A Heartfelt Inquiry
Assalamu Alaikum dear friends,
I hope this message finds you wrapped in the warmth of love and tranquility. As we embark on the first edition of "Friday Insights," I want to extend my deepest gratitude to each of you for being a cherished part of this community.
This week, I stumbled upon a social media post that stirred the depths of my soul. The question posed was nothing short of profound: "If this were your last year with your child, how would you choose to live differently?"
The weight of this inquiry settled in my heart, prompting me to reflect on the essence of unschoolingβthe path I've chosen for my journey. It's not merely an educational choice; it's a philosophy that beckons us to savor every fleeting moment, embrace love, and nurture open communication.
Imagine, for a moment, living with the awareness that our time with our loved ones is limited. How would it shape our decisions, our priorities, and the way we engage with them? The profundity of this question lies in its potential to spark transformative change in our lives and the lives of those we hold dear.
As I considered this, I found solace in the simplicity of unschooling. It allows me to be present, to cherish the mundane and the extraordinary, and to build a foundation of love and understanding that transcends the hurried pace of modern life.
I invite each of you to contemplate this question with me. Let it seep into the corners of your heart. What adjustments would you make? What priorities would shift? How might your interactions with your loved ones evolve?
Whether or not you are a parent, I encourage you to imagine this scenario with all your cherished ones. Consider how you would choose to live your days with those you hold dear.
In closing, let me say, this was a very short insight, but a deep one. May it resonate with you in the quiet moments of your day.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
In Allah's care,
Nuha Khaled


I love the unschooling idea too.
Not so many people share insights about this.
I'd be very interested in reading more insights about this.
Answering your question, I'd cherish the moments with my loved ones by never checking my phone around them as much as I can. Have meaningful conversations with them, with uninterrupted time. And, give them the best gift I can give, which is, listening attentively.
Thanks, Nuha!
