Welcome to the Arabic House!
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 (I’m American and my husband is from Damascus) living in the Southern US, raising and homeschooling 4 children in the southern US. Without much –okay, let’s be honest– ANYTHING in the way of community support. Humph.
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. And whatever else I feel like with respect to homeschooling and general life. 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
