*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -* - Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-

A protein that prevents tumors in mother’s milk: The HAMLET Protein

· How does the HAMLET protein, which was lately discovered in
mother's milk, prevent the formation of tumors?
· What are the characteristics of mother's milk that change according
to the baby's need?
Proteins are basic bioactive molecules and they are required for
thecell to carry out its functions. Some proteinsact individually or
together with other proteins. However, someof them need the help
ofchemical compounds that are not proteins. These non-protein
molecules can be vitamins, minerals or metal ions. Vitamins or
inorganic substances areauxiliary proteins and they are generally
named as co-factors. Iron, magnesium, cobalt,copper, zinc, selenium
are common ions and auxiliary inorganic substances. These proteins do
quite amazing things when they get connected to their helpers. One of
the most interesting of thesetakes place in mother's milk.
Allah Creates the Protein Called HAMLET in Mother's Milk As a Result
of Miraculous Processes
Mother's milk is a matchless compound created by Allah in orderto meet
the nutrition needs of the baby in full and to protect the baby
against possible infections. The balance of the nutrients in mother's
milk is in the most ideal measures, and in the best form for the body
systems of the immature baby. Mother'smilk, which is called "the
miracle mixture" by scientists as the nutritional values of this milk
are at ideal measures, is very rich in nutrients that make brain cells
grow and accelerate the development of the nervous system. Even a baby
formula prepared with the latest technology cannot replace this
miracle food. New benefits of mother's milk are found every day as a
result of research.
As is known, mother's milk includes many enzymes, vitamins,
nucleotides and antibodies. However, scientists have discovered a new
protein in mother's milk lately.
This protein, which is the main protein in mother's milk and known as
"alpha-lactalbumin", gives mother's milk a superior quality with
respect to cow's milk. This is because the protein called
beta-lactalbumin in cow's milk is rejected by the baby's body.
A protein called alpha-lactalbumin is produced at the last stages of
pregnancy and nursing time. This protein helps the sugar called
lactose inside the milk to be synthesized and makes the baby sleep
easily anddecreases the baby's tension. At the same time, when this
protein enters the baby's stomach, it combines with an auxiliary
proteincalled oleic acid. Oleic acid is a well-known fatty acid also
called OMEGA 9 (a basic component of olive oil). It decreases blood
pressure and prevents deadly diseases that affect the brain. However,
when alpha-lactalbumin and oleic acid are combined, a miracle happens
and they produce an alpha-lactalbumin protein called "HAMLET" (short
for H uman A lpha-lactalbumin M ade LE thal to T umor cells) that is
deadly to tumor cells in man.
HAMLET Destroys A Great Number of Tumor Cells
As a result of the studies conducted, it was proved that mother's
milk, about which hundreds of articles were published, protected
babies againstcancer but its mechanism has not yet been understood
completely. This complexprotein, which is produced only in the baby's
stomach, kills 40 different types of tumor cells. This protein
attacksthe cell wall, enters inside and begins to change their shape
within half an hour afterit combines with tumor cells and kills them
in six hours on average. However, the interestingthing about this
protein is that it can distinguish healthy cells from tumor.Scientists
have not yet understood how this protein recognizes tumor cells. It is
of course impossible that cells with no mind or consciousness can
distinguish between healthy cells and tumor cells. These cells can
distinguish between healthy and dangerous cells only by Allah's
inspiration. In the Qur'an, Allah's sovereignty over all living things
is revealed as such:
" I have put my trust in Allah, my Lord and your Lord. There is no
creature He does not hold by the forelock. My Lord is on a Straight
Path. " (Surah Hud, 56)
The interesting point is that the alpha-lactalbumin and oleic acid
that form this protein do not have the ability to destroy tumors on
their own. Alpha-lactalbumin and fatty acids exist naturally in
mother's milk. But they need to turn into a compound in the baby's
stomach to become the HAMLET protein that destroys the tumor. It is of
course a great miraclethat Allah creates the cure before the disease,
and places all these molecules inside the milk that the baby will
drink.
