Mirza Yawar Baig – How to explain it to a 5 year old

			Good evening.
		

			Saline Muhammad Rasool Allah, Allah Allah Allah He finally he was salam to
		

			my brother, my brother and sisters. Second question that I was asked was, how do you teach or talk
to and explain to a five year old child
		

			concepts of morality and
		

			concepts of Deen so on and so forth. For example, this Mother's telling me that her son father was
five years old. He says, Why did Allah create Shannon?
		

			Because shaitaan is evil? And so why didn't Allah just create the angels? Why decree Shiva?
		

			And so on? So why did Allah create you? Why do you give me?
		

			And the question the mother asked me was, how do I explain it to a five year old child?
		

			I have the answers. Listen to this carefully, because I think this is the trap. This is what
		

			gets people into difficulties which are self read.
		

			So
		

			I have the answers to give to an adult. But this is a five year old child. So what can I say?
		

			You know, to have two sides to this. First of all, I remember one of Einstein's Albert Einstein's I
think it stands Quartz
		

			was that he said that the the test of real understanding of anything, the test of real understanding
of anything is that you should be able to explain that to a five year old child.
		

			I think that's very true. You really understand something, the test of that is, can you explain it
to a five year old, and if you can explain to five year olds that you can understand that. But if
you can't explain to five year old, then maybe there is a doubt. So this is something which is
		

			which is worth thinking about. Now, we come to the show how to do that.
		

			One of the biggest fallacies and believe me, I've been a teacher now for 40 years.
		

			One of the biggest fallacies that we have is that we
		

			fool ourselves into believing that children and I'm not even talking about five year olds, I'm
talking about so called Youth. I'm talking about people who are in high school and who are in
college. I constantly have people, people don't know me, don't do that. But we knew our places. I've
constantly had people saying Shaq you know, our Sonic lectures and so on. We have to change the way
we say. And we have to do it in a different way. So that they are appealing to the youth and so on.
So now my question is
		

			the thing about it,
		

			this see how Rasul Allah Azza wa sallam, he was the best Muslim, the best teacher on the face of the
planet.
		

			He said, Allah subhanaw taala. He said, Boys to my lemon, Allah subhanaw taala sent me
		

			as a teacher, he sent me god, this is what he said before he sent me. He sent me other digital
		

			boys to one ever. So here is the Surah Nisa himself. So he's saying that the best teacher in the
world he's saying, see how he taught. Now, he didn't teach different people in different ways. He
taught them all in the same way they sat and they listen and, and they,
		

			they took in that knowledge, take up the live never so long, he lived with Salah and Abdullah of
numbers was, you know, maybe 10 years old or less. And he became one of the not one of the became
the first and the greatest Mufasa explainer of the Quran.
		

			This is a big force in our heads that we think that we need to talk down to children, we need to
dumb down knowledge. This is the the this is the big
		

			trap. And this is the big disservice to education that we do. Even in our schools, where textbooks
or any dumbing down of the source books from Western knowledge comes, you know, the first first
thing that happens when you dumb it down, is it becomes dead and it becomes boring and and people
are you're just forced to muck it up to pass exams. And that is why children hate schools. Many most
children they hate school, they hate learning. Just ask yourself if you if you want to disagree with
me, ask yourself what do children do with textbooks once they graduate? Have you ever seen in your
whole life? And you must have gone to school as well? Did you ever pick up a textbook after you
		

			graduated? In my days, there was a guy who's to buy
		

			The old books.
		

			Quite literally, I'm not exaggerating, quite literally students, we, after we graduated, we passed
exams between the school and home, we would go to this
		

			old books, bookshop and sell our old textbooks, get some money, and then you go,
		

			we wouldn't even take the trouble of taking those textbooks home because it was a burden. Why would
I want to carry those things? I'm not going to read them ever again in my life.
		

			This is what happens when you dumb down knowledge. How do you talk to a five year old, you talk to a
five year old child like to talk to a 50 year old man or woman? Right? Same way, no difference? Talk
to them with seriousness. explain things to them. Maybe you have to say two or three times maybe you
have to give examples. Maybe you have to take them and show them something and demonstrate it.
Please do that.
		

			So if the Gen asked you, why did a loss of recreation first was first we'll answering that we say
hamdulillah the beautiful question. Absolutely fantastic question.
		

			And keep thinking, right? Ask yourself why. But before we go, the
		

			first thing to understand in the principles of Islam is with respect to Allah subhanaw taala. We do
not ask the question why?
		

			Or how?
		

			For something which Allah has not explained,
		

			for example, Allah if you ask me, Why did Allah create you is asking the Mother, why did it like for
you to? Why did Allah create me? The child is asking himself, he said, I can answer that question
because Allah subhanaw taala told us a lot about that. I said, Well Mark Allah to Jinnah, well, Insa
Illa Allah.
		

			So Allah subhanaw taala created the gem and the insam for nothing other than worshipping Him
geladeira. So Allah did not create Shaitan to be evil. Allah did not create Schatten as a symbol of
evilness. Allah did not create Shaitan in order to deceive people and to take people into Jannah.
This is what Schatten chose for himself. Now this is the way to explain to them and say, if you say
Why did Allah, Allah created Jin, one of those gyms, it shatter? Allah created human beings, one of
those human beings, is and think of the most evil human being that you can imagine, and see one of
those human beings is so and so. Or was so and so here, this evil person. So you might say, Well,
		

			why did Allah create this evil person? Allah did not create that evil person to be evil. Allah
subhanaw taala created human beings, Allah subhanaw taala didn't give them guidance. Allah subhanaw
taala gave sent the Navi Allah Sumatra sent his Kitab, Allah Subhana Allah has made every means
available for the person to be a good person. And that person instead of being a good person turns
into an evil person. So how can you say Why did Allah create evil person, Allah did not create the
evil person as evil person, Allah Subhana directasia person, the person chose to be good or evil,
according to what they wanted. And so also with shaitan, Allah subhanaw taala creation shaitaan is a
		

			gem, he chose to be evil.
		

			So say Allah subhanaw taala created the jinn. One of them was Satan was a bliss. And he decided to
do what he would what he decided to do.
		

			Right? So it's not a question of did electrons think about this? So similarly, answer questions for
people. Don't worry about the age, you will be surprised how much little children know and how much
they understand and how much information they can process. Five years is a is an old little boy.
Right? They start much earlier than that. You will be surprised how much little kids who are one
year or two year old how much they already know. They may not be able to conceptualize that and to
convert that into, into into some kind of, you know, advanced understanding. But don't fool yourself
do not say or what you see is a small child and how can I speak speak to your speaking to a human
		

			being and Allah subhanaw taala give them the capacity to understand is also a stretch for you to
learn how to explain and how to how to give examples and how to help people understand. Please do
that.
		

			Right? Do that. Do not talk down to children do not talk to children as if they're stupid. They're
not stupid. They're very, very smart. On a side note, this is one of the problems that we have. I
don't know about other countries, but yeah, definitely in Hyderabad, where we speak to children
literally in a distorted way.

rubbish please talk to them properly talk with them using good language talk to them in chest
language, let them understand that them hear the sound of well spoken language whichever language it
is and they will pick up the vocabulary they will learn to speak like that and they will understand
