They Learn what we Teach!
Written by : MoodyGirlI came across this video, and I loved it :-) she’s such a cutie pie, may Allah bless her in this life and in life hereafter! Indeed, babies learn what parents teach them from very young age, it’s misunderstood thing that they can’t get it when they so young, they just kids, we will make them pray and do good deeds when they’ll grow bit older etc etc etc. Oh, no. It exactly when they are this young that they will actually learn and remember the teachings. If it’s being played music and people around included parents clap, laugh and motivate the kid to dance and do Bhangda with his/her tiny legs and arms, then definitely parents can’t blame them for getting addicted to music when they teenager. Similarly when parents would tell them in a cool and calm way that my sweetheart child, dancing and music is not for us Muslims, for us it’s salah/Namaz for us it’s Reciting Quraan and listening to it, from very young age when parents start injecting what is wrong and right- then Insha-Allah parents will not say when their kids will reach the age of teenager that “Oh, God they are out of control” – Insha-Allah. Not being strict when kids do something non-islamically and not tell them about their religion Islam, thinking they got their whole life to learn about this, is the biggest mistake any parent can do, whether it is a baby-girl or a baby-boy both deserve the proper attention and time, it’s their right to be told about their religion in all matters, they deserved to be explainded about things not yelled at for not getting it. Rest Allah knows best, and Allah will never let the effort go astray. Am so thankful to Allah Almighty that I and my hubby have the same mindset about these things, and Insha-Allah with help from Allah we will not make all mistakes that we see around, when parents are on the same side, the child will understand that here he/she can not mess or manipulate. It’s extremly important for kids to know that we are their best friend ever, as well as their parents and for us to know that we are their parents first then their best friend, Allah will ask us about our kids, and we will be answerable for whatever they do, because the question will be: How well did we fulfill our duty when it comes to their upbringing- after all they were nothing, it’s our teachings as parents that made them the way they are. No parents would wish they children to burn in hellfire, or have a miserable life, am quite sure no parents can every want that for their kid, and for that they will have to start saving them from the very beginning, let it be by being strict, better to wake up now than sitting helpless when kids don’t listen to you, basically the very bitter fact it that they don’t understand the language now when grown up because as parents you didn’t teach them this language when they were young and learning and now they don’t feel like learning the new language hmm Allah mercy! Allah give us and all others [parents or parents to be] the ability and strength to see the reality before it’s too late. Ameen-sum-Ameen!
