MashaAllah…this reminded me how TDC was ‘under attack’ all over the media in 2003 just a week before the conference started, and now just 4 years later alhamdullilah something positive…it really makes us feel good!

Also, someone really needs to describe today’s event in detail!!

And please keep your eye on http://www.houstonbelief.com – it’s what the Chronicle’s religion section has evolved into and has the potential to be a good vehicle for accurate information about Islam, especially if there is plenty of Muslim input.

EXCELLENT story in Chronicle:

A joyous weekend for Muslims
Islam’s holiest day leads into the annual Texas Dawah Convention

Great positive reporting. Good quotes:

“It is one of the best conferences of an academic nature for Muslims in North America,” said Yasir Qadhi, an imam and a doctoral student in Islamic theology at Yale University. “It teaches them spirituality, the legal code, practically speaking how to live their lives as Muslims.”
…
“We want to be certain we instill values in our children, and I am looking forward to getting a lot of advice on how to raise the children,” said Jalali who is attending her first conference. “And I want to know how to improve myself.”
…
Muslim-Americans struggle with some of the same problems confronting U.S. families of other faiths, said [Waleed] Basyouni, imam of the Clear Lake Islamic Center. “Healthy families are the core of a healthy society,” he added

I am also one of those who wont be going, my first TDC to miss :(

BUT…
Yesterday I was talking to Umm Sarah, our master mind behind TDC’s, Alhamdullilah, unbeatable and incomparable babysitting, and I would love to tell all the parents that our TDC crew is working twice as hard to keep the children happy and parents content!!

As Umm Sarah said that now children’s “expectations” have gone so up high that she had to think really hard to come up with new activities so they won’t say, ‘OH…BUT we did this last year too…”

So be ready to explore yet another exciting and creative ‘Children’s Fun Zone’ (we don’t like to call it babysitting…negative connotations :) )

Remember, if the children are happy then we, mothers, are appeased and if we are appeased then husbands are in peace!! :)

Enjoy TDC and make lots of du’a for the organizers.

I also, most unfortunately, cannot go. Was set to go but things got in the way; definitely very saddened. :(

Anyone who can go, don’t miss out. TDC is the best conference out there and looks amazing this year.
