Suratul Qadr Sugar Cookies
As I had to discard the much-loved S.Qadr bunting this year, I promised the kids we’d make S.Qadr cookies using the same concept. I knew we didn’t have time for making, baking and decorating so I chose to go with a chocolate sugar cookie option with a sprinkle of glitter. The recipe was from here… Continue reading Suratul Qadr Sugar Cookies

Imam Ali (as)’s Will
I tried to get them to read the letter of I.Ali (as) to his son I.Hassan (as) but I’m not sure how much they’ve actually read and comprehended.

Boredom Buster
As you can imagine, everything is boring! But apparently playing with balloons isn’t! Hooray Alhamd!

You can use any Islamic categories,… Continue reading Boredom Buster

Moon and Stars Chocolate Dates
These chocolate-topped date shapes were super fun to make and looked impressive enough to share 🙂 Star Moulds: You’ll need a silicone star mould for the stars and a moon cookie cutter for the Ramadhan effect 🙂 Fill the mould with 1/3 melted chocolate (white gives a better effect) and freeze. After they’ve hardened, fill… Continue reading Moon and Stars Chocolate Dates
