About ten years ago, a woman and her three children migrated from a western country to the middle east- Egypt, hoping to find a more Islamic environment in which to raise her children. The following are true accounts of the situations she and her family faced settling in a new land. They also include some observations of life in the new country as she comes to terms with people's cultural, rather than Islamic thinking, and the behavior that stems from it. Some are funny, some are sad but all are true and the blessings of Allah can be seen through these experiences as the people involved grew and learned in Islam.
