			Bismillah

			Alhamdulillah hunkapi Tehran,

			Saudi follow me. Alma boo

			tottering Allah Assadi a liberal
Miami, one Tabea homes.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			Ilario Medina, Allah minim.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:07
			So my dear brothers and sisters
respected teachers say the maid
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:13
			has assigned me this task of
talking to you today.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			And
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:21
			I'm not very familiar with your
school. I know it goes from K
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			through 12.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			My own background i
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:32
			My name is Muhammad Ali has Raji.
I am originally from India.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:37
			And I am a practicing neurologist
in Massachusetts.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			And I've been involved
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:48
			with the work of the dean and one
of the Hardin in the seminary of
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			Chef mortarboard Ravi.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			So today,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:58
			I just want to make a few remarks
for the first 30 minutes or so.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:05
			And then I want to open this up
for an interaction with you and to
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			hear from you and to learn from
you.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:13
			Learn about your experiences, and
in the end, if time permits
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:17
			Inshallah, if there are any
questions, we can try and deal
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			with that.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			So I'd like to approach this
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			with four questions.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:31
			And the four questions are why,
who, what? And how?
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:37
			So the first question is, why do
you teach
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:45
			and we will inshallah begin with
this. What is your intention in
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:50
			being a teacher and especially a
teacher in an Islamic school?
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:55
			And that's something that each one
of us has to answer for
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			themselves.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:04
			So I want you to realize that you
are special people
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:11
			you have been given the greatest
the best job because this is the
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:17
			job of the greatest my greatest
teachers so you're gonna run out
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			of school last so long
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			as the last one Allah says
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:29
			yet to Allah He my Yachty he were
you exactly him? Were you at the
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:33
			level who will keytab when echoing
Councilman Abdullah phenylalanine
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:39
			movie? Allah subhanaw taala centum
smo alum to teach the book, the
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:45
			Quran and the Sunnah, which covers
all of our deen. So rasool Allah
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			Subhan Allah Ania cinemas centers
and Nabi he was sent as a result
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:53
			he was centers nadeet He was
centers a machine he was centers,
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:58
			Rahmatullah Alameen he was sent as
Sirajul muneera and he was sent as
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			Mr. Allen
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:08
			So, this is the importance of your
job, you and what you do is going
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:15
			to influence the next generation
of Muslims, you have more
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:21
			influence in the tarbiyah of these
children that you teach, sometimes
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:26
			more than their own parents in
many cases, because, you know, in
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:29
			the environment that we live here
in the West, sometimes both
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:34
			parents are working. And the
children spend more quality time
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:38
			with you than with their own
parents, the parents come home
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			tired,
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:44
			they eat, they sleep, they
entertain themselves, they do not
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:49
			really have time for that role of
tarbiyah, which has been given to
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:55
			you. So you have to assume that
responsibility.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			And what you impart to these
children,
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:07
			what you help to make of these
children will be with them for the
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			rest of their lives.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:15
			All their good deeds, all that
good deeds will also be written in
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:21
			your account, as Rasulullah
sallallahu taught us. So you are
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:26
			fortunate, and you must thank
Allah subhanaw taala that she has
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			given you this opportunity.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:35
			And therefore, you have to also
realize the magnitude of this
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:42
			Amana distrust that has been given
to you, and you should feel a
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			burden of responsibilities.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:50
			And your work as a teacher in the
Islamic school isn't that bad?
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			It's a great honor.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:57
			And with great honor, comes great
responsibilities.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:02
			And therefore, you must and I
must, like we do and everything
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			else, check your near
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			in what you're doing. Do that
periodically. And frequently.
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			Because as we know, in an MLM
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:17
			we are not coming here for a
paycheck. That's a fringe benefit.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:23
			You are coming here because of the
Amana, you are the ones who are
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:28
			raising next generation of
Muslims. Whatever they become in
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:32
			this country's, how the deen is
spread whatever they do for the
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:36
			kingdom of this Deen. It will also
be written in your accounts
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:42
			without diminishing their rewards.
And this is the generosity of
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:46
			alchemy. So it's very, very
important to understand why you
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:51
			are doing this. And the next
question is, who are you?
		
