A good friend once told me she experienced guilt because after trying to have conceive for many years, when she finally had children, she found she didn’t like it much sometimes. It’s not something anyone wants to admit. Sometimes people don’t like being parents. I find I love being a mum, but occasionally find myself […]

I got a phone call from my middle child’s school this week asking me to come in. I asked what it was about and they said not to worry. For a brief moment I did entertain delusions about being called in for a good reason, such as he being recognised as some kind of child […]

I have posted this before, but the last sermon of our beloved Prophet (Sallahu Alaihi Wassalam), delivered on the 9th day of Hajj at the plain of Arafat, never fails to move me to tears. Every time I read it, I find something new in it and every time I read it, I marvel at the […]
