THE UPBRINGING OF A

CHILD

As firm believers in the Islām ic faith we

all hope and wish that when we leave this

world and return to the Almighty, we will

be presented in front of Him in the best

possible way so that He may grant us

entry into the everlasting happiness of

Jannah.

Likewise, we wish the same for our near

and dear ones, and rightly so. Amongst

them are our beloved children; the

Muslims and the followers of Islām ; the

next generation of believers.

However, it is important for us to

understand that nurturing children and to

give them the mind-set to know right

from wrong, is the responsibility of the

parent or guardian.

Love, Honour and Respect.

For a child to accept whatever the parent

is saying, first we must create love in the

child’s heart for the parent. If we succeed

in this then a slight gesture will be

enough for the child to understand. This

love within the child will thereafter

automatically bring about honour and

respect.

When the child is in its infancy, we must

show as much love to the child as

possible, so much so that the child does

not want to leave your side even when

he/she grows up. To pamper them would

not be wrong to say, however, with this

we must keep a watchful eye on their

behaviour and any wrong doings we must

reprimand them immediately, and not

brush it to a side saying, “The child is

still young.” Reprimanding does not

mean to do so with a harsh tone or any

other forms of harshness; rather with

pure love and concern for the child’s

future, he/she has the correct morals

within them that they know how to

interact and behave with others. For

example, your child has a bag of sweets,

and you notice that your child is not

sharing the sweets with others, then as a

parent we should pick up on this straight

away and work on them until they share

by their own doing not because you have

told them to do so.

This love which we show them in their

infancy should not decrease as time goes

on; rather it should increase. In the

child’s infancy we must earn trust and

become the best friend of the child, then

and only then can you become a parent,

as it is only when you become the best

friend of the child will the child obey

you. The hard work in the initial stages of

a child’s life will Insha’Allah pay-off

when the child is in its teenage years,

when to nurture and mould the child

becomes really difficult

This is not a one-sided effort, that only

the mother has to carry out; rather it is a

joint effort of both the mother and the

father.

(Continued from page 2)

If we do not show, earn the love or give any attention to our child, then as the child grows he/she will look for

love and attention elsewhere, and in most cases this will have dangerous outcomes not only to the child’s worldly

life but the more importantly, the hereafter also. They will seek this love in different avenues; some will find it in

their games, movies, etc.; some will find it in adopting impermissible relationships; some will find it in mixing

with the wrong crowds which might lead them to the gang culture, drugs, alcohol, clubs, etc.

When it gets to the stage of the latter and the honour and respect of our family name is at stake, do we then decide

to try and start taking the child to the Masajid and introduce them to the ‘Ulama, and complain to them that my

child does not listen to me and he/she has no concern for the hereafter. But now it is too late, your child in his/her

heart has no love for you and has the feeling that when I was young you were not there for me so why should I

listen to you. Being a parent is not just paying the bills and putting a roof over their heads, this is only one small

part of it. The main and most important part is to guide the child to the true teachings of Islām so that he/she may

be successful not only in this world but the hereafter also, so that we can say to Allah when we are asked what we

have done in the world, we can present our pious children.

LESSONS FROM HADITH

نه النهاس على " قال ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص عن أبي هري رة، عن رسولي اللهي ن من أمي هي والمؤمي ن ليسانيهي ويدي المسليم من سليم النهاس ميم وأموالييم مائيهي " دي

The Messenger of Allāh s said: "A true Muslim is the one from whose

tongue and hand the people are safe; and a true Mu’min is the one

from whom the people's lives and wealth are safe." (An-Nasa’i)

(PART 2)

The evils of the tongue need no explanation. One of the main evils which is prominent in so-

ciety is the evil of backbiting. As was stated under the last hadith of volume 3

issue 2, my respected mentor and teacher Hadhrat Mawlana Muhammad Saleem Dhorat hafi-

zahullah mentions how a person should use his tongue, he says first weigh your words then

speak them.

He explains, when a person desires to speak first he should think to himself:

is what I am about to say going to benefit me in the hereafter, if the answer is yes then

you should say it.

If the answer to the above is no, rather it will bring harm to his hereafter then he must re-

frain from it.

If their is no harm or benefit, it is best to stay away from.

If it is regards to benefit from the worldly aspect, if it is permissible in the eyes of

Shari‘ah then there is no harm in speaking.

If it is impermissible then we must stay away from it, rather not even go close to it, for

example lying for some financial gain.

And if there is no harm or benefit, then again it is best to stay away from it.

It is very common in the time and age we live in as our youth are very unaware of how they

should talk to their parents, elder and younger siblings, relatives, teachers beit in school or

madrasah and elders, those who are present as well as those who have left this world (pious

predecessors, the sahaba, the Prophets ). To instil respect in them, to monitor their behaviour,

reprimand them and explain to them what they are doing is wrong is the duty of the parent(s).

