It is true that the first learning center for a child is the mother's
lap. The mannerisms of the parents are reflected in the children.
The story of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jeelani <http://www.almuslim.com.au/>
(May Allah have mercy on him) is famous: When he was traveling with a
caravan, a gang of dacoits raided the caravan. When they came to check
Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jeelani (May Allah have mercy on him), an eighteen
year old young man, the dacoits inquired if he had any valuables. He
told them about the gold coins which had been stitched into his
clothes by his mother. The dacoits asked him why he let them know of
the hidden money, to which he replied that his mother had advised him
to "never lie". Upon this the dacoits become ashamed and repented to
Allah.
It is the duty of parents to be an example to their children and
advise them. Allah (the Supreme) tells us of the advice that Syedna
Luqman gave to his son:-
"And remember when Luqman<http://www.786travel.com.au/> said to his
son, and he used to advise him, "O my son! Never ascribe anything as a
partner to Allah; indeed ascribing partners to Him is a tremendous
injustice." [Luqman 31:13]
Then after some verses, the advice continues:-
"O my son! If the evil deed is equal to the weight of a mustard-seed,
and even if it is in a rock, or in the heavens, or wherever in the
earth, Allah will bring it forth; indeed Allah knows all the minutest
things, the All Aware. O my son! Keep the prayer established, and
enjoin goodness and forbid from evil, and be patient upon the calamity
that befalls you; indeed these are acts of great courage. And do not
contort your cheek while talking to anyone, nor boastfully walk upon
the earth; indeed Allah does not like any boastful, haughty person.
And walk moderately and soften your voice; indeed the worst voice is
the voice of the donkey." [Luqman 31:16-19]
We can recall not too long ago in our Muslim culture <http://
www.eagletravel.com.au/> that all grown-ups in the community would
take the role of guides for the youth. No child dared to misbehave in
front of elders in any gathering. All the elders held enough authority
that they could discipline the child without having to face the wrath
of the parents as is the case today. As a result, children tend to
misbehave and disrespect elders because they no longer fear being
disciplined by anyone besides their parents, and that too is seen
little.
Parents realize it too late - that what they thought was giving
'freedom' to their children was in fact destroying them. Being
affectionate to your children is one thing but to let them to do
anything as they wish, is not affection - rather it is harmful for the
child. This is the result of the parents' forgetting their duty of
teaching the child. More often the television takes the place of the
parent and it is from here the child gains much of his/her ill-
mannerisms. Let these words be a reminder and a word of caution.
When children are able to speak a little, teach them the name of
Allah. Before, mothers would put their children to sleep by chanting
"Allah – Allah", but now it is by shamefully playing the music on the
radio! <http://
www.oliveweb.com.au/>,When children are mature do not do anything in
front them which will ruin their mannerisms because they tend to copy
these acts. They do whatever they see their parents doing. Never argue
with your spouse in front of them because this puts a lot of stress on
children and causes them to think that they are the cause of the
argument. Never curse your children.
Offer the Prayers in front of them, recite Quran, take them to the
mosque with you, and tell them stories of our pious predecessors as
they like to listen to stories very much. Hearing stories with lessons
and morals will increase their good habits. When they are a little
older, teach them the Five Declarations (Kalemat), Concise Faith
(Imane Mujmal), Detailed faith (Imane Mufassal), and then teach them
how to offer Prayers (Salah).
Put them under the guidance of an Allah-fearing, pious scholar (Aalim)
or Qur'an Memorizer (Hafiz) – definitely holding right beliefs & from
creed of Ahle Sunnah - to acquire the knowledge of Islam & the Holy
Qur'an – so they can know more of the beautiful religion to which they
belong. Teach them the rules & practices of bathing, ablution &
prayer.
If Allah gives you proper guidance, try to make your children Islamic
Scholars or Memorizers of the Holy Qur'an. A Memorizer (Hafiz) will
get three generations forgiven and a Scholar (Aalim) will get seven
generations forgiven (on the Day of Judgment). It is baseless to think
that a scholar has no source of livelihood. Know that one does not
earn more than what is destined by acquiring worldly knowledge; one
will get only what the Almighty Provider (Razzaq) <http://
www.paktimes.com.au/> has written for him.
Teach your children simplicity and do not expose them to materialism.
Teach them the value of doing their own work. Send them to college,
make them judges, make them doctors or to adopt any successful and
halal career in this world - but make them such that they carry on
these professions as honest Muslims who know their religion.

I see where republicans wnat to require an ID when you go to vote.
Given all the fake IDS/stolen identities/etc.how do you
prove that you are actually who you say you are?
The same goes for the Arizona law. There is no fool
proof way to prove that you are who you say you
are.

There's no IDs required to vote in the US??? Srsly?
In Canada, they get your name and address from your tax return (if you
say that's okay) and they get the rest of the names by going
door-to-door to get the name of everyone of voting age.
Everyone is assigned a voting location. You go there and you are
assigned to a single table and can only vote there. You're name is on
the list. You provide ID if requested, they cross you off the list. No
one can pretend to be you and no one can vote if they're not on the list
and cannot provide ID with proof of residence (phone bill etc).
Then there's no foolish electronic gadgets or pull tab thingys. You go
in behind a piece of cardboard, mark an X next to the person you're
voting for and poke it in a box. The votes are counted at the end of the
night with representatives from all the parties watching.
Simple.
Election fraud is something you don't see a lot of up here.
Something to be said for a parliamentary system.
Oh, and our elections last all of six weeks at most.

Why do Canadians put animals on their currency? Because they don't
have enough famous people.
Maybe they'll have a $5 Parkinson's with Mikey J. Fox on it!!

Having lost their fight in the legislature, Wisconsin unions are now
getting out the steel pipes for those who don't step lively to their
cause. A letter we've seen that was sent to businesses in southeastern
Wisconsin shows that Big Labor's latest strategy is to threaten small
businesses with boycotts if they don't publicly declare their support
for government union monopoly power.
Dated March 28, 2011, the letter is addressed to "DEAR UNION GROVE
AREA BUSINESS OWNER/MANAGER," in Racine County. And it begins with
this warm greeting: "It is unfortunate that you have chosen 'not' to
support public workers rights in Wisconsin. In recent past weeks you
have been offered a sign(s) by a public employee(s) who works in one
of the state facilities in the Union Grove area. These signs simply
said 'This Business Supports Workers Rights,' a simple, subtle and we
feel non-controversial statement given the facts at this time."
We doubt "subtle" is the word a business owner would use to describe
this offer he is being told he can't refuse.
The letter is signed by Jim Parrett, the "Field Rep." for Council 24
of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees,
which is the most powerful union in the AFL-CIO. The letter presents a
litany of objections to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's changes to
benefits and public union collective bargaining power, describing them
as "things that make life working in a 24-7 facility tolerable."
The missive concludes by noting that, "With that we'd ask that you
reconsider taking a sign and stance to support public employees in
this community. Failure to do so will leave us no choice but do [sic]
a public boycott of your business. And sorry, neutral means 'no' to
those who work for the largest employer in the area and are union
members."
mr dude (save America! Kill a union member!!!!)
