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.

Personal, - Hidden Power in the PureDisposition - II

See how the pure disposition was a strong reason for the guidance of
Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq, may Allaah be pleased with him. Also, look at
'Abdullaah ibn Mas'ood, may Allaah be pleased with him, whose pure
disposition prevented him from giving the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi
wa sallam, some of the milk entrusted to him. He told the Prophet,
sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, "I am a trusted boy." Ibn Mas'ood, may
Allaah be pleased with him, said,
I was herding sheep for 'Uqbah ibn Abu Mu'ayt, and one day the
Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, and Abu Bakr passed by me. The
Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said:"O boy, do you have some
milk for us to drink?"I said, "Yes, but I am entrusted to look after
it." He said:"Do you have a ewe that has not been copulated by a ram
)i.e. does not produce milk(?"I brought him a ewe and when he rubbed
its udder, it produced milk. The Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa
sallam, milked it and let Abu Bakr drink, then he said to the
udder:"Shrink )i.e. stop producing milk(", and it stopped. I said, "O
Messenger of Allaah, teach me the like of what you said." He wiped my
head and said:"May Allaah have mercy upon you! You are a knowledgeable
boy."]Ibn Hibbaan[
In another narration, Ibn Mas'ood, may Allaah be pleased with him, said,
I went to the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, and said, "Teach
me these good words." He said:"You are a knowledgeable boy."Later on,
I learned from the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, himself
seventy Surahs that no body disputes with me on." ]Ahmad[ ]Al-Albaani:
Saheeh[
The Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, took advantage of the pure
innate belief of 'Abdullaah ibn Mas'ood, may Allaah be pleased with
him, who later became the best man from whom the Quran was learnt, and
the man who brought the head of Abu Jahl the pharaoh of this Ummah
)nation( to the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam.
Thus, a child is a very white blank paper that you draw on with your
own hands. You can utilize and invest this pure disposition in raising
your child as the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, did or do
the opposite. For that reason, Imaam Al-Ghazaali, may Allaah have
mercy upon him, said,
A child is a trust with his parents, and his pure heart is an intact
jewel that has no inscriptions or drawings. The child's heart is
susceptible to every inscription and is inclined to whatever is
offered to it. If he gets used to and is taught goodness, he will grow
on goodness and his parents, teachers and those who brought him up
will be happy in this life and in the Hereafter. If he gets used to
evil and is left like animals, he will be miserable and doomed, and
the sin will be burdened on his guardian and those put in his charge.
Absence of sound upbringing affects the Fitrah
Man's pure disposition is badly affected when it lacks the appropriate
atmosphere which helps it to develop and benefit from its power and
impact on the child's upbringing. The pure disposition may be
distorted as a result of the corrupt environment in which the child
lives, the parents' negligence, and the children's integration with
the other ways of upbringing in the society.
This happens when the role model does not play his role at home as an
important means of upbringing, and thus, matters take the opposite
direction; what is right becomes wrong and what is wrong becomes
right. Nevertheless, man's pure disposition does not completely die
and it is not meant to die; it searches for a role model in another
place and a sincere source for upbringing. Once it finds that role
model and source, it returns to the right path.
Raising a single child on Islam, like raising one thousand children or
all children, requires the presence of the Muslim household, the
Muslim street, the Muslim school and the Muslim society. All these
factors together have a far-reaching impact on raising children and
shaping them in their own fashion. They raise the children either upon
constantly observing Islam or on deviation. We cannot overlook the
impact of the child's temperament as well as the new and old habits
inherited from the parents and family on forming his personality since
he was born to them and influenced by them before the house, the
street, the school or the society affected and molded him.
Once a sound upbringing is absent or the upbringing and guidance are
corrupt, deviations resulting from hereditary factors take root
instead of being corrected; and aggravate instead of being improved.
Hence, people presume that heredity is dominant and critical in
shaping the child's personality. However, it is not like that. This
presumption may only be correct when inherited habits are left without
guidance, exactly as everything aggravates and exacerbates when it is
left free. It is not because it is strongly and violently incorporated
in his nature; rather, it is because nothing hinders or trims it, and
thus, it continues its way.
Ivy has the most delicate branches because it is a climbing plant and
cannot support itself. This plant must depend on something to climb
and grow on. How does this plant look when it is fully grown, and
climbs on and intertwines with other things? It blocks the way and you
can hardly pass through its branches.

Dought & clear, - The reason why smoking is haraam

why is smoking haram?
Praise be to Allaah.
Perhaps you know that all nations of the world - Muslim and kaafir
alike - have now started to fight smoking, because they know that it
is very harmful. Islam forbids everything that is harmful, because the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "There
should be no harming or reciprocating harm."
Undoubtedly there are foods and drinks which are beneficial and good,
and others which are harmful and bad. Allaah described our Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in the following terms
(interpretation of the meaning):
"he allows them as lawful At Tayyibaat (i.e. all good and lawful as
regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons and foods), and prohibits them
as unlawful Al Khabaa'ith (i.e. all evil and unlawful as regards
things, deeds, beliefs, persons and foods)
[al-A'raaf 7:157]
Is smoking one of the good and lawful things (al-tayyibaat) or one of
the evil and unlawful things (al-khabaa'ith)?
Secondly: it was narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: "Allaah forbids you to trade gossip, to ask
too many questions and to waste money." And Allaah forbade wasteful
extravagance when He said (interpretation of the meaning):
"and eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly He
(Allaah) likes not Al Musrifoon (those who waste by
extravagance)[al-A'raaf 7:31]
And He described the slaves of the Most Merciful as follows
(interpretation of the meaning):
"And those who, when they spend, are neither extravagant nor
niggardly, but hold a medium (way) between those
(extremes)"[al-Furqaan 25:67]
The whole world now knows that the money spent on smoking is to be
considered as money wasted, from which no benefit is gained; indeed,
it is money spent on something harmful. If the money which is spent on
smoking worldwide were to be collected, it could have saved entire
populations who have died of starvation. Is there anyone more foolish
that one who holds a dollar bill and sets fire to it? What is the
difference between him and the one who smokes? Indeed, the smoker is
more foolish, because the folly of the one who burns a dollar bill
ends there, whilst the one who smokes burns his money and also harms
his body.
Thirdly: how many disasters have been caused by smoking, because of
cigarette butts which are thrown away and cause fires. Other disasters
have been caused in other ways, as when a house was burned down with
its occupants inside, when a man lit his cigarette when there was a
gas leak.
Fourthly: how many people are offended by the smell of smokers,
especially when you are unfortunate enough to have one of them
standing next to you in the mosque. Probably any nasty smell is easier
to bear than the smell of the smoker's mouth when he has just woken
up. It is amazing how many women can put up with the smell of their
husbands' mouths! The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) forbade those who had eaten garlic or onions from coming to the
mosque so that they would not offend their fellow-worshippers with
their smell. The smell of onions and garlic is easier to bear than the
smell of the smoker and his mouth.
These are some of the reasons why smoking is haraam.
