When Your Children Were Young

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

When your children were young, they crave for your attention. But you pushed them away because you were busy with your work. When your children are older now, you crave for their attention. But how can you get their attention when they have learned to give attention elsewhere other than you. 

Parents, don't fall into the mistake of believing that your work need more attention than your children. Spend time with your children from day 1. Put aside your work immediately when they come to you. Pray and eat together at least once a day. The family that pray and eat together stay together.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ قُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا وَقُودُهَا ٱلنَّاسُ وَٱلْحِجَارَةُ عَلَيْهَا مَلَٰٓئِكَةٌ غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ لَّا يَعْصُونَ ٱللَّهَ مَآ أَمَرَهُمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ ‎﴿٦﴾‏

O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, over which are [appointed] angels, harsh and severe; they do not disobey Allah in what He commands them but do what they are commanded. [Quran, at-Tahrim 66:6]

May Allah make us good parents and make our children comfort to our eyes. Aameen.

Let's Read Surah Kahf Today (Friday) -- Overcoming Challenges

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

If there is a challenge in practicing your religion, look beyond yourself and pay attention to the youths in the story of the companions of the cave. Allah Most High says,

نَّحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ نَبَأَهُم بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ فِتْيَةٌ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِرَبِّهِمْ وَزِدْنَٰهُمْ هُدًى ‎﴿١٣﴾‏ وَرَبَطْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ إِذْ قَامُوا۟ فَقَالُوا۟ رَبُّنَا رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ لَن نَّدْعُوَا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ إِلَٰهًا ۖ لَّقَدْ قُلْنَآ إِذًا شَطَطًا ‎﴿١٤﴾‏

It is We who relate to you, [O Muhammad], their story in truth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance. (13) And We made firm their hearts when they stood up and said, "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. Never will we invoke besides Him any deity. We would have certainly spoken, then, an excessive transgression. (14)  [Quran. Al Kahf 18:13-14]

May Allah increase us in guidance and make our hearts firm in Islam. Aameen.

The Thriving Life

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

It's not over when you die. There is afterlife. And Allah wants us to focus on that afterlife. The Quran constantly tells us about it. The life of the afterlife is the thriving life.

وَمَا هَٰذِهِ ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَآ إِلَّا لَهْوٌ وَلَعِبٌ ۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلدَّارَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ لَهِىَ ٱلْحَيَوَانُ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ ‎﴿٦٤﴾

And this worldly life is not but diversion and amusement. And indeed, the home of the Hereafter - that is the [eternal] life, if only they knew. [Quran, Al Ankabut 29:64]

May Allah grant us ease in all our affairs in this life and the next. Aameen.
