Dawud Wharnsby Ali

Creative ideas, along with safety advice, about how to spend the summer offline, in real life, enjoying the best of what the warm months have to offer, all from Sound Vision's Dawud Wharnsby Ali. 

Dawud Wharnsby Ali suggests making these Islamic activities simple yet consistent – by incorporating them into daily life during the summer, when free time is usually far more abundant and accessible. 

A 2011 University of Glasgow study found that arts and crafts activities can improve well-being in ways that physical and outdoor activities could not. Help your kids reap the benefits of crafting during their freer time during the summer. 

One ritual that has become synonymous with coming of age has been the senior prom, which is an opportunity for youth to celebrate the entrance into the world of adulthood with a splash of color and formality. However, there is far more behind the social event than may be initially noticed.

 Alhamdu lillah, Allah has granted mankind two Eids where we are encouraged to celebrate joyously with friends and family. We are reminded not to go to extremes with waste, yet we are encouraged to worship, eat, remember the poor, sing and thank our Creator with joy for His blessings upon us.