When the protein in mother's milk, fatty acidsand enzymes in the
baby's stomach are not created at the same time, their ability to
destroy tumors disappears. No doubt that this is one of the best
examples of Allah's flawless art of creation. In one verse it is
revealed:
" His command when He desires a thing is just to say to it, 'Be!' and
it is. " (Surah Ya Sin, 82)
Allah Creates Mother's Milk According to the Baby's Needs
It is clear that the mother has not decided by herself to produce
mother's milk, which is the most ideal nutrient for her baby, born in
need of protection and nutrition, on her own. Therefore, the
nutritional values of the mother's milk are not determined by the
mother; this is because the mother cannot possibly know the nutrients
required for her baby moment to moment. The mother cannot control the
contents of the milk that are formed inside her body. Even if its
qualitiesare not completely defined, the mother's milk changes
according to the growth phases of the baby, and the milk's content
differs according to the nutrients the baby needsduring a certain
period. Almighty Allah, Who knows the needs of every being and grants
them, creates mother's milk inside the mother's body for the baby:
Milk is a colostrum in the first days the baby is born, so it is rich
in protein and antibodies. This milk strengthens thebaby's immune
system and helps the baby's digestive system develop.
After the first three to four days, the milk turns into a thinner,
more fluid and sweet form. This is for the baby's thirst. Sugars,
proteins and minerals are there according to the baby's need. This
milk is low in fat and rich in carbohydrates.
In time, milk takes a thicker and creamier form. This is to appease
the baby. At the same time, the IgA level is highfrom the 10 th day to
at least seven and a half months. The antibodies of this milk are
individualized, meaning different compositions according to every
baby's need. This is because Allah had created a special system for
this. As the mother touches and hugs the baby, the mother's body
communicates with pathogens that colonize the baby, and the mother's
body produces the suitable antibodies and immune cells.
In the milk of mothers who cast, miraculously, there is more fat,
sodium, chloride and iron according to the baby's need. However,
inbabies who are premature and feed with their own mothers' milk,
superiorities such as better sight and better results in IQ tests have
been observed.
There is very little iron in mother's milk, because iron is a
magnetfor bacteria and gut flora; if there were too much iron in milk,
this might have caused an infection.
Allah creates special treatments and a special nutrient that contains
medicine for the baby. The production center ofthis medicine is the
mother's body. The mother's body detects the invaders by caring only
for the baby. This situation is so perfect that it cannot be explained
by coincidences. There is nodoubt that Allah creates a very special
connection between the baby and the mother. It is revealed in the
verse:
" We have instructed man concerning his parents. Bearing him caused
his mother great debility and the period of his weaning was two years:
'Give thanks to Me and to your parents. I am your final destination. "
(Surah Luqman, 14).
Mother's milk is the nutrient that the baby can digest most easily.
Even though it is a very rich nutritional drink, its digestion is very
easy in accordance with the baby's sensitive systems. So as the baby
uses less energy to digest nutrients, it can use its energy for other
bodily functions, growth and development of organs.
Mother's milk, which is always ready with its ideal temperature, plays
an important role in brain development with the sugars and fats it
includes. Besides this, elements such as calcium play a major role in
the baby's bone development. Even though this miraculous mixture is
named as milk, 90% of mother's milk is actually composed of water.
This is also a very important aspect, because babies also need water
as liquidas well as nutrients. Water and other foreign substances
other than mother's milk may not be so hygienic. However,the baby's
need of wateris met with mother's milk, 90% of which is water.
HAMLET Is the Most Effective Medicine Yet Produced in the World
1- It kills a wide varietyof tumor cells. However, it does not
touch healthyand mature cells.
2- It kills more than 40 tumor cells, even those very difficult to
treat with medicines.
3- It kills tumor cells with a natural and non-toxic mechanism.
Therefore, it does not harm healthy tissues, in contrast to cancer
medicines.
4- It exists naturally in human milk and causes lower risk of
cancer in children that feed with mother's milk and in their mothers.
Almighty Allah, the All-Knowing, created mother's milk and HAMLET,
which is an important protein complex in this milk, as one of the
strongest medicines. Our Lord's name "Al-Shafi" (One Who gives health)
is revealed in one verse as such:
"And when I am ill, it is He Who cures me;" (Surah ash-Shu'arah, 80)

The protein that reveals the heart’s ability to repair itself: Thymosin Beta-4

Beyond all the miraculous systems in the body, the heart by itself is
one of the finest examples of flawless creation. No similar artificial
mechanism that"can keep someone alive" has thus far been built,
despite all the recent scientific advances. With the cells that
comprise it, its special valve systems andthe manner in which the
opening and closing of these valves is regulated, the heart is an
organ with exceptionally complex and special systems. No other organ
can do anything like the work itperforms.
· What happens in the event of an impairment in the functioning of thisorgan?
· How can the heart repair itself following a heart attack?
