Bismi l-laahi r-raHmaani r-raHeem
As-salaamu `alaykum wa raHmatu l-laahi wa barakaatuh!
Welcome to the Bayt Arabi or “Arabic House” blog! Here I will post relevant information and resources from our family. We are a Muslim, Syrian-American family (Literally– I’m American and my husband is from Damascus) living in the Southern US, raising and homeschooling 3 gifted children (all girls) and awaiting the birth of our 4th child in late August/early September.
I intend this blog with deal with the following issues:
- Islamic Homeschooling
- Giftedness
- Raising Muslim children
- Raising bicultural children
- Raising bilingual children
Unlike my previous blog (for those of you who know me) I won’t talk much about spiritual issues here. I learned the hard way that spiritual parenting is too controversial a topic and that addressing it puts me at risk. Instead I’ll be focusing on information and resources about what has worked for us in developing a routine and style of homeschooling that incorporates the best of both our cultures within an Islamic framework. I can’t promise regular posts here, as I am a busy person with multiple responsibilities, but I’ll do my best to make this blog useful to those who choose to read it.
wa s-salaam