00:07:53 --> 00:08:00
			by that? I mean, what values? What
morals do you represent? What do
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:03
			you manifest in your life?
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:10
			As you said, we cannot give what
we don't have copy to shine light
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:10
			on.
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:16
			Whoever doesn't have it cannot
impart it. If we don't have
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:20
			truthfulness, we cannot impart
truthfulness to the children, we
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:24
			can teach them, and they may
absorb some of it. But when we
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:31
			practice that has the most impact.
So you must as an individual, for
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:36
			yourself, develop and nurture in
your own character, those
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:41
			qualities that you want to see in
your students, and I'm not
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:46
			implying in any way that you don't
have them. But this is a reminder
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:50
			for in advocrats and for many and
I remind that
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:59
			reminder is for myself first that
you and I must make yourself and
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:04
			myself that role model for these
children, for the people who we
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:10
			interact with. That was what will
happen. That best of example, that
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:16
			walking Quran, gana Hulagu Al
Quran as Rasul Allah salAllahu
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:21
			Salam is described. And we do that
through the process of this Kia
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:27
			through LM and AMA, that we learn
and we implement those in our
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:32
			lives to manifest the purpose of
our creation which is her booty
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:38
			off Allah subhanaw taala that we
want to be through a bad in that
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:44
			honorific meaning of a law the
law. That's why Allah Tala created
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:51
			us. I love to Gina well inside
Leah dune says Allah subhanaw
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:56
			taala did not create mankind and
jinn kind for any other purpose
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			except to be are a bad for either.
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:06
			So you must prepare yourself and
work on yourself. And I must work
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:12
			on myself to be that role model,
that the children that we interact
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:16
			with, need so desperately in the
world today.
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:23
			So you must be that ultimate
influencer in their lives
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:32
			that they shouldn't be impacted by
so called influencers that come to
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:37
			them through their devices. And
you must show that by your actions
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			by your o'clock by a condom.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:45
			It is said that children listen
with their eyes.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:53
			It is not about the nice things
you say the right things you say
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:59
			the eloquence of how you say it,
it is about your actions, do your
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:05
			actions reflect what you see, what
you say, what you teach,
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:12
			the children see what you do and
take that as the lesson.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:17
			So, that is point number two, who
we need to be
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:25
			the third item? The third question
is what what do you teach
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:33
			and ultimately, all education
boils down to how it will benefit
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:36
			the children in the present and
future.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			The present is the life of this
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			and the future is there.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:52
			How is my teaching my class today,
my words going to impact their
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:52
			life
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:59
			positively or negatively in the
dunya and in the UK. So that is
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:06
			all on the summary of education.
And therefore, our focus in
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:10
			education should always be on the
heat,
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:14
			experienced heat, and o'clock.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:18
			Character, manners, ethics.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:24
			So when you teach them, you must
relate everything that they
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:28
			learned back to Allah azza wa jal
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:34
			whether it is in a class where
you're teaching them Islamia, or
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			of secular sites,
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:43
			don't leave them suspended at the
level of cause and effect
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:47
			Allah's laws of material
causality,
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:54
			but always take them back the next
step to the creator of the cause
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:57
			and effect, the creator of the
laws in nature,
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:02
			therefore, relate to everything
that you teach them
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:06
			as being a manifestation of the
USMA
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			of Allah subhanaw taala in his
labors,
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:17
			when you teach them, don't let
them understand anything as being
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			attributed to chance.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:24
			Or to science, science is just
discovering the laws of Allah
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			subhanaw taala.
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:31
			Take them back to the creative
with
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			the another konia of Allah
subhanaw taala.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			So,
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:45
			ultimately, what you teach should
be within that envelope that
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:50
			teaches them to hate, that they
relate everything that happens to
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:56
			them around them in their world,
in their future, that the related
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:58
			to Allah subhanaw taala the Jalon
of Allah.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			When you are discussing current
events, whether they are wars,
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:06
			whether they are earthquakes,
whether there are floods, whether
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:10
			they are famines, whether they are
good things you relate them to
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:15
			Allah subhanaw taala as asthma or
SIFAT This is the gelato of Allah
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:19
			subhanaw taala manifesting in this
way, and this could be the reason
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:24
			this is the gem and the beauty,
the Mercy of Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			that is manifested in this.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:33
			So, that is what we must teach and
impart on our children.
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:37
			And the next question is, how do
you teach?
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:44
			So, now we come to teaching
techniques and you have been
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:49
			educated as teachers. So you
probably know more than I'm sure
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			you definitely know more than me.
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:57
			And I'm always learning and we
will Inshallah, learn from you
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			towards the end of the session.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:06
			From what I know, that you must
know each child and their God
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:07
			given potential,
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:13
			you must familiarize yourself with
their background
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:18
			and the baggage that some of them
some of these children are
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:19
			burdened with at home.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:25
			What are they going through at
home? What is their family life?
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:30
			Like? What is their social and
economic life, like?
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:38
			So, what does a typical day in my
child's life we look at looks like
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:38
			that.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:46
			And then we have to talk to them
at their level of maturity, their
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:47
			level of understanding.
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:54
			And in every interaction with the
children, that interaction should
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			be one off sands.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:58
			Allah is watching
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:04
			interaction of excellence, it
should be meaningful, it's not
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			just the routine that I'm going to
teach.
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:12
			No minute of your teaching is
routine. It has meaning it has
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:16
			significance, it's an opportunity,
it's a golden opportunity, you
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:18
			have a captive audience.
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:23
			So make it meaningful, make it
interesting.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:30
			And be that example. So that that
child loves you, trust you, and
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:33
			wants to be like you wants to
emulate.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:39
			Because your job is to bring that
child
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:44
			to the peak of his god given
potential.
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:52
			So let's take some examples from
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam what
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			he gave how much he gave to whom?
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59
			Because not everything is to be
told to everyone.
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:05
			One day Rasul Allah salAllahu
Alaihe. Salam was on his right.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:09
			And so you didn't Why didn't you
juggle was on the camel behind
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:09
			him?
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13
			And he said Yama odd.
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:16
			Lubbock Ya Rasulullah saw day.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:23
			Here I am. At your service. You're
sort of again you said yeah, I'm
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			on
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:29
			the bike bake your deck three
times. And this is also this
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:34
			repetition to catch attention is a
technique of the best of the my
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			lips Hola Hola. Hola.
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:43
			Then Rasulullah sallallahu sallam
said says Yama wherever testifies
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:48
			sincerely to La ilaha illAllah
Muhammad Rasool Allah.
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:52
			Allah has made the Hellfire
sorbitan for them.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:59
			And so you're gonna Ma says Yasuda
Should I give this Bashara to all
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:03
			the people tell everyone about
this? Surah allah sallallahu
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:06
			alayhi salam said, and no, don't
tell anyone.
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:08
			Shocking.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:15
			He said because if they know this,
they will become lacks in their
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:21
			actions. So the point of this is
that not everything is to be told.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:25
			So how do we know about this?
Because when so you don't have
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:30
			admin jungler the Allah was dying.
He narrated this hadith because he
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:34
			didn't want this Bashara to die
with him. So he told the people at
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:35
			his death.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:42
			So in this regard, Imam Ghazali
Rasul Allah tells us, that one of
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:47
			the duties of the teacher is to
confine themselves to the extent
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			of the students understanding,
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:55
			not try and impart on that student
matters, which are beyond his
		