· What role does the thymosin beta-4 (TB4) molecule play in the
heart's self-repair?
Although it is only 22 days since its creation, a small collection of
cells on the left side of the fetus begins to move. This collection of
cells will never stop now, not for a very long time. It will never
tire. It will beat approximately 70 times per minute, some 35 million
times per year, and around two trillion times over the course of an
average lifespan. It will pump some 227 million liters of blood over
the course of a lifetime. It will tirelessly feed all the organs of
the body through the network of blood vessels . The heart functions
perfectly in every body because Allah so chooses, and everything it
does is under our Lord's control at every moment. Allah exhibits His
artistry of detail in the human body and reveals this in a verse:
" Allah brought you out of your mothers' wombs knowing nothing at all,
and gave you hearing, sight and hearts so that perhaps you would show
thanks." (Surat an-Nahl, 78)
This organ, the foundation of life, also uses blood to nourish itself.
However, in order to remind people of their weakness, our Lordmay
sometimes cause the vessels that feed the heart to narrow, using such
natural causes as cholesterol (blood fats), other fats, calcium and
combinations of other substances. This then leads to impaired
circulation in the blood vessels (coronary arteries) that supply the
heart, finally resulting ina heart defect. When thenarrowing of the
vessels turns into complete blockage over the course of time, the
resultis severe chest pain and a heart attack. This generally proves
fatal, though some victims do survive. But their hearts still suffer
damage from the attack.
Recent studies have onceagain shown Almighty Allah's love for and
mercy on His servants. Because a protein that the heart produces
during the developmental stage in children enables the damaged heart
to be repaired and increases the vessels supplying it.
The Healing Power of the Heart: Thymosin Beta-4
During a heart attack, heart cells die when the flow of blood to the
heart is suddenly cut off,resulting in irreparable damage. This damage
persists in the form of a decreased quality of life in the patient's
later life.
Until recently it used to be thought that, unlike other organs, the
heart had no ability to repair itself. Today, however, we know that
this damage can be put rightby the body. The proteinthymosin beta-4
(TB4), which plays a key role inthe development of the heart in
children, activates stem cells that are lie dormant in the adult
heart. These tiny proteins, known as thymosin, which comes in two
forms in living tissue, α 1 and β 4, possess the ability to reprogram
cells in the body. The protein is today administered in the form of a
drug, and sends the stem cells a code regarding the repair of the
heart. The heart thus heals itself without the need for other
treatment. Administered in pharmaceutical form, this protein improves
heart performance by upto 25% by causing stem cells to turn into heart
and artery cells. It repairs the damaged heart cells, increases the
arteries supplying the heart and permits the muscles to repair
themselves.
Allah, the Creator of All, Is Most Great
Events in our body that we are unaware of, and whose existence we have
usually never even heard of, take place inside us with the greatest
regularity. Our heartbeat, essential for our survival, is not
something we initiate ormaintain of our own will. Our heart is one of
the organs miraculously created by our Lord. Thisorgan begins beating
as a collection of cells whena person is still in his mother's womb,
and continues to flawlessly discharge its duties until the end of that
person's life.
Research in recent years has revealed that in the event of a defect
arising in this immaculately functioning organ, various proteins go
into action to repair it. However, proteins themselves possess no such
medical knowledgewith which to identify defects developing in the
heart, and lack the consciousness to save a person's life by taking
such precautions. Yet they are present in everyone's body and ready to
serve the same function. A protein with such superior properties is
neither the product of human intelligence nor of any supposed
evolutionary process. It was created by Allah, He who bestows order,
glory and perfection on all He creates. Allah is He Who meets the
needs of all created things ( Kafi ), He Who enfolds them ( Muhit )
and Who is mighty enough to do all that He wishes, in the manner He
wishes ( Kadir ). He is the only One to be thanked and praised ( Hamid
). He is the One who creates without previous models( Bedi ). This is
revealed in the following verse:
"the Originator of the heavens and earth. When He decides on
something, He just says to it, 'Be!' and it is." (Surat al-Baqara,
117)
The heart is made up of special muscles that never tire. If your heart
muscles were to tire in doing things that cause you fatigue, then you
could never do such routine day-to-day activities as cleaning, sport,
climbing up stairs and the like. You would be exhausted before youeven
began. But apart from exceptional diseases, this never happens.
