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
ุงู†ู‰ ู†ุฐุฑุช ู„ูƒ ู…ุง ูู‰ ุจุทู†ู‰ ู…ุญุฑุฑุง(ุฃู„ ุนู…ุฑุงู†)
 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.

Slicing Through the Ego: The Internal Qurbani:

 - # Beyond the Sacrifice: What is Your "Ismail" This Eid ul Adha? ๐ŸŒ™ **Eid Mubarak!** ๐ŸŒ™ Every year, as the global Muslim community gathers to celebrate Eid ul Adha, our focus naturally turns to the tradition of *Qurbani* (sacrifice). We prepare the animals, distribute the meat, and share meals with family and neighbors. But if we pause and look past the physical rituals, a profound spiritual question emerges. **Eid ul Adha is not just about sacrificing an animal. It is about sacrificing whatever stands between you and Allah.** ## The True Essence of Qurbani: Trust Over Fear When Prophet Ibrahim (AS) left his wife, Hajara (AS), and their infant son in the barren desert of Makkah, he didn’t leave them in fear—he left them in absolute, unwavering trust of Allah. And years later, when he raised the knife above his beloved son, Ismail (AS), it wasn't an act of cruelty. It was the ultimate demonstration of submitting his will to the Divine. > **The realization:** The knife...

The Last Sermon (Khutbah) of Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ (Farewell Sermon):

 - The Last Sermon (Khutbah) of Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ (Farewell Sermon) Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ delivered His ๏ทบ last sermon (Khutbah) on the ninth of Dhul Hijjah (12th and last month of the Islamic year), 10 years after Hijrah (migration from Makkah to Madinah) in the Uranah Valley of Mount Arafat. His ๏ทบ words were quite clear and concise and were directed to the entire humanity. After praising, and thanking Allah He ๏ทบ said: “O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and TAKE THESE WORDS TO THOSE WHO COULD NOT BE PRESENT HERE TODAY. O People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your LORD, and that HE will indeed reckon your deeds.  AL...

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...

He says that a human goes away from Him when He blesses him, but prays at length when any trouble reaches him. And when Allah eradicates his trouble, the human then boasts it and credits it to his mastery and starts denying the establishment of Doomsday. And even if he believes in its establishment, he wishfully thinks to possess Allah’s blessings there too.  • The chapter ends with the declaration of the truthfulness of the Holy Quran • Surah Shura: Sura means advice or consultation.  • This chapter says that the people of Allah settle their important matters and issues by seeking advice and consultations.  • Th...

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. If someone cannot do it, he/she should fast on three days. Allah also advices to be true on oaths to be safe from getting penalized. • If a person takes an oath of...
