❝ Remember, when the trial is at its intense, the relief of Allah is near. That’s the Sunnah of Allah, He is with His believing and righteous slaves! ❞ — Shaykh Musa Jibril حفظه الله https://t.me/LightOfTheTruth

Do not feel lonely on the path of Allah, don’t feel lonely when you’re standing by yourself on the truth. Most of the people are submerged on misguidance. Allah is there with you and Indeed He alone is sufficient for His believers. He is your supporter and protector. Likewise don’t be deceived if you are in the comfort of the majority. وَإِن تُطِعْ أَكْثَرَ مَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يُضِلُّوكَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُون And if you obey most of those on earth, they will mislead you far away from Allah's Path. They follow nothing but conjectures, and they do nothing but lie. — Shaykh Musa Jibril حفظه الله https://t.me/LightOfTheTruth

The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Indeed amazing is the affair of a believer! It is always best for him - and this is for no one except a believer. If he is granted ease of living, he shows shukr (gratitude to Allah), and this is best for him. And if he is afflicted with a hardship, he perseveres, and this is best for him.” وَعَن صُهَيْب الرُّومِي رَضِي الله عَنهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُول الله صلى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسلم عجبا لأمر الْمُؤمن إِن أمره لَهُ كُله خير وَلَيْسَ ذَلِك لأحد إِلَّا لِلْمُؤمنِ إِن أَصَابَته سراء شكر فَكَانَ خيرا لَهُ وَإِن أَصَابَته ضراء صَبر فَكَانَ خيرا لَهُ — Muslim The bliss of this Hadith is experienced by any Muslim who fully relies on Allah. That’s why you always see the believer content, even when faced with seemingly impossible situations. Their patience is rooted in the knowledge that only Allah alone can make the impossible possible. The imprisoned and tortured man that you see smiling in the face of continuous persecution and oppression, it’s because of this unwavering trust and contentment that brings them bliss in this life and the next. — Shaykh Musa Jibril حفظه الله https://t.me/LightOfTheTruth

Child development - The personality of a child begins to take shape significantly from the age of three onwards. People overlook the critical ages between three and ten years old, but this is the stepping stones that lead to your child’s final destination as a person. Given it's critical to mould a child's character at this stage, it allows you to instill in them what is important and ground them in it (e.g., Tawheed). This period in a child's life is crucial for teaching him lessons that will build a robust personality and character. The child learns mostly through observation - it’s not what you say, rather it’s what you do! It's during this period you should impart essential life skills, manners, character building traits and knowledge such as Tawheed, Aqeeah, Quran etc. As the age of the child progresses the deeper and more detailed should the teaching and moulding be. It's necessary to treat the child with kindness, compassion, and gentleness. Criticism, humiliation, physical punishment, being extremely strict or harsh, blaming, pointing continuous defects and so on can have detrimental lifelong consequences on the child, much of which is seen later on in life. One particular saying is to be kept in mind for this: “Being harsh towards a child is like using a thorny whip to shape a delicate clay sculpture. Instead of molding them with care and gentleness, the harshness leaves lasting marks and imperfections that alter the beauty of their essence.” Avoiding any form of shouting, the most damaging thing to a child's personality, is paramount. Encouraging and acknowledging the child's opinions and emotions helps shape their personality, so they won't be easily influenced by others. It also helps them develop leadership qualities, which is required by our religion. Aid your child to develop a strong personality, Islam doesn’t farm sheep, it flourishes giants that carry the world on the tip of their finger! We are to encourage children and instil in them leadership qualities, not to push their opinions or them away. Converse with them and guide their thought process the right way by helping them navigate it. This will result in them not being fragile in the future swaying with the wind. Positivity and encouragement play pivotal roles in the child's development. Parents often unconsciously give more attention to wrong actions than good, inadvertently causing the child to seek negative attention. However, we should practise positive reinforcement and help children strive for positive achievements. Consistent encouragement and acknowledgement will foster an ambitious attitude in them. Mu'awwiyah - may Allah be pleased with him - was 6-7 years old when he was playing with his peers. A passerby commented that this boy would grow to be a leader of his tribe. What made him say that? Even though Mu’awwiyah was a young boy playing, he was taking a leadership role even amongst his peers whilst playing. However, his mother, Hind Bint Utbah, had bigger ambitions for him. She said, “Breathe him. May I lose him if he’s only going to be the leader of his tribe!” She isn’t satisfied. She wants him more than that. That’s the difference between an ambitious and God-fearing mother over an ordinary woman. She rocks the cradle with her left hand and shakes the world with her right hand! Mu’awwiyah became leader of the world. — Shaykh Musa Jibril حفظه الله https://t.me/LightOfTheTruth
