Thoughts of a Mom during Pandemic

My daughter didn’t have dinner properly. Would she be able to sleep well? What if her cough worsens? It’s not dry cough so I shouldn’t be worried right? In any case, children are not at risk inshaAllah. Are my parents safe in Pakistan? Are they taking precautions? Did I send them the message that mentioned the wazifa?

*Eye catches sight of food crumbs below dining table*

Shop I mop the dining area floor or let the food crumbs remain? First, I should probably rotate some of her toys so that she’s excited to see the hidden toys tomorrow morning. Maybe it would make the day easier, considering we can’t leave the house… we have so many toys and so much food. We should donate some stuff to those who are being badly affected due to the pandemic. Who should I contact to get details about donation drives?

*Eye catches sight of grocery still lying near the main door*

Tomorrow I have to make ginger and garlic paste… maybe I should cook something easy :baked salmon? This carpet is dirty but can vacuum it tomorrow after my daughter helps me peel garlic and spread it all over the lounge. Do we have enough groceries to survive in case of a lockdown? But we don’t want to hoard anything; there are people in very worse conditions.

Anyway, I really need to pray Isha and sleep before it gets too late (counts number of hours left till 6 am – my daughter’s wake up time). InshaAllah I would try to focus in my prayer now that my daughter is asleep. I should recite the surahs I memorized in the hifz halaqah… now that the halaqah is off, I don’t want to forget those surahs.
