بچوں میں مطالعے کا شوق: کچھ باتیں

بچوں میں مطالعے کا شوق: کچھ باتیں
تحریر: نجم الہدیٰ ثانی

میرا مشاہدہ ہے کہ مسلم گھرانوں میں مطالعہ کا شوق بہت کم ہوتا ہے۔ اچھے خاصے اعلیٰ تعلیم یافتہ لوگ بھی اس نعمت سے محروم نظرآتے ہیں۔ لوک ڈاؤن میں لوگوں کے پاس وقت کی کمی نہیں ہے۔ تھوڑی سی توجہ سے ہم بچوں میں مطالعے کا رجحان پیدا کرسکتے ہیں۔ ٹی وی اورموبائل فون کے دورمیں یہ کام آسان نہیں لیکن یہ کرنے کا کام ہے۔ مطالعے کا شوق ان کی شخصیت میں چارچاند بھی لگائے گا اور، ان شاء اللہ، ان کی کامیابی کا ضامن بھی ہوگا۔ اس سلسلے میں چند باتیں پیش خدمت ہیں:
ا۔ خود بھی مطالعہ کی عادت ڈالیں۔ (یہ سب سے مشکل شرط ہے۔ :) 
2۔ اپنے رویے اورگفتگو کے ذریعے کتابوں اورمطالعے کی اہمیت بچوں کے ذہن نشین کریں۔
3۔ بچوں کوقصے کہانیوں اورنظموں کی کتابیں تحفے میں دیں۔ ان پران کے لئے اپنی تحریرمیں ضرورکچھ لکھیں اورتاریخ ڈالنا مت بھولیں۔ 
4۔ ہردن تھوڑا سا وقت بچوں کے ساتھ مطالعہ میں گذاریں۔ خودپڑھیں اوراپنے پڑھنے کوبچوں کی عمراوران کی نفسیات کے اعتبارسے دلچسپ بنائیں۔
5۔ پڑھنے میں جلدی نہ کریں۔ بچوں کی ذہنی سطح کا خیال رکھیں اورپڑھنے کووعظ و نصیحت یا بچوں میں معلومات 'انڈیلنے' کی جلدی بازی میں بوجھل نہ بنائیں۔ اس سے بچے بہت جلد اکتا جائیں گے اورمطالعے اورکتابوں سے دوربھاگنے لگیں گے۔ 
6۔ پڑھتے وقت بچوں کی توجہ کو باندھ کررکھنے کی کوشش کریں۔ اس کے لئے ضروری ہے کہ ان کو پڑھنے کے عمل میں شریک کیا جائے: مثلاً، جو کچھ پڑھا جارہا ہو اس کے بارے میں بچوں سے سوالات کرتے رہئے، اپنی نظریں مسلسل کتاب پرمرکوز مت رکھئے بلکہ تھوڑے تھوڑے وقفے سے ان کی طرف دیکھئے، مسکرائیے، کبھی بیچ میں رک کرکوئی لطیفہ سنائیے، کبھی درمیان میں رک کران کا پسندیدہ چاکلیٹ یا کوئی مشروب ان کے لئے منگوائیے، کبھی ان سے کچھ سنئے، کہانی کوان کی زندگی اوران کی دلچسپیوں سے جوڑکردکھائیے۔ 
7۔ اس دوران اپنا موبائل فون بندرکھئے یا اسے 'سائلنٹ موڈ' پرکردیجئے۔ 
6۔ کتابوں کےانتخاب میں بچوں کی عمراوردلچسپیوں کا خیال ضروررکھئے۔ قصے کہانیوں کی کتابیں بچوں کو سب سے زیادہ پسند آتی ہیں، اس کا خیال رکھیں۔ 
8۔ بچوں کے لئے مواد کے انتخاب میں تنوع کو بھرپورجگہ دیجئے۔ بھوت پریت، جادوئی اورپریوں کی کہانیاں بچوں کو بہت پسند ہوتی ہیں۔ ان کے ذریعے بچوں میں تخیل کی صلاحیت پروان چڑھانے کی کوشش کیجئے۔ 
9۔ کبھی کبھی بچوں سے کہئے کہ وہ خود اپنی کہانی سنائیں۔ یہ کہانی زبانی سنائیں تو بہتر ہے۔ کہانی بنانے میں ان کو، ابتداء میں، آپ کی مدد کی ضرورت ہوگی۔ ان کی مدد کریں لیکن سب کے سامنے کریڈٹ ان کی کوشش اورمحنت کودیں۔ بچوں کی حوصلہ افزائی کے لئے انہیں نئی کتاب خرید کردیں، ان کی پسندیدہ ڈش بناکرکھلائیں، ان کے پسندیدہ کھیل کے لئے متعینہ وقت میں اضافہ کردیں، وغیرہ۔ 
10۔ وقت بہت تیزی سے بدل رہا ہے۔ روزبدلنے والی ٹکنالوجی کا اپنے بچوں سے تعارف کی ذمہ داری ہم خود اٹھالیں توبہت سے زحمتوں سے بچ سکتے ہیں۔ مطالعے اورکتابوں سے متعلق بہت سی 'ایپ' اورسائٹس ہیں۔ ان سے اپنی نگرانی میں بچوں کا تعارف کرائیں۔ کنڈل نے مطالعے کے پرانے تصورکوبدل دیا ہے۔ اس سے بھی بچوں کو ضرورمتعارف کرائیں۔ ان کے لئے کچھ کتابیں اپنے کنڈل پرضرورمحفوظ کرکے رکھیں۔ اس سلسلے میں کامکس پڑھنے، اوربہت چھوٹے بچوں کودکھانے، کی حوصلہ افزائی کریں۔ کامکس بچوں کے اندران کی تخلیقی صلاحیتوں کو مہمیزدینے میں اہم کردارادا کرتا ہے۔

