One of our students on the A* GCSE Maths Program is a wannabe brain surgeon.
His mother took me to the side and said to me, “Help him find another job, one that maybe he can achieve.”
We certainly have a section where we encourage other job options (plan A, B and C) but the end goal is to find that job that makes them super happy and fulfilled.
But we never discourage anything, no matter how big. Or small.
A few years back I had a student who wanted to be an astronaut. I told him as long as your mum can afford the funding (about 200K last time I heard) you just get cracking with the studies.
I think he is trying to fund it himself as he has a bank job. The other week I sent him a link to apply to be a space astronaut.

Especially when its about the colour of my skin or the way I dress. AND especially when I know with out a shadow of a doubt that I am RIGHT! ✅
So, I went to Blackburn hospital the other day to get bloods 💉 done and the security guard 👮♂️ stopped me in my tracks and said, “Put a face mask on!”
I grabbed one off his table and proceeded to put it on under the mask I ALREADY HAD ON. My niqab. Lololol 🤣🤣🤣.

But then he stopped me again, “What have you come here for?”🤔
Now, can you imagine if it was my private parts or something I would be shy to mention. 😬. Thank god it was only bloods because I’m a rubbish liar.
Normally, I would have walked off mumbling friggin dickedd, but I thought to myself…
What a lovely security guard. 😃
Giving added protection to the world and making sure I hadn’t mixed up the shopping centre with the hospital!😆
I have been known in the past to cause a ruckus over nothing. But this time, not only did I comply with the guard, but I thought wonderful thoughts of him.🤩
This is something all my children 👨👦👦 on The A* GCSE maths program™ will understand what happened to me in the hospital.
Because this is also something I teach them. MINDSET. (Funnily its something the parents are enjoying more than the kids themselves.)
Hopefully, not only will they do really well in their exams, they will do really well in their life moving forward. And thats all we hope for in the end, for every single child.
🔴 Moral of the story 1 – Security guard was a bit weird but I learnt not to make a fuss. AND yes I leant it, over months and years of…sorry but its in the program.
🔴 Moral of the story 2 – Don’t judge a book by its cover. I may be dressed like someone out of the Sahara desert. But I speak better English than most English people.
🔴 PS – I don’t wear niqab to teach my children. I’m not that religious!
Mind your mask set, mask your mindset

2020 has been the year of…story telling. I told story after story after story…💤…😴
We told… Sick story 🤢, funny story 🤣, silly story 🤪, maths story 👩🏫, business story 📈, school story, (no pic sorry) student story👩🎓…
I’m all storied out!!! AND It got so insane, FB memorialized my old account of over 10 years 😯.
Its ok, its ok, I’m not materialistic anyway, I WILL actually die in real life too, ⚰ incase you didn’t realise.
One story I didn’t tell was my hay days of teaching Quranic Arabic with thajweed to ladies in Chester, for 8 years. Yes, we teach Arabic as well as Maths!
Arabic too!!
My fondest, happiest memory so far 😍. It all ended when we moved to Blackburn in 2014.
But I wanted to revive it. So I put it on my November 2020 bucket list 🪣, as shown on the picture. Growth, experience and contribution to the community.
My November 2020 bucket list
“You can’t teach it here in Blackburn,” they said. “Your not an Alima,” they said. “Nobody will come to you!” They said… back in 2016.
So we jump on the Alima course.
➡️ It doesn’t matter that we did hifz for 25 years with an Arab in Liverpool. ➡️ It doesn’t matter that we did Bukhari in house mosque for 30 odd years. ➡️ It doesn’t matter that we did bits and pieces of other stuffs, Almaghrib, Alkauthar. ➡️ They ➡️ want ➡️ the ➡️ Alima.
No no. Its not the Alima they want. Its the familiar face 👥 they want.
I called all my old buddies from Chester, 🗣 “Who wants to jump on zoom, for 40 mins, once a week, and go over the last 10 small surahs with thajweed for 11 weeks?”
ME ME ME 🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
December 2020, my dream comes true. 🤩. It didn’t even take that long to happen!
Such gratitude 🙏
👌Moral of the story 1: Its not what you know, its who you know. 👌Moral of the story 2: Write your dreams. It will materialise…Inshallah. 👌Moral of the story 3: Don’t diss the small Suras. Take care of the small things, and the big things will take care of themselves. 👌Moral of the story 3: Does anyone else want to join? Every Tuesday @8pm (Must have prior knowledge of basic Arabic reading skills) 👌Moral of the story 4: Its absolutely 💯 FREE!!!
Who do you know who wants to learn a bit of quran with thajweed? Pass this on. You could be someone’s saving grace. Rakiya 07877216783 text only please.
Please share for YOUR share of the sadaqah jaariyah.
I love a good mug ☕, bunch of flowers 💐 or a smelly something of any type. This is an Arabian bakhoor diffuser.

Wow, the new school year has only just begun and children are already sending me prezzies 🎁!
Much Gratitude
Whats lovely is when my student Irfaan said to me, “Its for all your hard work and patience.”
And the reality is, I told him…its not hard work at all. In fact, I absolutely love teaching you all. Its an honour and a gratitude 🙏.
But with that said, my patience is also tested when anyone starts to play up ⚽️. I wonder, is it a reflection of my teaching. Why is somebody playing up?
Is the lesson boring?
Is the lesson hard?
Regardless, children are like sponges and soak up everything we say and do.
They may find the topic boring and hard, but at the end of the day, I act silly and say some stupid things during lessons.
I have some nuances to make them remember formulas.
This silliness is what they remember in the exam, hopefully not the hard and the boring stuff.
This also makes a ‘die of boredom’ maths lesson more entertaining 🤹♀️, week after week.
Jazakallah khair #Arifa it smells delicious 🥰.
Silly me, in maths
