Hello Rana,
I am so happy for u. Taking care of them will be easy don't worry, you should just take care of the following.
First if u didn't already prepare a place for yr cat and her kittens, pick somewhere quite and cool (not too hot or cold). Make sure that u or anybody else, do not touch the kittens at any time (so that u don't leave yr scent on them and their mother might refuse them), their mother will clean them and feed them by herself.
Second, try to keep the food and water near yr cat. So she could eat and drink while nrsing the kittens.
Also keep the litter box in a near distance from her.
Some cats are very protective of their kittens if that is the case then it is best to just put the food and leave them alone till they grow a little.
They will not need any food for at least 5 to 6 weeks, then u can start introducing soft foods to the small kittens.
Lastly, in some cases, the mother might stop nursing one of the small kittens. If this goes on for a long while then u can try the following, wear gloves or hold the small kitten with a clean piece of cloth near the mothers nose, start patting her and making her feel comfortable, she might start licking the small kitten and will start feeding her again. U might have to repeat that several times until the small kitten is strong enough to go to her mother on her own.
Don't worry and keep them safe.

Make sure that the mother and the kittens all have a large warm bed to go to. Keep a litter box right by the bedding so that the kittens don't have to travel very far. The mother should nurse them on her own so that won't be a problem. Don't forget to love on the mother just as much as you would the kittens.

Give them a box big enough for Mom to spread out and a couple of clean towels in the bottom, you should change and wash the bedding every day or two. Baby kitties poop. The Mother will usually clean up after them, yes I know, ICK.
Their Mom will take care of them, just see that she is fed and watered and can get to a litter box. Trust her, Mother cats have raised their babies forever without us.
They will nurse for 6 to 8 weeks before they will eat food from a bowl. At about 6 to 8 weeks they will need shots and maybe worming.
Have fun.

We have this all the time. What you should do is keep the mom and the kittens together most of the time. Keep them is a cage or something inside so the mom will give them milk. DONT touch them when there eyes aren't open. If you need them inside pick them up with a clean towel so the mom will not abandon them because of a human smell. When they get biger and their eyes are open, then start giving them kitten food and regular water. But they will still drink their mothers milk. Thats all you have to do. Enjoy your kittens.
PS I would get them nutered and declawed if I were you.

Don't trust Ismaily ...never, ever, ever! Not if those kittens really mean anything to you. He couldn't take care of his pet ant. He doesn't even bother to ask how Stomp is doing. How on earth is he going to take care of a poor adorable little kitten? If he comes anywhere near them call PETA immediately. Better yet, call the police! They'll teach him not to mess around with those poor kittens!

If it is "syamy", give one to me. I will take good care.
Edit:
Farah,
When I was young, I had a tortoise who lived for 8 years until I gave it back to the pet store because it affected my brain.
I also had a fish tank in which fish reproduced for 3 generations until my little nephew was born and decided to turn the fish tank into his own private bath-tub.
I also had pigeons, sparrows, hedghogs, rabbits, snails and chicks" literal ones not the figure of speech".
What you have ?

Feed the mum good quality food. Give a quiet and safe place. When the kittens are weaned HAVE HER AND THE KITTENS SPAYED AND NEUTERED. Don't be selfish- have it done. If you can't afford to spay and neuter- then you can't afford to have pets.