Slicing Through the Ego: The Internal Qurbani:

 - # Beyond the Sacrifice: What is Your "Ismail" This Eid ul Adha? 🌙 **Eid Mubarak!** 🌙 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...

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...

The Last Sermon (Khutbah) of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Farewell Sermon):

 - The Last Sermon (Khutbah) of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Farewell Sermon) Prophet Muhammad ﷺ delivered His ﷺ 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 ﷺ words were quite clear and concise and were directed to the entire humanity. After praising, and thanking Allah He ﷺ 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...

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. 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...

Don’t fall into being from those who are unjust and falsely assume:

 - ASSUME GOOD OF PEOPLE: 🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸 A girl willingly jumps into a car after the male driver who sees her walking in the streets tells her to get in. 🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸 A man walks into a mosque while everyone is praying to wash his hands and leaves it without joining the prayer. 🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸 A teenage boy is greeted by a passerby but doesn’t return the Salam. 🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸 - 1st scenario: the driver was the girl’s brother - 2nd scenario: the man had already prayed in a mosque nearby which finished earlier - 3rd scenario: the teenage boy is deaf 🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸 Many people will fall into this trap of assuming bad of others. How can a girl ever agree to ride with her guy friend, how can a man dare to enter a mosque and leave without joining in on prayer and how can young boy not have respect and answer back the greeting. 🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸 A scholar once said: “If I see my brother and his beard is dripping alcohol...

The salaf would be happy and optimistic when worldly difficulties stuck them:

-  Worldly Difficulties | - The Salaf would be happy and optimistic when something of this world became difficult for them. I never quite understood this statement. Were they happy and optimistic because a difficulty meant eventual ease, as is Allāh’s promise? Was it out of anticipation of a fulfilment of a worldly need? Or was there something more to it? Then it occurred to me after many years of returning to this statement that a man who sets out to find work and finds it easily and effortlessly is a man who misses out on a grand opportunity of begging Allāh and raising his worries and concerns to Him. The man who faces road blocks inevitably finds himself humble, submissive and desperate at the door of Allāh ﷻ. A man who goes in search of a job, a wife, a car, a home, some wealth and gets it readily each and every time isn’t necessarily successful. A man who can easily dip into his plentiful resources and fulfil a need perhaps misses out on the opportunity of turning to Allāh in...
