Please accept my apologies . . .

Asalaam ‘Alaikum Everyone:

No – we’re not actually closed (wipe the sweat from your forehead!) – actually only the SORRY part applies!

I know that I promised that I would upload the latest Arabic Learning Materials a week or so after Eid. I also know that many of you have been checking and waiting to see when that would ever happen. Have you lost confidence in me? I hope not!

I know that I am way behind – and I don’t take making promises lightly. From the depths of my heart – I ask you to forgive me for not doing it yet. The week I was intending to upload them, the girls and I had a severe stomach virus. The baby didn’t recover until last weekend – she didn’t eat for seven days without being sick. For those of you who have children – I am sure you know what that is like, masha’Allah.

Because we were sick – we also have gotten a week behind in school (that’s approximately 4 or 5 hours of work each day). So, we have been struggling to get caught up all the while preparing for a trip overseas. We not only have doctor’s appointments and immunizations – buying gifts for family – buying clothes and things we need – we also have to plan what we will bring for daily use – and what we will bring for school. Since we are behind, we will have to do some schoolwork while we are there (yuck).

Also – I actually don’t know the password to our account to update the files. When I don’t upload often – I tend to forget when there are so many other things happening around me! My husband is preparing for his finals so I haven’t wanted to burden him with finding it for me (he also doesn’t remember – lol!) Yes, we are a mess!

Anyway – I have the best of intentions and do not promise anything without actually wanting to have it done. It bothers me when I make a promise and then can’t get it done. So, insha’Allah – I will try my best to get it done before our trip.

Please forgive me if I cannot do it – but I will do my best, insha’Allah.

Also, please make dua for me – I have been going through some difficult times lately – health wise and in general. Your duas are greatly appreciated – Jazak Allah Khair.

I love you all for the sake of Allah – may He reunite us all in Jannah, insha’Allah.

Asalaam ‘Alaikum,

Sumayyah Umm SAA

    Assalamu aleikum

    Shafaakillah, tahoor inshaa Allah. May He make things easy for you, ameen.

    Alhamdu lillah, that you are (somewhat) okay.

  3. Asalaam ‘Alaikum Dear Sisters:

    How I’ve missed you both, masha’Allah! Insha’Allah all is going well with you – you and your families are in the best of health and iman, insha’Allah.

    Jazak Allah Khair for the understanding. I’ve had Carpal Tunnel (pretty bad) in both hands since dd#2 was born four years ago. Now, I have been told by three separate doctors that they suspect that I have fibromyalgia. I’m still learning about it – but it sounds right from what I have been going through lately. One bad thing for fibromyalgia is stress – which I have had a lot of lately from many different people pulling me into many different directions – more and more responsibilities . . . etc. So, it causes me more pain – makes my insomnia worse and makes me anxious.

    I’m intending to read more about it when I return from my trip – hoping to start a new diet (that is supposed to help) – exercise more regularly – and to especially start to find ways to de-stress my life and ensure that I also take care of me as well as everyone else, insha’Allah.

    Jazak Allah Khair for the duas and hugs. I’ve really needed them. Insha’Allah this trip overseas will be a real vacation this time – last time didn’t go as well as planned.

    Asalaam ‘Alaikum,
    Sumayyah
