As a Muslim I believe that taking care of the world and avoiding being wasteful are important parts of Islam, my kids are passionate about taking care of the environment , so this is something we want to take part in as a reminder and to get them thinking and talking about this issue also (I will never forget Little Man's reprimand a few years ago - "You just left the light on mum, you don't care! You don't care about the polar bears!").
Earth Hour will be tonight Saturday 31st March 2012 at 8.30pm in London - will you be doing anything in your town or home?
We are switching off for the hour. A lot of people will be doing the same across the country.
ReplyDeleteAsalam alekum, i hope you are feeling better, i must admit i have missed your posts. If im honest i cant say ive heard about the earth hour, sounds like a really good idea though x
ReplyDeleteAssalaam alaykum! I missed Earth Hour! I'll have to schedule a make-up day for our house!
ReplyDeleteAssalam-alaikam,
ReplyDeleteWe ended up switching off and lighting a candle whilst I snuggled in beds with the kids. Hubby came home at one point and went out again, thinking no-one was home. When he didn't find me at my mum's, he called to find us at home in hysterics. I guess we should have told him it was earth hour too!
Sister Serenity - well done, mash'Allah your drawing skills are totally inspiring me insh'Allah
Sister Noor - Feeling better today alhamdulillah and praying it lasts till bedtime. Hearting your giveaway and have liked you on facebook (here's hoping!)
Sister Salihah - I did a double take when I saw your name, I thought "what's my daughter doing on blogger!" Just visited your blogged and totally loved it - so useful. As soon as I can taste again I want to try out some of those recipes insh'Allah.