00:18:56 --> 00:19:01
			intellect, and understanding that
they cannot fathom, because then
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			you alienate them or you may
confuse them.
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:09
			Therefore, we must impart only
what what the student can
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:12
			understand and therefore against
stressing the importance of
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:19
			knowing the level and intellectual
capacity of each student.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			Another example of
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:29
			knowing the students and what
their potential is, one day, a
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:32
			young man, for sure Allah
salAllahu Alaihe Salam was sitting
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:36
			with his companions and a young
man comes and said, Ya rasool
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:37
			Allah,
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:41
			when I'm fasting, can I kiss my
wife
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam says
not
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:47
			and he left.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:51
			After a while, an old man came
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:57
			Subhanallah and he asked the same
question. Rasul Allah Listen, when
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			I'm fasting, can I kiss my wife?
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			I saw allah sallallahu alayhi
salam say, yes.
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:10
			Now the Companions who were with
him, have exchanged glances with
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:12
			each other, at this contradiction
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16
			Rasulullah Salallahu Salam, the
ultimate.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:23
			He said, translate, I know why you
are looking at each other.
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:28
			Because of that contradiction, he
said the old man can control
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:29
			himself.
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:34
			And therefore, he gave him that
flexibility. The young man would
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:39
			have more difficulty, and he might
break is fast. So everything has
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:42
			to be tailored according to their
capacity. And we'll give you
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:45
			another example. A person came to
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam,
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:49
			Yasuda, Allah salAllahu Alaihe
Salam, I want to go for Jihad and
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:50
			you know that is the peak of
Islam.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:55
			And what does Rasulullah
sallallahu Sallam say to him?
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:57
			Are your parents alive?
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			And he says, yes, yes.
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:07
			He said Your job is to stay with
them and in service.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:13
			So again, we have to customize for
each student.
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:19
			What do you want to teach what you
want them to take home.
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:22
			The next thing is
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:26
			to seize every teaching moment.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:33
			These are our opportunities. You
have a formal class. But whatever
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:34
			happens
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:39
			is a teaching moment. And again,
we take the examples of the best
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:40
			of them I learned some
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:47
			that he used to seize every
teaching moment with wisdom, with
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:51
			kindness, with logic at the level
of the people who are there.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			To that famous Hadith.
		
