Is Time4Learning right for me?

I have been thinking about purchasing the Time4Learning.com curriculum for the kids. I think this well be best for us and I am almost upset that I had not done so sooner. Since I have used K12 and Connections Academy even though I hate there system I LOVE THEIR STRUCTURE and I also love the being apart of a program because that makes me feel like I am offering my children something that is worth while. So, My mind is boggling around with millions of thoughts as usually with "what am I gonna do with my babies?" I am just going to test it out and see if it is just the right them or the wrong thing for us. Ill keep you all posted when I do so mind you that will not be until September but I am thinking ahead to prepare us sooner. Ok until next time and no I have not forgotten my last post we are still working on some things. So inshallah sabr wa khair Salaamu alaykum.

Our summer time program 1:2

As Salaamu alaykuk

Note: When I post the 99 names from the lecture mashallah they will not be in order as we usually see Allah subhanna wa ta alaas names. The Shaykh did them in alphabetical order, So I will post them to you that way however i will number the orders after the names to show the order we are going in inshaAllah ta alaa.

Also, along with the names we will being doing lapbooks for each name as well inshallah.

Another activity we are doing is learning and going over the meaning of Tawheed. We will be using several books and links as well. I will post them as we go along.

The next subject is History of Phrophet Muhammad salalaahu alayhi wasalaam, "Knowing The Mercy to Mankind" by Dr Saleh As Saleh. This one mashallah I love. It goes into great details of many of the events that took place before and after Our Nabi Rasolullah salalaahu alayhi wasalaam.

And of course we will be doing much needed Marrajah with the quraan inshallah. And lots of arts and crafts inshallah.

Below are plants that my kids have grown. Mashallah they are so happy about there plants and they did a wonderful job on them (except for logging information lol ) need more work on that. ok inshallah more to come later ma salaams

Our summer time program 1:1

As Salaamu alaykum

Here is a list of what we will be doing for the summer time lessons inshallah ta alaa.

Although we have already started I thought it would be great to share and if any of you like to add or make suggestions plz do so.

We all know how important it is for our children to learn The 99 names of Allah. There are as you know many benefits for us all to learn them and I feel that it is very important to start at a young age in learning them so that it will be a breeze for them when they are older and also for them to start using this now.


I began by introducing the first 3 and +one new most familiar names (yes I will be going in order) but Allah's Ne'emah is that the most familiar ones are at the beginning alhamdulillah so that helps a great deal. So in total we are doing 4 names a week. This might seem small but we are not just learning the names we are doing tafseer, as well as arabic and english.

What I am using for the tasfeer is from Explaination of the 99 names of Allah taken from the lecture given by Abu Talha Dawood Burbank.

This list of 99 names was complied by the Noble Shaykh Saalih ibn Uthaymeen in his book- Qawaa'idul Muthlaa (Exemplary foundations concerning The Beautiful Names and Attributes of Allah) The brif explanations of the names is taken from a long list of authentic sourses, from them: -Tafseer ibn Jarir (At-Tabari)
-Tafseer ibn Kathir
-Tafseer As-Sa'di
-Tafseer Al-Baghawi
- Majmu'Fataawa of Ibn Taymiyyah
- An-Nuniyyah of Ibnul Qayyim
- Ar-Rub Al Jahmiyyah of Imam Ahmed
and many more.... I will do each post as we go along inshallah ... I will post the first 8 that we havw already memorised inshallah today. Barakallahu feekuuna wa Salaams ya habibatun.
next post the rest of what we are doing this summer brb