Because Allah manifests His infinite mercy on His servants by
bestowing tirelessness on the muscles of the heart. There is no doubt
that this is one of the matchless works of our Lord, who knows all
things down to the finest detail and Who manifests His omniscience in
every detail. The omniscience of Allah is revealed in the following
verse:
"... My Lord encompasses all things in His knowledge so will you not
pay heed?" (Surat al-An'am, 80)
There is a highly systematic mechanism inthe heart. That mechanism is
essential for human life. Otherwise, a single flaw arising in the
system could spell the end of the life of the person concerned. The
most important of the heart's mechanisms is the pumps on its right and
left. There are also auricles and ventricles on both sides of the
heart. The small pumps on either side are the auricles, while the
ventricles constitute the large pumps. The left side of the heart is
occupied with clean blood. It is the task of the left auricle and
ventricle to ensure that incoming blood reaches the organs and
tissues. The right side of the heart is occupied with used (dirty)
blood. The right auricle and ventricle send the blood to the lungs for
cleaning.
The Heart Is An Immaculate Organ Created By Almighty Allah
It Pumps Blood with Ease: The heart is a piece of flesh the size of a
fist composed of water, fatsand proteins. This piece of flesh
possesses a moreperfect and complex system than the most advanced
technological pump that all the expertsin the world could produce
using their computers. This matchless piece of flesh is strong enough
to cause blood to spout up to three meters in the air.
It Identifies Oxygen Requirements: The heart pumps as much blood as it
calculates the body needs. This wondrous organ pumps just four tosix
liters of blood per minute when the body isat rest. That is enough for
the person at that time as the cells in the body do not require
thatmuch oxygen just then. But someone doing strenuous exercise
needsmore oxygen. Oxygen needs to be transmitted to the cells more
quickly.The heart immediately identifies this need and begins beating
faster. The amount of blood pumped by the heart increases by four to
seven times during exercise.
It Supports Tiring Muscles: The heart never stops working, but
sometimes it works evenharder than usual. Whenone runs, the amount of
blood pumped by the heart can rise to 2,270 liters an hour. It can
raise its work rate from 70 beats per minute to 180 per minute in
order to provide the oxygen our tiring muscles need. It can increase
the amount of blood supplied to the tissues five-fold. When our other
muscles engage in a tiring activity, the heart accelerates to support
them.
It Coordinates the Auricles and Ventricles: The system in the heart
has perfect timing. That is the result of co-ordination and
communication among the cells that comprise the heart. The noteworthy
thing here, of course, is the "intelligence" in the cellsthat act
under the inspiration of Allah. The cells that make up the heart send
a current to the other side of the heart at a speed of some60
centimeters per second. The signal is sentfrom a region known as the
S.A. node. The cells that make up the S.A. node produce the signal in
just 1/14 of a second. There are cells that produce a second current
here, known as the A.V. node. The current sets the two auricles into
motion as itpasses and causes them to contract in order to collect
blood. When the electric current, that is still moving, reaches the
ventricular muscles, special fibrous cells in the muscle tissue
between the right auricle and the right ventricle halt it. This causes
a delay in the current reaching the ventricle. The speed of the
current falls to 20 centimeters per second and it begins being
transmitted in 1/16 of a second. This delay is exceedingly important.
Because of it, the auricles fill with blood before the ventricles
contract, and are thus able to prepare themselves to pump blood. This
is the secret of the synchronized action of the heart.

The story of Prophet Saalih – I

After the destruction of 'Aad, the people of Prophet Houd Thamood, the
people of Prophet Saalih succeeded them in power and glory. They, like
their predecessors, fell to idol-worshipping. As their material wealth
increased so, too, did their evil ways, while their virtue decreased.
Like the people of 'Aad, they erected huge buildings on the plains and
hewed beautiful homes out of the hills. Tyranny and oppression became
prevalent as evil men ruled the land.
