Happy Muslim Mama: Mum and Muslim June/July 2011 issue

Assalam-alaikam, The latest issue of Mum and Muslim is now out, with a focus on preparing for Ramadan. The editor Umm Imran says:

“We have had many writers over the past year and more are coming forward every week. It is their input that has allowed us to get this far, and inshallah will be what keeps us going. We have had writers from a variety of backgrounds, countries and even ages (from 12 to much older!). This is what we wanted to achieve from the start and is what makes us different. A big thank you again to our writers and also to you readers who keep coming back, Alhamdullilah!

The features section is all about Ramadan preparation as this will be coming inshallah just after our next issue. The Prophet (SAW) and his companions (RA) used to prepare months in advance for this and so we should inshallah try to follow their examples. Our parenting section has an interesting article on naming children and one on effective ways of dealing with children’s temper tantrums. In our health section, our GP sister talks about issues relating to babies, which can be distressing to new parentsThis e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
