Think about this!

As Salaamu alaykuuna

Ya Akawaats,

I am not sure if you all belong to a Yahoo's group named Muhaajr or not but once there was an article posted on there basically about the importants of wanting good for our kids in this life and the next. How we should make duaa for our youngs future and so on and so forth. Ok Reason why I am bring this up. Although we all have simular dreams for our children as far as wanting them to be hafiz wa hafiza of Kitabul Quraan.

We should also learn to pray that what ever our children learn from our religon that it benefit them in this life and in the next. We should learn to make duaa to our Rub that Allah facilitate us during our journeys in educating our children. And that He blesses our children to apply all that they learn that is benefical to there deen. To apply it to their life and live by it ameen.


Countless times I have heard sad stories that brought me to tears of how Parents simular in thinking like me, would spend thousands and more money to give there children and Islamic education and have these big big dreams of how there children where young hafiz ow hafiza's only to be disapointed by the fact that it did not benefit there children at an adult age.

These stories are of how

Children learnt the whole quran by age 7 and 8 or even younger but by time they where adults had to sit and relearn it all over again note most of these kids where not of arab desent.

stories of how

kids who are so confused doing things that are haraam and drugs and parting and all while they hold this dear presiousness in there soul.... The whole quraaan. these are arabs and american children. I witness this in Houston tx. kids with Hafiz of Quraan living the thug life and so on.

stories of how

Children once they became adults apostaed from Islam only becuase they where angry at there parents for not giving them the tools they needed to be successful in life.

so they can care for them selves and their new family as a person at whole not just as a Muslim.

Ya Akawaats these stories are so real and so true and they are sad sad stories that we would never want to witness for our children and they are a lesson for us to learned.

It is nothing wrong with learning the quraan like this but also try to remember how the sahabas wa sahabiyaats learned the quraan.

Remember that they learnt 3-5 ayaats and did not move on to the next until they memorised those ayaats and also applied it to themselves.

That is worth it and better for us.

But if you learnt it faster than that Alhamdulillah just make sure that it doesnt leave that childs life meaning keep them surronded by it forever inshallah.

One thing we do not remember is that mashallah even though we are all foreingers in Islamic countries when some of you go back to your homes that child is now out of that enviornment. So now you have to think of ways to keep the Quraan with them inshaallah and the Arabic and sometimes that can be hard.

I know that since I have been back from Egypt its hard I had gotten used to seeing Arabic all around me and it was much more easier for me and my kids to keep it with us. But since I haev been back its like a bank account I am tring to hold all of what we have and save it and not let it slip away. MashaAllah when I thought that my bint was starting to forget how to read arabic I started making her sit down every day she has to because we can easly forget this she and I we are not around all arabic anymore so it is harder sometimes.

Alhamdulillah I did think abou tthat before we left and I went and got loads of Arabic cartoons and stories for them but still its no where near the same at all. I recommend anyone who is trying to learn arabic to better there relationship with Allah by being able to read his nobal Quran must go to an arab country if they are able to do so.... it is worth it if you can get there.

Ok this is just a suggestion inshaallah i will post on ways to help with learning the Quraan soon salaams

I ask Allah to help aid us Muslimahs who are tring so dearly to teach our children and to aid them in the life of this world and the hearafter. I pray that Allah bless us all with the will and strenth to go on and not give up no matte what and that we all can come together as a whole and help one another ameen ameen ameen