Allaah, the Exalted, sent unto them His Prophet Saalih a man from
among them. His full name was Saalih Ibn Ubeid Ibn Maseh Ibn Ubeid Ibn
Hader Ibn Thamood Ibn Ather Ibn Eram, Ibn Noah (Nooh ). He called his
people to worship Allaah alone, and not to associate any partners with
Him. While some of them believed him, the majority of themdisbelieved
and harmed him by both words and deeds. Allaah Said in the Quran (what
means): "And to Thamood [We sent] their brother Saalih.He said, 'O my
people, worship Allaah; you have no deity other than Him...' " [Quran
11:61]
Prophet Saalih was known for his wisdom, purity and goodness and had
been greatly respected by his people before Allaah's revelationcame to
him. Almighty Allaah mentions what his people said to him in the
Quranic verses (which mean): "O Saalih, you were among us a man of
promise before this. Do you forbid us to worship what our fathers
worshipped? And indeed we are, about that to which you invite us, in
disquieting doubt." [Quran 11:62]
They merely wanted to worship the same gods as their fathers had, with
no reason, no proof, and no thought. The proof of Prophet Saalih's
message was evident, but despite this, it was obvious that most of his
people did not believe him. They doubted his words, thinking he was
charmed, and they saw that he would not stop preaching. Fearing that
his followers would increase in number, they tried to put him off by
assigning him an important task; to prove that he was a messenger of
Allaah by performing amiracle. They asked him to let a unique
she-camel emerge from the mountains.
Allaah Almighty granted Prophet Saalih this miracle and a huge, unique
she-camel appeared from the direction of the mountain. The Quranic
commentators said that the people of Thamood gathered on a certain day
at their meeting place, and prophet Saalih came and addressed them to
believe in Allaah,reminding them of the favors Allaah had grantedthem.
Then, pointing at a rock, they demanded: "Ask your Lord to make a
she-camel, which must be10 months pregnant, tall and attractive, issue
fromthe rock for us." Prophet Saalih replied: "Look now! If Allaah
sends you what you have requested, just as you have described, will
you believe in that which I have come to you with and have faith in
the message I have been sentwith?" They answered: "Yes." So he took a
vow from them on this, and then prayed to Allaah, The Almighty, to
grant their request. Allaah ordered the distant rock to split asunder,
to bring forth a great ten-month pregnant she-camel. When their eyes
set on it,they were amazed. They saw a great thing, a wonderful sight,
a dazzling power and clearevidence!
A number of Prophet Saalih's people believed, yet most of them
continued in their disbelief, stubbornness, and going astray. Allaah,
the Almighty, said in the Noble Quran (what means): "And We gave
Thamood the she-camel as a visible sign, but they wronged her." [Quran
17:59] And (what means): "And certainly did the companions of al-Hijr
(628) [i.e. the Thamood] deny the messengers." [Quran 15:80-81]
There are a number of accounts by Quranic commentators of this
she-camel and its miraculous nature. It wassaid that the she-camel was
miraculous because a rock in the mountain split open and it came forth
from it, followed byits young offspring. Otheraccounts said that the
she-camel used to drink all the water in the wells in one day, and no
other animals could approach the water. Still others claimed that the
she-camel produced milk sufficient for all the people to drink, on the
same day that it drank allthe water, leaving none for them.
At first, the people of Thamood were greatly surprised when the
she-camel emerged from the mountain rocks. It was a blessed beast, and
its milk sufficient for thousands of men, women and children. If
itslept in a place that placewas abandoned by other animals. Thus it
was obvious that is was not an ordinary she-camel, but one of Allaah's
signs.
Their hatred of Prophet Saalih turned towardsthe blessed she-camel and
became centered on it. A conspiracy started to be hatched against the
miraculous beast by the disbelievers, and they secretly plotted
against it.
Prophet Saalih feared that they might kill her, so he warned them
saying (what means): "And O my people, this is the she-camel of Allaah
— [she is] to you a sign. So let her feed upon Allaah's earth and do
not touch her with harm, or you will be taken by an impending
punishment. " [Quran 11:64]
For a while, Prophet Saalih's people let the camel graze and drink
freely, but in their hearts they hated it. However, the miraculous
appearance of the unique she-camel caused many to become his
followers, and they clungto their belief in Allaah.
The disbelievers now began complaining that this huge she-camel with
its unusual qualities drank most of the water and frightened their
cattle.
They laid a plot to kill thebeast, and sought the help of their women
folk to tempt the men to carryout their commands. A lady named Saduq
Bint Mahya, who was from a rich and noble family, offered herself to a
young man named Masrai Ibn Mahraj on condition that he hamstrings the
she-camel. Aneezah, an old woman, offered one of her daughters to a
young man, Qudaar Ibn Saluf, in return for killingthe she-camel.
Naturally, these young men were tempted and set about finding seven
others to assist them.

'Uthaymeen is waiting for you in the salon."
The grandfather smiled and asked inquiringly, "Who is it Fahd? Talk seriously."
Fahd said insistently, "By Allaah, grandpa, Shaykh Al 'Uthaymeen is
sitting inthe salon."