00:21:56 --> 00:22:00
			Abdullah bin you have Basara the
Allah Anoma is riding behind them
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:03
			in the camel and Rasulullah
Salallahu Salam says,
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:09
			addressing him in that intimate
way, or young man should not teach
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:09
			you something.
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:15
			He's on a ride. Like we are
traveling with the children in a
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:19
			bus. We have children in the
backseat. Use that moment for
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:20
			teaching.
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:22
			Similarly,
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:26
			one time Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi salam is with his
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:32
			companions. And the prisoners of
war are coming in. And as young
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:39
			woman is running around in those,
these were prisoners from housing,
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:43
			the tribal phlorizin And she's
looking desperately until she
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:47
			finds her little child. And then
she picks him up, hugs him and
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:48
			starts to
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:52
			nurse him. And I sort of allah
sallallahu
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:59
			seizes that moment. He says to his
companion, do you think this woman
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			can throw her child into hellfire?
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:07
			Okay, the question
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:09
			from that scene
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:16
			and they see ya rasool Allah, she
would make her ultimate effort to
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			keep him from the Hellfire
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:22
			can and then the punch line is
diverse.
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:29
			He said and Allah subhanho wa
Taala is certainly more merciful
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:33
			to His servants than this woman is
to her child.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:38
			Look at that opportunity. One day
he is sitting in the night with
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:43
			his companions. And there is a
full moon like we had two days
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:43
			ago.
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:48
			And he looks at the moon Salah
Newson
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:51
			and he says to his companion,
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:59
			you see that moon? Clearly, one
day you will see your Lord,
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:02
			clearer than that.
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:05
			And you will not crowd each other.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:10
			And then he gives an action.
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:16
			He stresses the son of Fajr an
acid. He says
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:24
			the meaning of the Hadith that
don't relate your fatigue or your
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:26
			occupation or your sleep overpower
you
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:30
			for the salah of before
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:35
			the dawn and the salah before the
sunset, and then you decide to the
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:41
			IR from Surah path was some become
the Rebecca Lewis Shamcey
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:42
			Abdullah.
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			Glorify your Lord,
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:54
			the setting of the sun and before
it's sunrise. So again, seizing
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:59
			moments, they can be mundane, to
bring focus and to make
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:00
			Teaching.
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:03
			And another technique
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:09
			that Rasulullah sallallahu
sometimes used
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:17
			was to teach by asking questions,
he would ask a question, just like
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:20
			we said, Should I not teach you?
What do you think of this?
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:27
			To make them think? So sometimes
instead of just, as we say,
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:32
			regurgitating what we want to
teach, teach them periodically by
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:33
			asking them the question.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:39
			And Rasulullah Salallahu Salam
used to sometimes use gentle
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:40
			humor.
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:43
			He would smile off,
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:46
			keep the children
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:54
			engaged. Don't let them be
fearful. He was always smiling.
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:59
			It's a charity to lighten the
atmosphere. Sometimes he would use
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:00
			jokes.
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:05
			But in every joke, he always told
the truth.
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:08
			Even in joking,
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:11
			like the man who came to him
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:17
			looking for something from the
model of minima, and he said,
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:22
			Yara, Sula, Salalah Listen, give
me a camel so I can carry my
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:26
			burden. You know, sort of masala
they said, I've said, I'll give
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			you the child of a camel.
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:35
			And the man said, yes. What am I
going to do with a child? How will
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:36
			that have a camel?
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:41
			What will that do for me? Man
Rasulullah Salallahu Salam Ynez,
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:47
			he said smile isn't camel, any
camel the child of another cow.
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:53
			And similarly we have that story
of the old woman who came, said Ya
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:59
			rasool Allah salAllahu Salam, make
dua, that I am an old woman that
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:00
			our intergender
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:06
			Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said,
No all at once. Enter John.
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			And the woman starts to
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:16
			be on the brink of crime. And then
he adds, except as a young
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:19
			she will enter as a young.
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:28
			So use gentle humor. Don't make it
a comedy show either because there
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:31
			is adults and there is respect.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:37
			And, as you know, in all of our
dealings, especially with our
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:37
			children,
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:45
			being gentle, in Milan are a
frequent risk. Gentle, he loves
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:51
			gentleness. So we have to be kind
and merciful. And there is a
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:55
			plethora of examples from the
Sierra of Rasulullah.
		
