Love and respect your father. Because while you are busy scrolling stuffs on your phone, he's also busy earning money to bring food to your home.

《Children’s Upbringing》

If you go to the beach with your kids, ask one of them to dip his finger into the sea and take it out, then ask his siblings:
“How much seawater did your brother remove with his finger-dip? A third, a quarter, or half the ocean?”

As you hear their laughter tell them that our prophet ﷺ said:
"This world (i.e., its pleasures and duration) in comparison with the Hereafter is similar to the amount of water one gets when he dips his finger into the ocean. Let him then see how much of the ocean’s water he can remove.”

Seize such opportunities to attach your children’s hearts to the Hereafter.

📍**O Parents! Fear Allāh and nurture your daughters upon the obedience of Allāh**

💎The Three Babies That Spoke In The Cradle

The Prophet (ﷺ) said,

"None spoke in cradle but three: (The first was) Jesus, (the second was), there a man from Bani Israel called Juraij.

While he was offering his prayers, his mother came and called him. He said (to himself), 'Shall I answer her or keep on praying?" (He went on praying) and did not answer her, his mother said, "O Allah! Do not let him die till he sees the faces of prostitutes."

So while he was in his hermitage, a lady came and sought to seduce him, but he refused. So she went to a shepherd and presented herself to him to commit illegal sexual intercourse with her and then later she gave birth to a child and claimed that it belonged to Juraij.

The people, therefore, came to him and dismantled his hermitage and expelled him out of it and abused him. Juraij performed the ablution and offered prayer, and then came to the child and said, 'O child! Who is your father?' The child replied, 'The shepherd.' (After hearing this) the people said, 'We shall rebuild your hermitage of gold,' but he said, 'No, of nothing but mud.'

(The third was the hero of the following story) A lady from Bani Israel was nursing her child at her breast when a handsome rider passed by her. She said, 'O Allah! Make my child like him.' On that the child left her breast, and facing the rider said, 'O Allah! Do not make me like him.'

The child then started to suck her breast again. (Abu Huraira further said, "As if I were now looking at the Prophet (ﷺ) sucking his finger (in way of demonstration.") After a while the people passed by, with a lady slave and she (i.e. the child's mother) said, 'O Allah! Do not make my child like this (slave girl)!, On that the child left her breast and said, 'O Allah! Make me like her.'

When she asked why, the child replied, 'The rider is one of the tyrants while this slave girl is falsely accused of theft and illegal sexual intercourse."

Rasūlullāh ﷺ has spoken about evil eye and confirms that it is true and some people have evil eyes. Which is why many du'ās were revealed in several hadīth which protect us from evil eyes.

Umm Salamah Narrated that Rasūlullāh ﷺ saw a servant girl in her house whose face has become discolored.
Rasūlullāh ﷺ said: “Treat her with protective recitations, as she has been afflicted by an evil eyes.” [Sahīh al-Bukhārī, 5739]

So what is evil eyes?

Naturally some people have some sort of elements inside them which influence them to cause harm onto others whenever they comment on them or look at them.

This scenario is evident in the Seerah of Rasūlullāh ﷺ where a man looked at a fellow companion and admired his back by saying "You have such a beautiful back". The Sahabi fell unconsciously until the Rasūlullāh ﷺ intervene.

Ibn Abbas narrated that Rasūlullāh ﷺ said:

“The evil eye is real. If anything could precede the divine decree, it would be preceded by the evil eye. When you are asked to perform a ritual bath, then do so.” [Sahīh Muslim, 2188]

So dear parents and family members,

Whenever you post pictures of your children on social media, there are high chances that someone with evil eyes can see them and comment, and that gesture could cause harm to them. Which is why sometimes kids will be sick and you just can't figure out why they are sick or what's happening to them.

The irony is that people who have evil eyes might not necessarily know it.
So they keep using it and keep harming people unintentionally.

Hence, I urge you to avoid posting photos of children, at times even adults can be affected. Look at people who are beautiful or handsome, when they post something, thousands of people like and comment on it. Only Allāh knows what's going on behind the scene.

Whenever the baby is born don't you dare to expose their cuteness on this platform.
Just share it to your loved ones and trusted persons. And don't forget to make Du'ā, say “Allāhumma bārik” to save them from evil mouth and evil heart.

