Snipbit of what we try to show our learners find their true purpose...

We teach kids about stranger danger but when have you explained to your child about the concept of where they begin and end and to cut off any negative feedback or stories of another's reality before their mind accepts it as their truth ?

It takes a few comments of "you are " or "you are not" for a child to make that their reality.

"You are the pretty child"

"You are tired"

"You are good at maths"

"You are not kind"

"You are not neat"

Even from an Islamic perspective we are taught that words can be duas/prayers.

Teach your child to respectfully "cut" the statement off and replace it with a comment that wipes it out.

My daughters' each have their own :

Sameera (14years old) : "please don't make your irreality my reality. "

Liya (11years old): "No, I am sorry. I am Liya"

When they were younger I would do it for them. I would say:
"Liya is Liya and she has her own story" ... In other words it's her life and you have no licence to add a story as if you are her.

As an adult, I stopped doing it for a while and it's amazing how people then feel they have carter Blanche to attach their opinions to you as of its a fact. Now, point blank, I will say "that's just a story you created About me" or if they are pushy "please keep your stories for your own book".

Even something as simple as people saying I look tired when I don't feel it , I reject openly.
The only stories I accept are:
"You are beautiful or thin" :-p

31 Things Your Kids Should Be Doing Instead of Homework So, what are some of the things kids could be doing in those hours between the end of the school day and bed time? Science and research say these work.

The next level of ILC is tweaking our product offering, streamlining administrative processes and finding a way to be registered with an accredited examination body in a way that does not compromise our religious priorities. We also need to establish some fixed monthly financial subsidies to alleviate the pressure on management raise funds and thus focus on internal processes and operational.

Mualima Zaheera will thus be focused on operations and strategic development of ILC in 2017 , Allah willing.
I look forward to your constructively worded input or suggestions to improve our services at ILC .

Two Kinds of Intelligence

There are two kinds of intelligence: one acquired,
as a child in school memorizes facts and concepts
from books and from what the teacher says,
collecting information from the traditional sciences
as well as from the new sciences.

With such intelligence you rise in the world.
You get ranked ahead or behind others
in regard to your competence in retaining
information. You stroll with this intelligence
in and out of fields of knowledge, getting always more
marks on your preserving tablets.

There is another kind of tablet, one
already completed and preserved inside you.
A spring overflowing its springbox. A freshness
in the center of the chest. This other intelligence
does not turn yellow or stagnate. It’s fluid,
and it doesn’t move from outside to inside
through conduits of plumbing-learning.

This second knowing is a fountainhead
from within you, moving out.

7 ways to Make Your Child Love the Quran
(Part 9)

1. Tell stories. Sure everybody loves stories, and the Quran is full of them.
👶🏻😇

Allah says: "We relate to you the best of stories" (12:3). Tell the story of Yusuf with his siblings (Surrah 12), Ibrahnim with his father (19:41-50) and Luqman with his son (31:13-19).

Children will certainly love it if say it in a lively and interactive manner.

Children also love animal stories and the Quran has some of those as well. Tell about the initiative of the ant (27:18), the courage of the hoopoe (27:20) and the good company of the dog (18:18).

2. Inculcate one Quranic manner a week. the Quran is also full of manners: e.g. honesty, fairness, and kindness.
👶🏻😇

Select one manner in which the family will together practice for a week. During this week, read about this manner in the Quran.

If it was kindness, for example, read on kindness to parents (17-23). If about patience then read about the patience of Ayyub (Job) (21: 83-84).

You may use an index to identify a certain manner and its corresponding location in the Quran.

3. Reward. Encourage the child to read the Quran and reward. Kiss and hug when they read or memorize verses.
👶🏻😇

Show recognition and reward as a sign of good behavior. "I will forgive what you did today [name the bad behavior], because you read Suarh Yasin [the good behavior]".

4. Engage with competitions and quizzes. Children love to ask questions, but they like quizzes too.
👶🏻😇

Ask questions like: how many parts (or juz’) are there in the Quran? Name three Prophets (or countries, animals, plants etc.) mentioned in the Quran?

Quiz while dropping to school, in a trip or when having dinner.

5. Connect to specific chapters. Use the fact that certain chapters have a specific value to encourage the child to read or memorize.
👶🏻😇

For instance, al-Ikhlas (Sura 112) is equal to a third of the Quran and al-Mulk (Sura 67) defends and saves.

6. Protects and cures. My daughter was ill one day and had a headache. I put my hand on her head and read Al Ikhlas, Al Falaq, Al Nas and said in a voice that she could hear “O Allah! Remove this disease and cure her. You are the Great Curer. There is no cure but through You, which leaves behind no disease."
👶🏻😇

A child must take the medically prescribed drug when ill, but must also believe that Allah is the one who cures, and that this cure happens through his words in the Quran.

Allah says: "And We send down of the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe" (17:82).

7. Prayers: there are many Quranic prayers (duas) and remembrance (zikr) that if the child learns will connect to the Quran.
👶🏻😇

When in the car to school, for example, the child says: “Glory to Him Who has subjected this [the vehicle] to us, and we could have never had it. And verily to Our Lord we indeed are to return” (43:13-14).

Or prays when in agony or in distress by saying: "There is no god but You, Glory to You; verily I was one of the wrongdoers" (21: 87).

Such prayers help create a strong emotional bond between the child and the Book of Allah.

May Allah bless our children and open up their hearts to love the Quran in this difficult and confusing time and age.
