The Weekdays: 🧠 Wisdom, Prophetic Etiquettes, & Much More! 🐪

☀️ Schools are Back!

The school drop-off lines are back for some, kitchen tables have turned into classrooms for others, and Dallas heat is still holding us hostage. 🌞 Whether your mornings start with a commute, a cozy homeschool circle, or a mix of both, weekday life is in full swing. But don’t worry—we’ve got your dose of local news, events, and inspo to keep things cool (at least in spirit).

REFELECTION

Seeking Knowledge
The Prophet ﷺ said, “Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim.” (Ibn Majah)

Whether you’re in a school building, learning at home, or soaking up life lessons outside the classroom, every day is an opportunity to grow in knowledge and faith. The start of a new learning season is a perfect time to make a small, consistent intention—read one ayah a day, memorize a short duʿa, or learn a new sunnah.

Do: 
Choose one thing you want to learn this week and take the first step today. Even tiny seeds can grow into towering trees. 🌱
