RESPONSIBILITY OF PARENTS TOWARDS THEIR CHILDREN During the time of one's pregnancy, we wait every day for improvements of our fetus, until it's born. From a fetus to growth in the mother's womb, each ultrasound report excites us, especially for a mother. It gives her satisfaction and excitement, that her baby is improving, and is in a normal situation. Who is the one who gives life to the fetus? And who is the one who enables the fetus to think, listen, see, and hear, as we all know it truly it is only Allah. The mother can do nothing, and is not the one who develops the baby. At the time of birth, how excited are the parents for that baby. They would go and buy clothing and every single thing in order to keep their child in the best condition. And as the baby starts to grow, parents would care about everything from its eating and wearing. Day and night, each scream of the baby, the parents would run and would want to know what can they do to make the baby relaxed. How fast do we forget about the favor of Allah, who has given this child in our trust? And this child's generation can either be lead towards heaven or hell, its up to us what direction do we want to put this child towards. Regardless if we live in an African jungle, or live in America, or any where else in the world. The way the baby sees the direction and appreciation from the parents, it responds and learns accordingly, because a baby is a blank tape. Now see how Satan works with us, as soon as the baby starts to pick and develop it's brain, we make sure our baby knows it's alphabets of abcd, and we make sure that the child responds "excuse me" and "sorry" and in some cases they also teach "good morning, afternoon, and evening". Those meaningless manners came from the enemies of Allah and his Prophet. What is the meaning of excuse me and sorry? There really is no meaning, and you can see the direction of the child, when he follows these manners. For example, cheating has become smartness nowadays in society, whether it would be in business, or in daily dealings. And if someone has been cheated by someone else for years, and they find out then they simply would justify it by saying sorry, and the person who was cheated with would be satisfied that he said sorry. Or if someone is hurt, the best way to heal it is saying sorry. Any practicing Muslim who was trained according to Islamic law, his conscious comes before he cheats or steals from anyone. In order to remind him that the price of cheating anyone is only from Allah, so by following Islam this world has a balance and in control. Instead of us teaching the manners from the prophet's examples, such as greeting one another with salaam, and the dua for waking up. We wake up realizing the power of Allah who has given us life back in our bodies, or realizing the oneness of Allah and he has no partners in his majesty. Then realizing his blessed messenger. Because the way we were trained was done in a wrong way, when we wake up all we do is we start to worry about our day tasks only and challenges towards this world, and we completely ignore Allah. What guarantee do we have that we will see light of the next morning? Will we see it in this world, or in the grave? Truly everything is only in the hands of Allah. Or teaching our child about the dua for going to the restroom, seeking refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan. Today our restrooms are so decorated that it feels like a living room, and people rest their and read their magazines and newspapers. And most songs are sung in the restrooms, and they do all kinds of acting in front of the mirror, in order to waste their times in the restrooms. Because most of us were trained that way, so as a result we train our children in the same manner. We give the child a book while he is getting training on how to use the washroom, instead of reading any dua in front of the child, in order for him to adopt it. Then we take our brush and paste, which breaks another sunnah. Satan gives us the idea, how will this wood stick, miswak work for me and my child in this industrial age? Without realizing, that the actions of our blessed Prophet come only from Allah. Our body is only chemistry, and that wood stick, miswak, when you chew it you get over twenty antibiotics from their. If you go and ask any dentist, toothpaste only gives temporary refreshment. And the idea of a toothbrush was learned from lifestyle of the Prophet, the miswak. Instead of us developing the phrase of wudhu in the child's mind, we ask the child, did you wash your face? For Muslims, when it come cleanliness without wudhu, the person cannot be purified. And to realize the meaning of the dua for wudhu, that we ask Allah to make us amongst the people who are obedient and pure. If you start with bismillah, and read the dua of wudhu in front of your child all the time. That I bear witness that is no one worthy of worshipping except Allah, and Allah is alone, and he has no partners. And I bear witness that the Prophet Muhammed is the slave and messenger of Allah. Oh Allah keep me with those who seek your forgiveness, and with those who are seeking purity. And as soon as the baby reaches to age four, it goes to junior kindergarten, and some earlier than that go to day care centers for 8-10 hours. Education is the most important thing for mankind, which can misguide a person here and lead him towards hell in the hereafter. For example, when we send kids in public school without thinking what would happen to his dhuhr or Friday prayer, and he would be moving with those who do not practice in the Islamic world, and in the non-Islamic world most of them are non-Muslims. 75% of worldly education would be in the mind for those who call themselves as practicing, so we can imagine the situation of those who are not practicing. And the entire foundation is based on education for here and the hereafter. Please, those who are the enemies of Allah and his prophet, kaafirs, what result will we have if they become the teacher of our children. And the knowledge they have are against Allah and his Prophet, what will they feed in the mind of our children? All they will do is involve the child in this world, with attractions from Satan, what they learn and were trained for. The Blessed Prophet has given us guidance, and taught us at the first seven years of our child to play with the child. Why? In order for our child to adopt our actions and lifestyle. Because if our actions are according to the Qur'an and the Sunnah. The baby would look for activities at home, which is according to the Qur'an and the Sunnah. As we all know, the actions and sayings of the Prophet were from Allah alone, and Allah never leaves things in the middle, verily he is the most accurate and precise, and the all knower of the future. So the training program of our blessed Prophet can never be obsolete, no matter what time we may live in. Satan works hard with us, even today if you go to the Muslim and non-Muslim world, most Muslims have dreams for their child to go to non-Muslim missionary schools. And they are under the impression, they are educating their child in the best way. In order to pay the high school fees, they will cut down there living, and are proud in society that their child is going in the best missionary school in the country. This has become competition amongst Muslims, and they are ready to pay any price in order for their child to stay there. Most of us are satisfied that their child has finished reading the Qur'an, 23 years hard work of our blessed Prophet, with all tortures and difficulties he went through, in order to transfer the best system to mankind, which is only certified by Allah, the most-high. We claim to be Muslims, however our actions show that we are the enemies of the Prophet's actions. Our lifestyle and training program towards our children is against the law and will of Allah. We are satisfied that my child sometimes prays five times, and finished his Qur'an. In Canada in order to become a lawyer, as we know it takes about nineteen to twenty years, in order to learn what law is and how to understand it. The laws of the Qur'an came to mankind, learning it only in the special language of the Qur'an, in Arabic, and completely ignoring the entire law. * If your child becomes a lawyer, and studies the law in a foreign language, but does not understand it. Then please tell me how will he perform and implement the law in his lifestyle or tell others? In order to save others from criminal activities. This is the case of Muslims today, we have no clue of the direction we are going towards. The teachings of the Prophet are looking outdated to them, Muslims who were the teachers of this world, became slaves to activities of Satan. And have no other choice to follow the system of this Satanic lifestyle, with a label of a modern lifestyle. Because when any nation leaves the laws of Allah behind, and the examples of the Prophet, then the result is similar to that of the Jews and Christians. For example, Satan has made Muslims busy for the entire week, but on Friday they run for prayer. Friday the mosques are busy, Saturday the synagogue are busy, and on Sunday the churches are busy. They are lost, and want to make sure their child is also lost. |
