About

Asalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu,

Ahlen wa sahlen! Welcome and sincerely thank you for visiting our blog, whether you are a parent, teacher, home educator or schooler.

What started as the documentation of personal experiences from a home educator back in 2011, has evolved into a means to share educational resources and articles relating to education and Muslim family life.

Who am I?

You won't find my picture anywhere, and whilst I do occasionally share some personal reflections around education and family if I feel there is a benefit, I don't tend to share much personal about myself and family beyond this.....because there is no benefit to you my dear reader to do so, and the life of a Muslim woman and her husband's home is indeed a private affair. 

However to give a brief idea of who is behind a Muslim Home School for the purpose of transparency....

I'm Umm khadeeja, a home educating mum in the UK striving to raise my children with the Qur'an and Sunnah upon the same understanding as the Salaf us-Saalih. 

I help Muslim mummas uncover how they can homeschool with confidence in their ability to educate their children without school so they can live the homeschool life they want, insha'Allah.

When my eldest was born, homeschool was the LAST thing I ever wanted to do. I knew State school was out of the question, but homeschool? That was for weirdos (so I thought).

When she was three, we moved to a new city and was blessed to meet a bunch of home educating families who welcomed me into their little community and I LOVED what I saw💕

These homeschoolers were not weird, they all had friends and were able to instil in their children the Islamic values I was striving for.

A year later my husband and I made the decision to join them, and here we are now 11 years later, huge advocates for home education and almost at the end of compulsory secondary education with our firstborn.

Over the past 11 years, I have shared the resources I made for my children, authored articles, ebooks and created an EPIC Planner kit as well as a 16-week course to help Muslim mums uncover how they can homeschool with confidence.

My mission is to help mummas transform from overwhelmed and burned out to happy, excited and confident....if you’re prepared to take action...one thing I’ve learned from my own experience is that no change occurs without action.

Over the past couple of years I’ve had the privilege of working with over 600 Muslim women from multiple countries and experiences, and I’m truly grateful for this opportunity to serve our community that has transformed from what started as a hobby I loved into something so much more meaningful, Alhamdulilah.

I’m currently working on 2 accredited coaching diplomas in Personal Performance and Education & Parenting so I can take my service to you to the next level and have some awesome projects I want to bring forward next year insha’Allah

What will you find here?

Support!

Free educational and planning printables, children's projects that might inspire, articles and reflections around homeschooling, education, parenting and family life as well as paid resources to aid your homeschool adventure.

When I began home educating, I found a lack of suitable resources to use with my children, particularly Islamic material that was of good quality and authentic. I found that producing what I needed gave me exactly what I wanted...and cheap!

The resources and articles shared, are for the most part, things which I have done, used or created for my own children, which perhaps will be of use to others also inshallah.

Islamic Resources Disclaimer

"This knowledge is a matter of dīn, so be careful who you take your dīn from."

Muḥammad Ibn Serīn

I must be clear, I am merely a mother, striving to raise my children to know for what purpose they were created for, inshaAllah.

Whilst I have my own personal Islamic studies through attending lessons, audios and books of the Scholars and Taalib ul Ilm, I am not a student of knowledge, rather I am completely a layman.

Therefore any Islamic resource material I share, are not from "myself", but instead based upon the works of the Ulema or known students of knowledge to help teach our children inshaAllah. 

I tend to avoid producing resources which "teaches" Islamic topics,- instead produce material that will aid a topic from authentic works, such as simple worksheets, lapbooks or note booking pages to accompany a taught study. 

May Allah keep us firmly upon the straight path, guide us to what is true and keep us away from falsehood. 

All good is from Allah Alone, and all errors are from myself and the Shaytan. Please notify me of any mistakes using the form on the contact page.

Social Media

You can find me on our public Facebook page where I share any articles from around the internet connected to education, family and parenting, as well as Instagram where you will find snippets showing some of the things learning or exploring and lastly Pinterest, a place I hoard virtual "stuff" to inspire from around the web!

If you are interested in finding community support, we have a private Facebook Muslim Homeschoolers group (women only) where there are some amazing conversations and support given, and if you want some guided mentoring in homeschool planning and organisation, until May 2019 we have an online Planning Club on facebook which is available for those who purchase the Homeschool Planner 2018-19 (again, women only)

Any good which comes about of this blog, is certainly from Allah. And all errors are from myself. Should you spot any mistakes, please contact me so I can rectify and correct inshaAllah. 

A small request, please support, share and subscribe!

JazakumAllahu khayran
