Our First Quran Class!
Mom, Shezena, Anissa, and I all went to our first Quran class this morning! This is the whole reason we came to Egypt, so we can study Quran and Islam. We have officially started today. We only went over 2 surahs but it felt like so many more. Before we went to this class I thought I knew these surahs, I was wrong. It sounded nothing like how I say it but that is why we are here. The first one was not so bad but I did not even recognize the second one until we said it several times. It is almost like we have to completely learn it again. The class is about a block from our apartment so it takes less than five minutes to walk there. Our teacher is a very patient nikabi who reads beautifuly. Inshallah, one day soon I will read like her.

Assalamu Alaikum!! Congratulations on your first Quran class! How did you find a teacher who also speaks English? Either way, I'm glad you guys started right away.
How are the cooking/ laundry facilities in your apartment? I replied to Aisha's email a while ago, on which email addresses can I keep in contact with you guys the best? I have the family one, and then one or two for each of you Shezena and Aisha. Of course, I will use the blog as well :)
Alhamdulillah, the fact that you guys have internet access is such a big blessing!
Write back soon, Aisha and Shezena. miss you guys! Assalamu Alaikum!
AWRWB Sajidah, our teacher speaks some English. Enough to tell us to repeat after her and to say it again and again and again and- well you get the picture. We have a washing machine and a stove so we can wear clean clothes and cook. You should use the family email to keep in touch with us. I do think of you often. Salam.