If you are tempted and feel overwhelmed then stop, take a deep breath, think hundred times before clicking. Don't take it lightly. 𝗦𝗶𝗵𝗿, 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝘆, 𝗘𝘃𝗶𝗹 𝗘𝘆𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵❗

Enjoy Allāh's blessing privately.
you don't have to announce your happiness to everyone, remember that not everyone is happy for what you have. Prevention is better than cure.

May Allāh protect the innocent children from any evilness of this world. آمين

Shaykh Sālih Al-Fawzān (حفظه اللّٰه) said:

“The duty of the mother in raising the child is not an easy job. Rather, it is a job that requires knowledge and it requires effort, in order to be consistent.”

Prepare Yourself Mentally
The shaikh, Dr. Muḥammad ibn Ghālib Al-ʿUmarī, may Allāh protect him, said:

Get yourself in the habit of mentally anticipating the worst possible outcomes so that it becomes easy for you to overcome crisis situations. Prepare yourself mentally for:

I. separation from a loved one;
II. animosity or hostility from a friend;
III. the deception or conspiring of someone close [to you against you];
IV. setbacks or failures occurring;
V. losses taking place.

But don’t let that stop you from being optimistic; don’t let pessimism find its way into your heart. For between pessimism and anticipating the worst possible outcomes is a [clear] distinction, just as there is between the sky and the earth.

Pornography is one of the biggest issues facing all of humanity. It absolutely ruins you physically, mentally and spiritually. It destroys lives, ruins relationships and breeds sexual predators.

Lowering the gaze has always been a key part of human existence, but now more than ever, it is extremely difficult to do. I don't believe the answer is to "get married" because married men are consuming porn just as much as single men.

So rectification comes from fearing Allah, busying oneself with the beneficial actions, regularly making taubah and closing all doors to the sin. A person may also seek counselling for help leaving porn because it is a drug. No. It is worse than the narcotics we have today.

May Allah fix our affairs and forgive our sins.

Rasulullāh ﷺ said:
“I will be like this in paradise with the person who takes care of an orphan”.
Rasulullāh ﷺ raised his forefinger and middle finger by way of illustration (meaning as closeas these two fingers are to each other is how a person who takescare of the orphan and I will be in paradise) [Al-Bukhari].

• It will be indeed a great honour to be close to Rasulullāh ﷺ in paradise. This honour will be given to those who are kind to the orphans.
In another tradition Rasulullāh ﷺ has regarded it the `best house’ in which an orphan is treated with kindness. He declared the worst home in which an orphan child is not treated with affection.

Rasulullāh ﷺ said:
“He who takes careof an orphan, whether he is his relative or a stranger, will bein paradise with me like these two”. The narrator, Malik bin Anas raised his forefinger and middle finger for illustration. [Muslim].

Sa’eed ibn al-Musayyib رحمه الله said:

“The one who treats his parents with goodness will not die an evil death.”

[Tarikh Ibn Ma’in 8/28]

https://news.1rj.ru/str/MuslimChildrenTips

This morning, the kids saw me watching a video, and they asked me who the speaker in the video was.

"His name is Umar Abdul-Kafy, عمر عبد الكافي, " I replied. "A famous Egyptian shaykh."

I added, "Al-Kafy ( الكافي ) is a name among the Beautiful Names of Allah, أسماء الله الحسنى. Just like Abdullah or Abdur-Rahman or Abdul-Hakeem."

One of my kids immediately said,

"الكافي الذي يكفي. وكفى بالله شهيدا."

"Al-Kafy, the One who Suffices. "And sufficient is Allah as a witness."" (Surat An-Nisa, 79)

"Yes," I nodded, surprised. "But how do you know that ayah? You don't know that surah!"

He replied, "We hear it a lot in different surahs. I think this is a common sentence in the Quran. We hear it often when you put on Quranic recitation."

Another boy added,

"فسيكفيكهم الله..."

"Allah will suffice you against them..." (Surat Al-Baqarah, 137)

Now I was truly amazed. This is a more advanced context, a more subtle iteration of the word كافي , Kafy.

"That is from an ayah in Surat Al-Baqarah! How do you know it when you don't know Surat Al-Baqarah?" I asked.

