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!

Parents should not depend on others for the correct upbringing of their children, they should take responsibility themselves:

A pattern and rule for the house. Dr Abdul Kareem Bakkaar from Syria famous for his sayings, an author of more than 40 books, who taught in most of the universities in Saudi Arabia. He mentions: Parents should not depend on others for the correct upbringing of their children, they should take responsibility themselves and make the children responsible for their own good character. It will be good if parents make some light rules in the house so that the children can understand the importance of fulfilling responsibilities and good character can become part of their lives. Parents should take what is relavent for them and if they so wish, change and add some points. 1. Every person in the house should perform Salaah on it’s correct time. 2. "Please" and "Jazakallah" are of utmost importance, no one will be exempt from using it. 3. Hitting, fighting, swearing and cursing will not be tolerated. 4. Your thinking and views will be presented with complete respe...

An annual conference for education development (18th Conference):

* 18th Annual Millat Conference (by MFERD)* #* Perform to Potential*# - Building Holistic Education Systems Dear Brother/Sister, Assalamu Alaikum All praise is to the Almighty Lord who created us and bestowed upon us the title of ‘Khalifa’, His vicegerent on earth. This implies that every individual has the ‘potential’ to perform the duties of the Almighty’s vicegerent. Unfortunately, due to several internal and external hindrances, man doesn’t live up to his potential. Similar is the case of our institutions. In the present world scenario, firmly anchoring and strengthening our educational institutions is of prime importance. It is probably the only way to create a collectively contributing ummah, that can positively influence the future of societies and countries. A handful of schools providing holistic education can significantly change the outlook of an entire city. Such is the potential of educational institutions. But the challenge lies in developing systems and practices (a...

Story of 2.5%

One day, a very wealthy man was walking on the road. Along the way, he saw a beggar on the sidewalk. The rich man looked kindly at the beggar and asked him why he was begging. The beggar said, "Sir, I've been unemployed for a year now. You look like a rich man. Sir, if you'll give me a job, I'll stop begging." The rich man smiled and said, "I want to help you. But I won't give you a job. I'll do something better. I want you to be my business partner. Let's start a business together. The beggar blinked hard. "What do you mean, Sir? "I own a rice plantation. You could sell my rice in the market. I'll provide you the sacks of rice. I'll pay the rent for the market stall.. All you'll have to do is sell my rice. And at the end of the month, as Business Partners, we'll share in the profits. Tears of joy rolled down his cheeks. Do I keep 5% and you get 95%? I'll be happy with any arrangement.

Speaking in soft positive manner would not cost you anything but would enchant those you speak to and get rid of any ill feelings:

There was once a king who saw in a dream that all his teeth had fallen out. He called a dream-interpreter, told him what he saw in the dream, and asked him to interpret it. When the interpreter heard the dream, his complexion changed and he began to repeat, “Allāh’s refuge is sought! Allāh’s refuge is sought!” The king became worried and asked, “What is the interpretation of my dream?” The interpreter said, “After many years pass, your wife and children will die and you will be all alone in your kingdom!” The king screamed, became furious, and began to hurl abuses and insults. He then ordered that the interpreter be imprisoned and called another interpreter, related to him what he saw in the dream and asked him for its interpretation. The dream-interpreter smiled and said, “Glad tidings, dear king!” The king said, “What is the interpretation of the dream?” The interpreter said, “It means that you will live for very long – so long that you will be the last of your family to die, an...

NASEEHA to ME and YOU!!

OUR PHONES ...................... One of the hardest task in this 21st century is for the youths to spend 30 mins without "touching" their phones! Almost everyone is now a phone addict. It's the last thing you touch before you sleep at night. It's the first thing you touch when you wake up at dawn Some even put earpiece on their ears overnight. Some still wake at night to download films but they can't wake up for tahajud. Some are always "online" chatting. As early as 6am they are online and they remain online till midnight. They have thousands of friends online whom they chat with but they don't relate with their families at home. They isolate themselves in their rooms. Some argue till midnight about aqeedah issues, yet by fajr time, he is sleeping and snoring. Immediately after the tasleem in salat, you see people pressing their phones again, no time for adhkaar! As if all their past and future sins have already been forgiven! When a...
