Umm Ibrahim

Welcome to TJ UAE!

Thanks for stopping by.   My name is Umm Ibrahim and I am an American Muslim expat living in the UAE. If you are looking for information about making hijrah to UAE, relocating to UAE, or visiting UAE, I hope you will find the resources and my personal accounts helpful.


If you are undecided about where to make your hijrah to, you might stop by my other blog, TJ Yemen which I maintained while we were in Yemen. It has loads of information about day to day life in Yemen and what you can expect when you get there.


If you are a homeschooler, I have included homeschooling information (and hope to add more) here as well. I also maintain a homeschooling web site, Talibiddeen Jr. and a companion blog to that site, Talibiddeen Jr. Companion blog. If you are looking for free home education resources and information about homeschooling (secular or Islamic), stop by today, insha Allah!



Again, thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy your visit..........................................
