Last Monday, Alhamdulillah was Jungle School Day for Tariq! 🥳🥳🥳
Yes, Jungle School as in learning the 101 on Jungles and
basic skills needed to survive in jungles in the Jungle itself! 🌳🌴🌱🎋
For this class, main lesson was on how to start fire!
Very basic but MashaAllah the learning was awesome!
So, Tariq learn how to interpret the ‘noises’ of animals he
heard before entering the Jungle,🪲🐜🐞🐸🦉🦗, learn important leaves that can be eaten or
even leaves types that can be used as soaps in jungles, benefits of dead vs
living tree branches, their different usages, how to process the dead branches,
how to identity a good fire spot, how to feather the tree branches, how to make
fire without lighter, how to start the fire, how to manage the fire, how to
interpret the smoke direction and what it means, how to understand the wind felt
in Jungles etc. etc.
SubhanAllah!
It was truly a happy day for Tariq!
To be in nature and exploring Allah’s beautiful and amazing
creations, SubhanAllah, was a pretty awesome way to learn!
And a wonderful way to realize that Allah has provided
everything for us to live in this world, all in His Creations!
SubhanAllah💕
On our way back, I reminded Tariq of one of Allah’s verses
in the Holy Quran….
…. That Allah said that all and everything that exist in
this world, He created to exist to serve mankind.
And Tariq understood this verse at a different level that
day, Alhamdulillah! 💕💕
SubhanAllah MashaAllah TabarakAllah Allahu Akbar!❤️❤️❤️
Indeed He, Allah is Most Loving, Most Kind, Owner and
Provider of all Sustenance..❤️❤️❤️