00:27:57 --> 00:28:03
			The mother of Santa Ana Sivan and
much Malik was very smart. When he
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:07
			was a little child. She brought
him to Rasulullah sallallahu
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:12
			that he will serve you. He said
Salah Now listen, what can this
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:13
			little child do?
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:18
			And she said, Well, if nothing
else, he will bring water for your
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:18
			mother.
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:25
			Because she knew who was going to
do the RBL for a child that she
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:30
			couldn't do a job even close to
that and say that Anastasia Malik,
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:31
			or the hola Juan
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:35
			grew up with Rasul Allah
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:43
			in his company for 10 years and
what does he say? 10 years Rasul
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:47
			Allah salAllahu. Salam never
scolded me for any.
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:53
			Even we have that one incident
when he was told to do something.
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			And one Rasul Allah salAllahu
Alaihe. Salam asked him, Have you
		
00:28:56 --> 00:29:00
			done it? He said, No, I was busy
playing.
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:07
			Even there are sort of Lhasa
lawyers and did not score. So
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:11
			kindness, gentleness, very, very
important.
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:16
			And we have that story of that
kindness, that compassion towards
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:17
			children,
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:22
			again narrated by none other than
say the *, Edna Malik, or the
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:23
			Allah one.
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:28
			He said that Rasulullah Salallahu
Salam used to come and visit us
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:30
			frequently in our home.
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:39
			And I had a younger brother, who
was called finally abou from
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:43
			the father of little Omar, and he
was a little child.
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:46
			And he had a bird that he used to
play with.
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:51
			And then one day, whatever
happened, that bird died
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:57
			and Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam
happened to come into the house
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59
			and he saw
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:06
			that that little child looked
depressed, and down and tearful,
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:11
			and he asked what is the matter
with him? So they told him
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:13
			privately that his bird has died.
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:18
			So Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam
goes to this little,
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:23
			knowing the trauma that just
suffered, can you sit to this
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:29
			imagine the scene probably puts it
around this child. And then he
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:32
			says, yeah, about a man.
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:40
			No way, he makes a little poetry,
Oh, father of omega. What did that
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:41
			little bird do?
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:48
			So, just imagine
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:55
			when, today we might say that we
are, how can we experience the
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:59
			pain of the death of a bird when
there is so much suffering in the
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:00
			ummah.
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:07
			Yet even in this moment, we have a
perfect of examples SallAllahu
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:12
			despite the persecution despite
the hardship despite the ridicule,
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:14
			despite the wars.
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:23
			Despite the multiple challenges
that Rasulullah sallallahu sallam
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:30
			was facing, he found time to sit
next to a little child and console
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:32
			him on the passing of his bird.
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:35
			What an ocean of Russia.
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:39
			What an ocean of Russia,
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:46
			his gentle kindness, his
eloquence, it creates a rhyme for
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:48
			him to provide him relief.
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:53
			He didn't ask about the details,
did you kill the birds?
		
