Kembara Hati Mawar Safiya

Hello my lovely travel buddies! Sometimes, we need to go on a very, very long trip. Far, far away!  Maybe it takes 10 whole hours! Or maybe even 24 hours. That's one whole day and night!  Usually, we think: "Faster is better! Let's take an airplane! Zoom!" A 10-hour plane ride sounds faster than a 24-hour train ride, right? But wait a minute... Is faster always comfier ? Hmm... Let's think about it! Imagine you (You, the traveler!) are going on a super long trip. What is it really like on a plane for 10 hours? And what is it like on a train for 24 hours? (Inspired by a story from Alice Twain on Quora!) The Squishy Airplane Ride (10 Hours) You know how airplane seats are, right? They are often a bit... small. Squishy! Your knees might say hello to the seat in front of you. Oops! If you want to go potty (to the toilet!), you have to wiggle past the person next to you.  "Excuse me, excuse me!" There is not much space to stretch your legs or walk around....

Hello my wonderful friends! Life is like a big playground where we meet many, many people Everywhere! Most people are kind and fun to play with. Alhamdullillah! But sometimes, we meet people who are a little bit... tricky.  They do or say things that don't make our hearts feel good. They make us feel confused or sad or tired. It is super important to know about these tricky ways. Why? So we can keep our own hearts safe and happy! Like learning to wear a raincoat when you see dark clouds, so you don't get all wet and cold. A smart person shared some ideas about these tricky people (inspired by Ayaz Ali on Quora!). Let's learn about them together, in a simple way. Meet the 7 Tricky Friends: 1. The Sarcastic Teaser: What they do: They say mean things, but pretend it is just a joke. "Haha, just kidding!" ...but their words sting like a little bee! Ouch! They might not care much if your feelings get hurt. They mostly think about making themselves look clever or funny...

Hello my friends! Do you have a dream toy? Like a super cool car you really, really want? Well, I want to tell you a story about my dream car. It is a true story about me! When I was 24 years old , something exciting happened! I got my very first real job! Yay! A grown-up job with real money! After working for a few months, guess what I did? I bought my dream car!  It was a super fast, super cool sports car. A BMW M3! Vroom vroom! I had wanted this car for such a long, long time. Oh, buying it was SO exciting! It was shiny and fast! Driving it felt like flying! Wheeee! I felt so happy, like I was on top of the world! BUT... oh dear me. There was a little problem. This super cool car was also... super thirsty for money!  It needed special sleepy-time insurance (that costs lots of money!).  It needed special check-ups and baths (more money!). If something little broke? Oh no! Fixing it needed BIG money! And the gasoline? Gulp gulp gulp! It drank gasoline like a very, very ...

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah and hello my wonderful friends! Have you ever heard a very wise person, maybe your mom, grandpa or grandma, give you super important advice? Advice they want you to remember always, like a precious treasure in your heart? Well, today I want to share a story from the Holy Qur'an about some very important advice given by two very special fathers a long, long, LONG time ago! Who Were These Wise Fathers? They were Prophets! Special messengers chosen by Allah (God). One was Prophet Ibrahim a.s (Abraham in English). We learned about his special prayer for Makkah before, remember?  He was a super good messenger of Allah. The other was his grandson, Prophet Ya'qub a.s (Jacob in English). He was also a very wise and loving father and prophet. What Was Their Big Wish for Their Children? What do good daddies and mommies want most for their children? They want their children to be safe, happy, and to always choose the right path in life, right? Prophet Ibrah...

Assalamualaikum wbt and hello my wonderful friends! Do you ever make wishes? Or maybe say little prayers in your heart for things you hope for? Like wishing for a sunny day to play outside, or praying for everyone in your family to be happy and safe? Well, today I want to share a story about a very, very special prayer made a long, long, LONG time ago! It is a prayer that is so important, it is even written in the Holy Qur'an! Who Made This Special Prayer? The prayer was made by a very good and very important Prophet named Ibrahim a.s (Abraham in English). Prophet Ibrahim a.s was a super special messenger of Allah (God). He loved Allah very much and always tried his best to follow Allah's way. Where Was He Thinking About? Prophet Ibrahim was thinking about a very special city. A city that is still super important for Muslim friends all over the world today! The city of Makkah ! Makkah is the place with the Kaaba, the little black cube building where people go for Umra and Hajj...
