alhumduliLlah - and I think it's inconsiderate to plan events assuming everyone is going to be late!

3) I'm attempting to learn Spanish - but I usually don't finish what I start *grin*

4) I don't like shopping - I know, I know..what's wrong with me?!

5) I prefer to eat with chopsticks instead of a fork.

6) I collect boxes - I don't know why.. I just LIKE them, and they like me.. and that's all that counts!

7) I like reading blogs where I can learn something - even if it's once in a while.

8) I get really happy when a Muslimah (that I don't know) answers my salaam - or even better says salaam to me first!

9) Two children have been named after me - insha'Allah that's a good thing.. lol

10) I find cook books fascinating - I can read them from cover to cover.



I tag: - Don't feel obligated to do it, I know not everyone likes tags.

As-salaamu'alaykum wa Rahmatu Llahi wa Barakatuhu

AlhumduliLlah, last Ramadaan WE were able to help Nasrin.
Participants came from: 1 - Singapore : 5 - U.S.A. : 9 - Canada


God willing, this year we can continue working together to help another child.

Project Description: To sponsor a child for a year, as a group. It will cost a total of $360 (Canadian). The more people who join the less money you spend, and your reward stays the same, insha'Allah.. just make sure you have the correct intention.



Are you ready to make your Ramadaan different this year? If you are interested, email me at amtullah79@yahoo.ca
On August 4, I will let you know how much you will be required to pay. If you agree to this amount, you will be expected to pay it on August 17. Make sense? (ie: by you signing up it does not mean you are committed, until you know how much and agree to that amount)


Sign-up date due: Tuesday, August 4, 2009
Payment agreement: Sunday, August 9, 2009
Payment must be made: Monday, August 17, 2009

Before emailing me.. please make sure have the correct intention, (ie: to do it to please Allah).

Note: As a sponsor you will receive a profile of the child, and have permission to write/send cards, etc. to the child. The child will likely be a boy from Kenya.
