The fitrah is already there when the child arrives. Your job as a parent is to protect it:

 - "We were hit and we turned out fine." Hamein to maar parhi. Hum to bilkul sahi hain. Gen Z is too soft. Maarna to pyar ki nishani hai. Allah ne permission di hai. Okay. Let's open that permission letter together. Because I want you to read what it actually says. THE HADITH PARENTS QUOTE TO DEFEND HITTING. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Command your children to pray when they become seven years old, and beat them for it when they become ten years old; and arrange their beds separately." (Sunan Abu Dawud 495 — graded Hasan) Now let's stay in the text. Because the text has been misread for generations. It says command at seven. Not hit. Command, teach, encourage. For three full years. Patience first. Always. It says at ten there is a permission. One permission. For one thing. Prayer. Not talking back. Not spilling juice. Not embarrassing you in front of your mother-in-law. Not being too loud. Not being soft. Prayer. That's it. And even then classical sc...

A child doesn’t break loudly. It happens quietly:

 - Be honest with yourself for a moment… When you see a child struggling… angry… insecure… constantly seeking attention… do you ever stop and ask, what did they grow up around? Who was present… and who wasn’t? Who listened… and who dismissed? Who loved… and who controlled? The Prophet ﷺ didn’t just speak about worship… he spoke about responsibility. كُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ Each of you is responsible… and each of you will be questioned. And Allah didn’t say fix the world. He said protect your families. قُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا This is where it begins. A child doesn’t break loudly. It happens quietly… in the way they start doubting themselves… in the way they stop feeling safe… in the way they look for love in the wrong places. So ask yourself… What is your home producing? Because one day… your child will become someone’s spouse… someone’s parent… someone who shapes the world. And whatever you planted… will not stay inside your home. Source...

“Jo Allah chahe woh hokar rehta hai.”

 - ---------- Bhiwandi  ka Safar ya Baseerat ka Safar Jab “Mā shā’ Allāhu kān” ke raaz khulte hain ✍️ Qalam se: Mufti Muhammad Suheb Usmani Qasmi ⸻ 🌙 Muqaddima: Jab naqis hazri ilm ka aaghaz ban jaye Baaz mulaqatein kitaabon ke safaḥat nahi hotin, balkeh dil ke waraq ban jaati hain. Jo aaj ki maadi daur mein taqrīban “Impossible” sa lagta hai, woh ek faqeer ki zindagi mein yun mumkin hua ke murshid ki shafqat ne sawari ka bahaana banaya aur ma‘rifat ka darwaza khol diya. Is hafte, is faqeer ki  Bhiwandi hazri apne murshid muhtaram ki khidmat mein hui. Hazrat ne kamaal-e-shafqat se apni do paiye ki sawari (scooter) par is kam ilm ko bithaya, aur apne khaas muta‘alliq Janab Bhai Usama Sahib ki teemardari (visiting the sick) ke liye tashreef le gaye. Wahan bistar-e-‘ilalat ke qareeb, guftagu ke dauran jab insani zu‘f (human weakness) aur mujahidana ‘ajz (spiritual humility) ka zikr aaya, to Hazrat ne aasmani khazane ka ek darwaza khola aur ye du‘a zaban-e-mubarak se ada far...

The Prayer That Shook My Soul: Finding Gratitude in the Ruins:

 - I went to a masjid today that wasn't marked by towering minarets or grand domes. It was a humble prayer space tucked away inside the quiet confines of an old-age home campus. Places like these carry a specific kind of atmosphere. The air feels heavier, often thick with unspoken memories, quiet resignation, and the lingering echo of lives that once roared with activity but have now slowed to a whisper. I went there simply to offer my obligatory prayers. I left carrying a lesson that will stay engraved on my heart forever. As I stood in the rows, preparing myself, I found myself next to an elderly man. He was frail, his posture bent by the weight of time. He was an "inmate" here—a clinical word that felt too harsh for the gentle, weathered face I glimpsed. Later, I would learn the fragments of his story. He was a survivor of the brutal COVID era, a period that had swept through his life like a wildfire, taking almost his entire family with it. He was left behind in the a...

Discipline is not oppression, it is love in action:

 - *The Perils of Pampering: Raising Disciplined, God-Conscious Children*   In a world that glorifies instant gratification, indulgence, and materialism, we risk raising a generation that lacks resilience, respect, and responsibility. The saying, *"A pampered child becomes a spoiled adult,"* holds profound truth. If we fail to discipline our children today, we may find ourselves helplessly watching them struggle tomorrow or worse, witnessing them turn into entitled, inconsiderate adults.   *Discipline is not oppression, it is love in action*. It is the framework that shapes a child’s character, teaching them that life does not always bend to their will. If we refuse to instill these values at home, the world will teach them often in ways we would never approve of.   Islam places immense emphasis on disciplined upbringing. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:   > *"Command your children to pray at the age of seven, and discipline them for it at t...

The moment we realize that everything happens by the will of Allaah, all our worries begin to fade away:

 - (external source) 🌷 *Whatever Allaah does......it's for our best*🌷 When my daughter was 2 years old, she loved to play with the water in the toilet bowl.  Yes, that's right.... *the toilet bowl!!* Yuck!!  That's nasty...you would say!!  But to *her*, that was the *delight of the day!*  Splish...splash!  To her innocent mind, there was nothing like it!  And so when I would prevent her from playing with it, she would scream and cry and wouldn't want to stop.  She didn't understand how harmful that was for her.  In her little brain, I took away something that she really enjoyed.   And when I would take her to the doctor to have her immunization shots, she wouldn't understand that either.  She would *howl* at the top of her lungs at the first sight of the needle and would run the other way.  It would take two of us just to hold her down!  To her, it was nothing but *torture*!  Her innocent little mind...
