Protecting our young children from the worldly dirt/desires around us:

Thoughts from Umm Khalid:

Yesterday, I went to a store with a friend, and there was a very friendly older woman behind the counter who chatted with us. She seemed eager to talk, so for several minutes, we obliged her. We got to talking about kids.

"How many kids do you each have?" she asked us.

"Three," my friend answered.

"Four," I answered.

"Wow! Having 3 or 4 kids is hard! Yeah, my daughter has 4 kids too. Her youngest is a 7-year-old daughter, who's so cute! You wanna see her? Here, I have some adorable videos of her on my phone!"

She was a proud grandma who was dying to talk about and show off her granddaughter. My friend and I smiled, and looked on with friendly interest as she pulled out her phone.

But much to my consternation, I watched this grandmother pull up video after video on TikTok of this 7-year-old granddaughter dancing, lip syncing, and twerking to pop music and rap songs! With explicit lyrics, about sexual topics and about going to the club and drinking. This innocent young child was singing along and dancing to Rihanna's "Rude Boy," Beyonce's "Single Ladies," and other filth.

I looked on in disbelief.

My own oldest child is almost 8 years old. It made my heart hurt to see how this child of a similar age was singing and moving in such an adult-like way. It made me incredibly sad.

"She just loves TikTok! Isn't she so cute?? She's really something!" The grandmother said, laughing.

I tried to hide my unease. "She's really something," I echoed, unwilling to praise such behavior but not wanting to offend this proud, beaming grandmother.

As I thought about this incident as we left, I wondered how the grandmother, and also the parents, of this 7-year-old girl allowed her to make these highly sexualized vidoes and actually post them publicly on TikTok.

How do they not recognize the erosion of innocence of this child?

How are they comfortable with the explicit lyrics and the overtly sexual nature of the dance moves?

How are they fine with strangers, unknown adults all over the internet, watching their young daughter move in such a way, enjoying the sight of her, thinking sick thoughts about her?

Society is pushing us firmly and aggressively in this direction. It's a comprehensive agenda, a social engineering tactic. To create a generation of highly sexualized young kids in a hyper-sexualized modern society.

It's a deliberate, concerted effort. An organized attack on childhood, innocence, purity.

Have you heard of the new show that Netflix is pushing these days?

It's called Cuties, and it's about an 11-year-old Muslim girl who tries to fit into American society by learning to twerk and dance suggestively and sexually. The show is so sexual and so explicit that Netflix gave it a rating of "MA," for mature audiences only, meaning that viewers of this show should be 18 years or older to watch it.

You need to be 18 years old to watch this 11-year-old.

This young Muslim girl.

لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله.

There is no might or power except with Allah.

Parents of Muslim children, protect your children!

Its Hajj time: Remembering the meaning of sacrifice and sincerity:

*Peace be upon Prophet Ibraheem* Allah ordered him to take his family to a barren desert which had no inhabitants, no food, no water, and no means of provision. He didn't doubt or ponder. He obeyed. Allah ordered him to leave his wife and baby child in the blazing heat. He didn't think or doubt. He obeyed. Later on, Allāh instructed to sacrificed his child. He obeyed. You know the only thing Prophet Ibrahim's wife asked, "Was it Allah who ordered you to do this?" - That's it, she did not look at the pleasure of the world. She looked at the pleasure of Allah. She clutched onto her newborn whilst staring at an empty desert and it only increased her in conviction. You know how beloved her action was to Allah? thousands of years later, people give up everything to go to Makkah in order to imitate her and to quench their thirsts with Zam Zam - and they will be doing this until the last day. You know how accepted Sayyiduna Ibrahim's act of sincerity was? Peopl...

Allah will test us to show the true among us and what we are made of:

- STORY 22 - Uncle Mohammad Uncle Mohammad was a taxi driver in Makkah; he lived in an area called al-Jomoom about 20 miles outside the city limits. He was a hard-working man with a big family to support. He had always dreamt of being rich, not only so he could take better care of his family, but as he often expressed, to fulfil his desire to donate large sums for the sake of Allah. One day, he said to his friend, “ You know what? I need to stop waiting to be rich to give more for Allah. I am starting this week.” The friend asked, "What will you do?" Uncle Mohammad already had a plan, and his plan was simple. He decided to assign one day a month for the sake of Allah. He would not charge passengers any money that day. All rides would be free for the sake of Allah. The taxi driver was struggling with all the expenses related to his taxi license, taxes, home expenses, etc. The taxi business was already suffering. It was not like it used to be in Makk...