00:31:56 --> 00:32:00
			And books have been written about
lessons derived from this
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:02
			particular Hadith.
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:06
			And the next thing
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:10
			you must teach the children values
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:18
			truthfulness, trustworthiness,
generosity, kindness, respect,
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:25
			compassion, how to meet and greet
as Muslims, how to have
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:30
			consideration for others ethos,
giving preference to others. Tell
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:34
			them stories of incidents and
examples from the syrup. It's
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:35
			resplendent
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:38
			with highlights that
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:43
			frame character values
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:51
			get them to revere to love
Rasulullah sallallahu to want to
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:54
			be like Him, to walk in His
footsteps
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:58
			and to take him as the ultimate
role model.
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:03
			Talk to them frequently in class
talk about him.
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:09
			Use statements sometimes like what
do you think Rasulullah sallallahu
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:11
			Sallam would do in this situation?
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:13
			Recognize them
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:20
			sorry,
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:26
			the battery on my laptop died.
Sorry for the technical
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:26
			difficulty.
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:28
			Can you hear me?
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:31
			Okay.
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:33
			So we were talking about
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:41
			that we must use stories from the
seed of Rasulullah sallallahu
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:47
			Sallam that highlight values that
they get to love Rasool allah
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:48
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:53
			And we stopped at frequently
asking them
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:58
			what would Rasool allah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam do in a situation
		
00:33:58 --> 00:33:58
			like this.
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:05
			And then when you see good from
the children, you must recognize
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:05
			them
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:10
			and reward them for their good
behavior and conduct
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:16
			and instill Islamic values of
right and wrong.
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:24
			And do your best to protect them
from the poison that they are
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:29
			exposed to in today's school
systems and on social media and
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:36
			everything else and try and de
emphasize the use of devices
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:38
			and teach them
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:43
			the dangers, the harm,
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:51
			using real statistics of the
dangers of their smartphones, of
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:59
			bullying, of recruitment into all
kinds of odd groups of depression
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:00
			and may
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:00
			mental illness
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:05
			that has been discovered as a
result of the use of the
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:10
			smartphones. Just this last week,
there is a very useful article
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:14
			that you may be able to access in
the New York Times, dealing with
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:20
			all the mental illnesses that they
have. They're discovering art of
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:24
			use of smartphones, and what
children are exposed to specially
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:28
			young girls. So look at those
discuss these things with the
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:29
			children.
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:34
			And then, of course, always
stressing to them the real values,
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:40
			the fundamentals of our dean, the
constants of our Dean's character
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:46
			of luck, integrity, morals,
ethics, so
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:51
			that we can move them from just
having an appetite for what
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:56
			everybody else has, which is
money, and toys, and more toys.
		
00:35:57 --> 00:36:02
			Instead, teach them to make the
right choices in their life, even
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:08
			when they are shopping, when they
want to buy a toy, why they should
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:13
			buy one, not the other, what kinds
of toys are educational, which are
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:16
			beneficial, which challenged the
mind and intellect.
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:23
			So teaching them even from the
stage to make good choices, in
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:25
			everything they do, no matter how
mundane.
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:31
			And explain, don't just say do
this, don't do that explain how
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:37
			each choice and every action has
an impact has consequences. They
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:41
			can be positive consequences, or
they can be negative consequences,
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:47
			and their level and what it would
do what impact it would have later
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:48
			in life.
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:53
			And SN
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:56
			excellence,
		
00:36:57 --> 00:37:01
			every class of yours, every
interaction with the children
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:07
			should be one. And it's only one
of excellence, which would put
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:12
			emphasis on class prep. On lesson
planning.
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:18
			What do I want the children to
really take home keeping that
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:23
			greater maksud always in the
forefront? What is that greatest
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:29
			of all muckety muck acid that I
want this child to know, his or
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:35
			her robbed? Allah subhanaw taala.
I want them to love Allah.
		
