We only request respect for each other's points of view and the highest "adab" (manners/etiquette) in email postings. Bammom's your guide to networking with others, joining homeschoolers or forming a play group, making a new friend, reviving khidma, and your guide to going green.

We are all Muslims (alhamdulillah), we are all mothers (alhamdulillah), and we are all sisters in this journey of raising our children up to be of the mu'mineen (alhamdulillah again and again!). May Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) grant us "tawfiq" (success) in attaining His pleasure. Aameen.
