Personal, - Hidden Power in the PureDisposition - I

We face a huge challenge when we bring up our children, that is, we
are not alone in bringing them up but the whole society contributes to
the process. Television, school, friends and the internet are all
contributing to the upbringing process, particularly after the globe
has become like a small village after the gigantic development in mass
media and the fact that cultures can easily move from one place to
another. This poses a huge challenge to the upbringing of our
children. How shall we protect them from the other stormy trends of
upbringing that are broadcast by the mass media and which spread by
means of the street, school and clubs, from one to the other? Allaah
The Almighty favored us by a power which helps us in the process of
upbringing - it is a hidden power that no body knows except the one
who appreciates it. It is, indeed, a gift from Allaah, The Lord of the
Worlds.
This hidden power is the pure disposition that Allaah The Almighty
created in mankind. No matter how man changes, this hidden power calls
him to take him back to the path of truth. Allaah The Almighty Says
)what means(:}So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to
truth. ]Adhere to[ the Fitrah of Allaah upon which He has created
]all[ people. No change should there be in the creation of Allaah.
That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not
know.{]Quran 30:30[ The Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,
said:"Every human is born on Fitrah )sound innate inclination to the
truth(."Ash-Shawkaani, may Allaah have mercy upon him, commented,
"Every child is born with an inclination to the true religion, so if
he adheres to another religion, this would be due to an external
factor that happened to him after birth. The factors might be changes
on the part of his parents or those responsible for raising him."
Therefore, people assuming the upbringing process must be certain that
any changes in the child's innate disposition are due to those who
bring him up. That is because the child is like the whitest blank
paper. Dr. 'Abdullaah Naasih 'Ulwaan says,
Educationists and moralists believe that the child is born with the
natural inclination to Tawheed )Islamic monotheism( and faith in
Allaah The Almighty, and with the origin of purity and innocence.
Thus, when he is given a conscious upbringing at home, righteous
social companionship and a faith-boosting educational environment, he
will grow with firm faith, virtuous morals and a righteous upbringing.
This faith-based fact was confirmed by the Quran and the Prophet,
sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, and was proved evident by educationists
and moralists.
Sayyid Qutb, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said, "Thus, the Surah
)Qur'anic chapter( links human nature with the nature of this
religion. Both are made by Allaah The Almighty, in accordance with the
law of existence; both are mutually harmonious in their natures and
objectives. Human nature is set on a firm basis, and so is the divine
religion. When people deviate from the proper path of nature, only
divine religion turns them back to it, since it is in full harmony
with both the human and universal nature.
Pure disposition is a divine gift
This innate belief is a gift from Allaah The Almighty which helps and
supports you in raising your child. It also serves as an internal call
which permanently echoes in the heart of every Muslim, urging him to
return to the path of truth. This call, no matter how distant man is
from and disobedient to his Lord Allaah, keeps echoing loudly within
his body and stimulates his reproaching soul, calling him, "Turn back
to Allaah The Almighty."
Dear parent, or anyone assuming the responsibility of the upbringing
process, you have an irresistible power called "the call of Fitrah
)innate belief(" which:
- constitutes the inner call inside every person to do good and avoid evil
- stimulates man's reproaching soul when he does something evil
- stirs the inner feeling that death and resurrection are inevitable
- awakens man's conscience
Since Allaah The Almighty supported you with this power, your duty is
only to provide a good role model and accustom your child to
righteousness. By doing so, you are playing the greatest role in
shaping, preparing and raising your child successfully. It is a trust
you carry on your shoulders and you have to meet Allaah The Almighty
successful in fulfilling it on the Day of Resurrection.
The Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, utilized the Companions' Fitrah
The Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, perfectly utilized the
power of Fitrah with his noble Companions, may Allaah be pleased with
them. He made it a basis for raising them on the immortal meanings of
Islam. A very clear example is Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq, may Allaah be
pleased with him, who is the most trustworthy man in this Ummah
)nation(. The calls of the innate belief were blowing in his heart
since an early age, implying, "These idols can neither bring about
benefit nor inflict harm, and that Allaah The Almighty is One and the
only Deity worthy of worship." Yet, he needed to see the role model
that affirmed, venerated and strengthened this innate belief. The
Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, was the best role model for
him, and Abu Bakr, may Allaah be pleased with him, was the first man
to embrace Islam without hesitation. The reason was his innate belief.
Listen to Abu Bakr, may Allaah be pleased with him, talking about his
childhood and how his innate belief barred him from worshiping idols.
In a group of the Companions of the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa
sallam,, Abu Bakr, may Allaah be pleased with him, said, "I have never
prostrated to an idol. When I became mature, Abu Quhaafah took me by
hand and went to a site where idols were set up. He said to me, "These
are your high and lofty gods," then he left me alone. I drew near to
an idol and said: "I am hungry, feed me," but it did not reply. I
said: "I am naked, clothe me," but it did not reply. So, I threw a
stone at its face, and it collapsed."
The Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, utilized this innate
belief that was firmly inculcated in the heart of Abu Bakr, may Allaah
be pleased with him, to introduce to Islam the most trustworthy man in
this Ummah, his companion in the cave and his first successor.