"From سيرة عثمان, the biography of Uthman," he said simply.

It is truly fascinating and heartwarming how attentive and perceptive children are, and how their memories work mashaAllah.

We don't necessarily put on Quranic recitation every day, and it is not that every surah we listen to has this ayah.

And we have listened to recordings of the seerah of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم as well as of the Khulafa' Ar-Rashidun, including of course Uthman ibn Affan رضي الله عنه. This is the ayah `Uthman had been reciting when he was killed. But I was not really sure just how much of these biographies my kids have understood, retained, can recall on command.

But just from hearing the word Al-Kafy, they were instantly able to remember different words from the Quran derived from the same root:

Al-Kafy, Kafa, fa-sayakfeekahumu.

الكَافِي، كَفَى، سَيَكْفِيكَهُم.

Alhamdulillah.

Parents, expose your young children to the Quran and the sunnah and the life stories of the Sahaba and the giants of this ummah. You will be amazed at the beautiful results inshaAllah.

Relationship and parenting..

https://news.1rj.ru/str/MuslimChildrenTips

Amazing how Allah created women's nature to be soft, sweet, and delicate so a man's nature of protecting and providing will compliment it.

I'm also amazed by the fact that although men were created to be firm, protector, and provider, they need the feminine energy to keep them nurtured and enthusiastic.

If we only understand the natural state of these two genders, we would be understanding each other more, deeply, and sincerely.

Allaah didn't create men and women to compete with each other but rather to compliment each other's unique characteristics that result in harmony, mercy, affection, and mutual respect.

Allaah said,

هُنَّ لِبَاسٌ لَّكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ لِبَاسٌ لَّهُنَّ

“Your wives are garments to you, and you are garments to them.” {Qur’an 2:187}

You protect one another.

You make each other warm.

You beautify each other.

And without the other one, it would feel incomplete.

Ibn ‘Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:

“Playing with the children and showing mercy to them is from the reasons of entering into Al-Jannah and being saved from the Hellfire”

[Sharh Riyādh As-Sālihīn: 3/113]

Show-off on social media:

In this age of materialism and social media, people tend to share the good things they have, i.e., beauty, house, job, children, food, clothes, cars, etc.

This is natural, and this is often done with good intentions, but it has some unintended negative consequences:

Some people will feel bad, wishing they could have the same, others may get jealous and the evil eye could hit.

For these reasons, even if these things are not shared with the intention of show-off, we should try to minimize this as much as possible, remain low-key, to avoid putting other people in fitnah, and to safeguard our blessings.

There is also a concept called 'كفر نعمة', [ungratefulness for the blessings of God], and this usually happens, when we see someone that has more worldly blessings than us.

According to some scholars, this was the reason why the queen ant told her colony to enter their dwellings when Sulayman and his army were marching.

Imam Fakhr al-Razi writes:
وثالثها : ما رأيت في بعض الكتب أن تلك النملة إنما أمرت غيرها بالدخول لأنها خافت على قومها أنها إذا رأت سليمان في جلالته، فربما وقعت في كفران نعمة الله تعالى وهذا هو المراد بقوله :﴿لا يَحْطِمَنَّكُمْ سُلَيْمَـانُ﴾ فأمرتها بالدخول في مساكنها لئلا ترى تلك النعم فلا تقع في كفران نعمة الله تعالى، وهذا تنبيه على أن مجالسة أرباب الدنيا محذورة
'𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 (𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗲𝗻) 𝗮𝗻𝘁, 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗻𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗺𝗮𝗻'𝘀 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗱𝗼𝗺, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 (𝗺𝗲𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲) 𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗽𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱.'
['Tafsir al-Razi', 24/187].

Imam al-Qurtubi also mentioned this as one possible interpretation:
لم ترِد ( حطم النفوس)، وإنما أرادت ( حطم القلوب)
'𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻: [𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀], 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘁: [𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀].'
['Tafsir al-Qurtubi', 13/171].

If sometimes we do see the blessings God has bestowed upon others, and these ill feelings do arise within ourselves, we should remember that God said:

نحن قسمنا بینهم معیشتهم فی الحیاة الدّنیا!
'𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗘, 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱.' [Qur'an 43:32].

It is the Will and Decree of God, He tests some with poverty, and others with wealth.

والعاقبة للمتقين!
