SOME GOLDEN THOUGHTS FOR PARENTS AND TEACHERS TO PONDER, REFLECT AND PRACTICE

 SOME GOLDEN THOUGHTS FOR PARENTS AND TEACHERS TO PONDER, REFLECT AND PRACTICE


1. If your children lie to you often, it is because you over-react too harshly to their inappropriate behaviour.


2. If your children are not taught to confide in you about their mistakes, you’ve lost them.


3. If your children had poor self-esteem, it is because you advice them more than you encourage them.


4. If your children do not stand up for themselves, it is because from a young age you have disciplined them regularly in public.


5. If your children take things that do not belong to them, it is because when you buy them things, you don’t let them choose what they want.


6. If your children are cowardly, it is because you help them too quickly. 


7. If your children do not respect other people’s feelings, it is because instead of speaking, you order and command them. 

  

8. If your children are too quick to anger, it is because you give too much attention to misbehaviour and you give little attention to good behaviour.


9. If your children are excessively jealous, it is because you congratulate them only when they successfully complete something and not when they improve at something even if they don’t successfully complete it.


10. If your children  intentionally disturb you, it is because you are not physically affectionate enough.


11. If your children are openly defiant, it is because you openly threaten to do something but don’t follow through.


12. If your child is secretive, it is because they are sure that you would blow things out of proportion.


13. If your children back-answer to you, it is because they watch you do it to others and think its normal behaviour.


14. If your children don’t listen to you but listen to others, it is because you are too quick to jump to conclusions. 


15. If your children rebel, it is because they know you care more about what others think than what is right.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD

 *BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD* It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' This is related by the group. 'Amr ibn Abasah reports that he heard the Prophet say: "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah, the Exalted One, at that time then do so." This is related by al-Hakim who grades it sahih according to Muslim's standards, and at-Tirmizhi calls it hasan sahih. AnNasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah also recorded it. Abu Muslim asked Abu Zharr: "Which late-night prayer is the best?" He said: "I asked the Messenger of A...
