My life as a stay-at-home mother transformed when the pandemic lockdowns began in March 2020. What may have seemed like daunting days ahead full of cranky children, a messy house, and loneliness, turned out to be an unexpectedly joyous time.

Finding yourself stuck in a rut with your spouse? Can’t seem to get past obstacles in your relationship no matter how much you communicate?

Worried about your teenage child missing the afternoon prayer or Friday prayers because of school? Or concerned that the school is focusing too much on Halloween or Christmas in their lessons and activities, with no inclusion of other celebrations, especially Eid?

From the onset of the pandemic, many parents have been concerned about the impact it has on their children’s interpersonal skills.

Are you a parent looking to find ways to balance your career and/or studies with family life? Or perhaps you are concerned that the work you do does not align with your Islamic morals?

Since the onset of the pandemic in 2020, many industries have moved their services online. Especially education.