Dear Sister

Hadhrat Khadijah Bint Khuwalid t ( Ustadhji Muhammed Surti)

Through the advice of my respected Ustaad and

Headteacher at Madrasah Al Hidayah, Mawlana

Adam Sahib, I have started up a women’s sec-

tion of the magazine. In this section we take a

look at the lives of the most famous women in

Islām . Where better to start then the first

woman to accept Islām and the first Wife of

our Prophet Muhammad a, Hadhrat Khadija

Bint Khuwalid t.

Hadhrat Khadijah t was born in Makkah in the

year 556 CE. Her mother's name was Fatimah

bint Zayd, and her father's name was Khuwaylid

bin Asad. He was a very popular leader among

the tribe of Quraysh, and a very prosperous

businessman who died while fighting in the fa-

mous battle of Fujjar. Khadijah thus grew up in

the lap of luxury. She married Abu Halah Malak

bin Nabash bin Zarrarah bin At-Tamimi and

bore him two children, Halah and Hind. She

wanted to see her husband prosper and financed

him in setting up a big business. But unfortu-

nately he passed away. Sometime later the

young widow married 'Atique bin 'Aith bin

'Abdullah Al-Makhzumi, and she had a daugh-

ter by him as well named Hindah, but the mar-

riage soon broke up on grounds of incompatibil-

ity. After this all her attention was devoted to

the upbringing of her children, and building up

the business she inherited from her father.

Her policy was to employ hard working, honest

and distinguished managers to deal on her be-

half. She exported her goods to far away mar-

kets like Syria, and her managers bought goods

from those markets to be sold at home.

Hadhrat Khadijah t had heard of the integrity,

honesty and principled behaviour of the Prophet

s and sent a job offer to him to head her trading

caravans. He gladly accepted the offer and

started working for her. Khadijah t sent him on

a business trip; her old and trusted slave May-

sarah being delegated to accompany and serve

him.

On the way back from Syria, the Prophet s lay

down under a tree to rest for a while. Nestora, a

Jewish monk, noted for his knowledge of relig-

ion and for his insight saw him and asked May-

sarah who he was. Maysarah told him all about

Muhammad s and his reputation for honesty

and intelligence. Nestora then told him that this

man would be elevated to Prophethood in the

future, as no man had ever rested under that par-

ticular tree but Prophets.

When he returned home Maysarah reported to

Khadijah t all that had taken place on the trip

to Syria. She was deeply moved and impressed,

and started thinking of proposing marriage to

Muhammad. But how could she express her

thoughts to him? She already rejected several

proposals of marriage from men belonging to

some of the noblest families of the Quraysh.

How would her tribe react? What would her

family say? And what was more, would her pro-

posal be acceptable to this young, yet unmarried

man of the tribe of Quraysh?

As she pondered over these questions and de-

bated within herself, one night she dreamt that

the shining sun had descended from the heavens

into her courtyard, radiating her home. When

she woke up she went for the interpretation of

this wonderful dream to her cousin, Waraqah

bin Nawfal, a blind man noted for his skill in

interpreting dreams, and for his depth of knowl-

edge, particularly of the Torah and the Injil.

When he heard her dream, he gave a serene

smile, and told her not to worry, as this was a

very promising dream. The glorious sun she

saw descending into her courtyard indicated that

the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

whose arrival had been predicted in the Torah

and the Injil was to grace her home and she

would gain from his presence in her life.

One Minute Lesson By Mawlānā Adam Loonat (Al-Hidayah Foundation)

Few Sunan for ‘Īd ul Adha

1. To awake early than usual

2. To brush the teeth (miswak)

3. To have a bath

4. To be well dressed in an Islām ic manner

5. To dress in ones best clothes (according to ones ability financially)

6. To use itr

7. To perform ‘Īd salaah in the ‘Īd gaaah (an open ground)

8. To Avoid eating before ‘Īd namaz on ‘Īd ul adha and to eat an odd number of dates or anything sweet on ‘Īd ul fitr

9. To go to the place for ‘Īd salaah early

10. To walk to the place for ‘Īd salaah early

12. To use different routes to and from the place of ‘Īd namaaz

Above is a few sunan for the day of ‘Īd ul Adha. Majority of these are those which we will do. All we have to do is keep in mind that this action is a sunnah and we will be rewarded.

e.g. we will all take a bath on ‘Īd day, and wear our best clothes. If we do with the intention of it been a sunnah we will be rewarded.

Also, we should keep in mind that our appearance (clothes, hair etc..) is according to the commands of Allah Ta’la. We don’t want to disobey Allah ta’la on a day He has blessed us with. A day of happiness, joy and enjoyment.

Keep in mind that Allah Ta’la has blessed with uncountable blessings. We don’t have to look far. Look at our

body. Eyes, nose, tongue, feet, hands etc.. the list can go on and on.

Ponder for a moment. What would I do if i could not see? How would i live my life if i became blind? Work,

family, eating, going places etc.. how would i be able to do it?

Allah Tala has blessed us with this eye without any charge or bill, which we use everyday and all day long and

then we become ungrateful by going against His commands
