InshaALLAH I am making an effort to keep up with my Islamic learning. This is quite a feat while homeschooling, studying Arabic, housework (cough, cough) and other demands like exercise. Yes, exercise too, lol. I sometimes wonder how it can all be done. Not everything gets done, but AlhamduLILLAH, some things do.

I am keeping several notebooks at the moment. I don’t like binders for myself, but I love using composition notebooks and I have a few spiral-bound notebooks on hand as well.

Right now, I’m slowly working my way through Bulugh Al-Maram and when I find the time,(SubhanALLAH, there is time but I have to stop finding distractions), Al Arabia Bain Yadaik – Arabic Between Your Hands, level 1. I try to get my husband to participate because my reading aloud is painfully slow, but I think it’s probably hard for him to help (because my reading aloud is painfully slow, lol).

I would also like to tackle the Qur’an commentary whilst reading the entire Qur’an over the course of the next year because honestly, this isn’t something that I’ve done before. I’ve started this only because my daughter is learning Qur’an and it motivates me to learn more as well. Do you have a schedule for the Qur’an reading, and how much do you read each day? Do you read in Arabic/English/other only or with a commentary? Are you memorizing as you go along?
