This is not an exhaustive list, but will give you an idea of what we have done since arriving in the USA on 8 July 2015.
10 July: got our 10 cylinder Ford Excursion and drove with all our belongings from Northern Virginia to Pennsylvania to pick up our 28ft travel trailer
11 July: started our 4-day, cross country drive to New Mexico while fasting the days of Ramadhaan
14 July: arrived in Roy and stayed at the village bed and bath, until we got water
16 July: Started unpacking and setting up a storage tent for our boxes of belongings
17 July: Eid Al Fitr: Went to Amarillo, TX for 3 days, to see the Muslim community
19 July: returned to Healing Earth to receive a delivery of four 1,650 gallon water tanks and a manual water pump. Placed 3 water tanks on 23 acre plot and one more on the 28 acre plot
21 July: welcomed Shariyf's mother and aunt who visited for 9 days
24 July: Camper Shell
25 July: drove to Colorado Springs to purchase blue egg laying chickens from a British man - 20 organically fed beautiful hens nearly ready to lay and a handsome rooster to rule the roost, maashaa Allah!
26 July: added roosting bars to their chicken coop and started putting up chicken wire around our fruit tree orchard for their foraging area
30 July: Delivery of 40 foot shipping container - to be used as our emergency shelter and kitchen. Moved RVs to form a small yard area
A family with a mission: to escape the fitna (trials) of this worldly life by getting away from it all and living according to Allah's Perfect Decree to the best of our ability; to heal the earth through our most perfect examples in the Qur'an and the Sunnah, which in turn heals ourselves; and to teach others how to do the same, and give them a place to go where Islam can be lived and a life of worship enjoyed, in shaa Allah.