The grandfather went to receive his guest and returned soon to hold
back the mother of Fahd from punishing him saying, "Leave him
daughter, Fahd did not lie. The day before yesterday, he heard me
talking to you about Shaykh Al 'Uthaymeen, May Allaah have mercy upon
him, whom I described as a slim round-faced man, with large eyes and a
thick white beard. When Fahd saw my friend Hajj Husayn, who has come
tovisit us, with the same appearance, he imaginedthat it was Shaykh Al
'Uthaymeen!"
Dear parent,
Lying is one of the most disturbing challenges for the one assuming
the child's upbringing, when the liar is his child. Just
astruthfulness is the summit of good morals, lying is among the most
hateful bad morals and attributes and one should do his best not to
allow it be one of the characteristics of his children, as it is a
blameworthy attribute and a prohibited behavior rejected by noble
souls.
In spite of the great importance of truthfulness in building the
child's personality, the attribute of lying is a prevalent behavior
among many children.
The parent is more confused when he sees his child lying repeatedly in
different contexts and situations. The parent here faces a real
problem: Why does his child lie? How should he prevent him from lying?
What is considered lying in children?
In order to treat the child's lying, we should study each situation in
which he lies individually, and get acquainted with the real motive
for his lying, and whether it goes back to his desire to have a good
appearance and conceal his feeling of inferiority, or whether it is
due to the child's extensive imagination and his failure to remember
events well. We also should wonder: Is lying instinctive or an
acquiredcharacteristic? Are there different kinds of lying among
children? What causes a child to lie? Is there a way to prevent the
child from lying and how should we treat the liar?
Dear parent and mentor,
Here are the answers to all those questions. Let usexplore this
article, in order to convey our children to the shore of truthfulness,
where Allaah The Almighty commanded us to be, as He Says (what means):
} O you who have believed, fear Allaah and be with those who are true.
{ [Quran 9:119]
First of all, we like to know, in some detail, about the concept and
manifestations of lying.
In his definition of lying, Dr. Ahmad Az-Zu'bi, Professor of
psychotherapy, says, "Lying is to tell something untrue in word, deed
and behavior, with the intention to cheat and deceive another person
to get a particular benefit, or get rid of something unpleasant." He
adds, "Lying, in this sense, is an abnormal habit and attitude that is
acquired by the child from the environment in which he lives."
Lying is an acquired and not an instinctive or hereditary behavior:
The child is not born a liar. However, there are many causes which
lead him to lie. That finding is confirmed by both psychologists and
educationists who see that children are born with a pure disposition,
and learn, step by step, truthfulness and honesty from their
environment ifthose surrounding them observe truthfulness in their
words and promises. Nevertheless, if the child is brought up in an
environment where the people are deceitful, evasive and doubtful, he
is more likely to learn the same behavioral attitudes in facing his
life and achieving his goals.
When the child lives in anenvironment which does not help to direct
and train him in the attitudes of truthfulness, it becomes easier for
him to lie -- especially if he has the capability of speaking fluently
and hasa fertile imagination.
Those two faculties, in addition to his imitating those surrounding
him who resort to lying and fabricate lame excuses to get out of
different situations, train him to liefrom his early childhood until
it becomes familiar to him and a habit.
Based on that, lying is an acquired and learnt and is not instinctive
or a hereditary behavior and attribute.
On the other hand, children may lie at different levels, some stronger
and worse than others. Those include:
Hiding a part of the reality:
If lying is to tell something that is different from the reality or
the facts, children mayincline to conceal even a simple part of the
fact, for some purpose or benefit they like in their view. For
example, a child may narrate a certain event completely except a
simple part just for the sake of entertainment.
Complete concealment:
In this case, the child inclines to conceal the event entirely. A
typical example is the school certificate: many childrentake the
school certificate and return it once again to the class teacher
without showingit to their parents.
Adding something to reality:
Some children, especially those who are young, may like to add some
details to the event whenrelating it, for the sake ofembellishment,
modification, drawing the attention of others orthinking those details
may really happen. For example, when the child says to his mother, "
My father told me to go to the grocery store to buy a bottle of
mineral water for him" and this is a reality, then he adds, "And told
me to keep the change to buy some sweets for myself" and this addition
is a lie which did not take place.
Fabrication:
This is the worst and the most terrible level of lying, where the
child fabricates an illusory story from his own imagination for a
certain purpose. Unfortunately, the child may swear that his claim is
true.
