Parenting- the environment you give at home is the best training for him : so keep building on it-

The Task of Parenting.

 Little did we know that the technologically  savvy world would impose such a big challenge on the upbringing of children .The artificial dazzle of media and technology has made it very difficult for the parents to raise children on the right lines.

 Nevertheless this Hadith gives all parents a great inspiration:

 an infant is born on the FITHRAH(the true nature of Islam) it is his parents who make him a Jew or a Christian ...
Sahih Muslim- Kitab ul Qadr .
So let each parent be assured and be confident that every child has the  islamic inclination and fibre by default in his innate nature .
This hope and faith shall bring shall be a big asset for parents in their task of parenting and shall also bring in positivity in their approach .

The second aspect highlighted in this hadith is of  great importance in the present scenario .The fact that has been highlighted therein is about the importance of parents and their method of parenting .The early education and upbringing of the child which begins in the lap of the mother is like stone work which is everlasting and extremely strong. Just as a child learns the mother tongue without any extra training and effort similarly he picks up the essentials of the Shariah and Sunnah from the environment at home .

Besides what is of real importance for parents is their ardent desire and duas to see their offsprings grow up as God fearing moomins.
 The unequalled Spiritual excellence of Bibi Mariam was actually initiated by the ardent ardent desire of her  mother
انى نذرت لك ما فى بطنى محررا(أل عمران)
 that she vowed to dedicate her offspring to the service of The Almighty :Subhaanallah!h the result was the pious virgin BiBi Mariyam who was spoken of in the Holy Quran with such rare reverence and dignity.

 So while we  move forward towards achieving success in this challenging task of parenting ,we need to hold on to these basic principles:

 1. Be sure that your child has the feature of Islam as his innate nature :
 so keep working at it .
2. the environment you give at home is the best training for him : so keep building on it.
3.The duas of the parents  in the interest of their children will never go unanswered, so keep praying hard.

Being accessible, lenient, tender, and easy to get along with

 - Ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shall I not inform of whom Hellfire is forbidden for? Or he is forbidden for Hellfire? It is forbidden for someone who is accessible, lenient, tender, and easy to get along with."     [Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by At-Termedhy - Narrated by Ahmad] الشرح Shall I not inform you of whom Hellfire is forbidden to burn? It is forbidden for he who is accessible to people, who sits with them in the places of worship, and treat them kindly to the best of his ability; and he who is forbearing, lenient, and tolerant in dealing with them.

How does Allah Ta’ala increase when He accepts the sadaqah!:

- It is a story from 1282 Hijri, that is, 160 years ago. There was a noble and righteous woman named Munira in the city of Buraidah, Saudi Arabia. She intended to bequeath her jewellery to her brother before she died and instructed him to buy a shop from that money. Whatever income would come from this shop would be spent to fulfill the needs of masakeen.  After her death, her brother sold the jewellery and bought a shop in the name of his sister, which was worth twelve riyals according to the currency of the period. He rented the shop and the rent money was used to attend to the needs of masakeen. This continued for nearly 100 years. After 100 years, the monthly rent of the shop had reached 15,000 riyals and through this money more things were provided for the needy. Then came the day when the Saudi government decided to expand the Mosque of Buraidah and decided to acquire land and shops within the vicinity of the expansion site. The shop of the deceased woman was within the bound...

Isra was the beloved’s ﷺ journey from Makkah to Jerusalem, and Meraj was that from Jerusalem to the Heavens. •        This chapter also mentions in detail many incidents of Bani Israel. •        Allah’s wisdom behind taking Prophet Muhammed ﷺ to Jerusalem was to grant him and his followers the custodianship of Masjid al-Aqsa, just like that of Masjid al-Haraam in Makkah.  •        Though this chapter is themed at Tawheed, morals, affirmation of the Doomsday, but it also focuses on messengership, and particularly in that of Prophet Muhammed’s ﷺ. •        The ...

Quran Juz 7 – Wa Iza Sami’u - Summary:

 - Quran Juz 7 – Wa Iza Sami’u Summary Join Us: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EwGX2NFn95O2Bo92HkyyiI • Allah talks about those Christians who cannot control their tears when they listen to the Qur’anic recitation. This was especially in context to Najashi Ash’amah, the Christian King of Habsha who had accepted Islam. • From Verses 87 of Surah Maidah the topics like Halal & Haram and extremism are discussed. • Islam is a religion of balance. It neither calls for abstention of permissible items (for drinking, eating, wearing etc.) as piety, nor does it abolish the distinction between Halal & Haram. • Verse 89 talks about oaths (qasm/aqd). The penalty of breaking the oath is to either feed 10 poor and needy, twice, with an average food of his/her usual intake (cost wise), or to clothe them, or to free a slave.

Allaah did not call him Khaleel after a single moment. The friendship ripened through repeated surrender, across fire and desert and stone:

 - Allaah did not call him Khaleel after a single moment. The friendship ripened through repeated surrender, across fire and desert and stone. - Taqwa, when it matures in the crucible of trial, is the precise and correct ordering of the loves within a heart. It is the absolute knowledge of which love sits upon the throne, and which loves, however deep, however true, however entirely lawful, must bow beneath it.  - Tawakkul is the heart’s genuine reliance upon Allaah as the sole ultimate cause of all things, combined with the employment of every legitimate means. Islam teaches freedom from servitude to causes without teaching contempt for them. It is the settled condition of a heart that has understood that creation possesses only delegated force. What burns burns because it is permitted to burn; what heals heals because it is permitted to heal. No thing in creation holds or withholds what belongs solely to the Creator. - Hasbunallaahu wa ni’mal Wakeel. Allaah is sufficient for...

Treasure of happiness and success:

An old woman used to stand in front of the Masjid🕌 everyday begging for money. One day, the Imam of the Masjid🕌 asked her, "Why are you standing here and you are from a good family and your son is a good man?" The old woman replied, "As you know, I have only one son, and my husband died years ago. My son travelled eight months ago and left me some money💰 to spend on my needs, but by now I have spent it all and must resort to begging." The Imam said, "Your son.. doesn't he send you money💰?" The old woman replied, "Every month📆 he sends me a coloured picture which I kiss and stick on the wall for remembrance." The Imam decided to visit her house 🏠. He got a big surprise when he saw 8 cheques on the wall, each for a thousand 💵 dollars, and realized the old woman didn't know what wealth she had because she was illiterate. This may seem like a really stra...