00:37:36 --> 00:37:41
			And I want them to develop the
best values and the best of
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:42
			character.
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:48
			How can I do this with this class
that I'm about to teach?
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:55
			What do I need to weave into the
class? And how do I need to do
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:57
			that? To achieve that.
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:08
			And you have to also impart on the
children a son, excellence in what
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:08
			they do.
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:15
			That everything they do, should be
with the standard of perfection to
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:19
			their best ability, whether it's
academic work, whether it's their
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:20
			homework,
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:27
			behavior in class, or on the
playing field, stress, and
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:29
			appreciate and acknowledge
excellence.
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:35
			And we have in the world that we
live in today, especially in the
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:39
			West, we have to be teach them to
be proud of their Islamic
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:40
			heritage.
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:46
			Proud of the privilege of being a
Muslim, that we are the best of
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:47
			nations
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:51
			do that.
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:59
			Tell them a lot of stories.
Because stories even in adults,
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:03
			when you give talks to adult
stories have an impact. They catch
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:08
			people's attention and say you
know Nolan or Sula, Somalia Salam
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:15
			wa sallam par excellence used to
narrate stories, like the story of
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:20
			Jura age, for example, the story
of the three men who were
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:26
			entrapped in a cave when the rock
fell the story of the cloud that
		
00:39:26 --> 00:39:30
			went and rained on the field of a
particular farmer.
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:37
			And swamps of Rasulullah
sallallahu Sallam told stories. Of
		
00:39:37 --> 00:39:40
			course, they were real stories.
And we have now a lot of stories
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:44
			from the Hadith from the Sierra
and from the stories of the
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:50
			Gambia. So select for them and
integrate some stories in your
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:56
			class. Because that's how we catch
their interest stories. My
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:59
			grandchildren have raised children
I have grandchildren so
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:04
			Have a note that mashallah they
always remember, my two
		
00:40:04 --> 00:40:08
			granddaughters were visiting the
littlest one seven year old says,
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:14
			Nana go to sleep with you because
you tell the best stories. That
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:17
			just tells you the impact the
stories have.
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:25
			So, use stories, narrate them, and
use the stories of the great role
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:30
			models from Islamic history. Going
back to the Gambia to Rasul Allah
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:34
			salAllahu Alaihe Salam to the
Sahaba make them familiar with
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:38
			them, to the family of Rasulullah
sallallahu. To say that our
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:41
			Maulana Ali, or the Allah Han
Karim, Allah Wa,
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:49
			have the bravery of a Shuja of of
their uprightness of the justice,
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:51
			all of those
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:58
			Islamic heroes after the Sahaba
like Salahuddin, a UB, and so on,
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:03
			so forth. The great Islamic
scientists, the mathematicians,
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:08
			the discoverers, the philosophers,
the great contributors, there is a
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:12
			book about the contribution of, of
Muslims.
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:18
			And it's very useful read, I think
it's a must read for every
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:24
			every teacher in Islamic school
and even in teachers in public
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:28
			schools, the contributions of
Muslims in everything
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:35
			and you encourage them that we
need to reclaim that great Islamic
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:36
			heritage.
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:43
			So in summary, we are coming to
the end of this in terms of
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:44
			teaching techniques,
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:50
			what can be better than to follow
the best of teachers, so you're
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:52
			gonna Maulana Rasulullah
sallallahu.
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:59
			So in this regard, I strongly
recommend the book by Sheikh Abdul
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:05
			Fattah Hubbard, that famous Syrian
Hanafi jurist and Hadith scholar
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:11
			of the last century, who is better
than Jonathan Bucky in Medina. He
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:13
			was buried in 1997.
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:15
			And among his students are chef
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:22
			chef Muhammad Taqi Usmani, those
of you who know him, Chef, Salman
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:28
			Hussein another way from the Indo
Pak subcontinent, among others,
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:32
			and his masterpiece work is on
Rasul Allah, Allah.
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:38
			And this is now available in an
English translation. It's well
		
00:42:38 --> 00:42:38
			done.
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:44
			The title of the book is Muhammad,
the perfect teacher.
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:51
			I think you can see it Muhammad,
the perfect teacher, and insight
		
00:42:51 --> 00:42:56
			into his teaching methods. It's a
small book about
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:05
			210 pages or so, I think and I
strongly recommend that all of you
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:09
			get it, and you must read it that
I think it's a must read. And I
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:15
			recommend and I try and read it
frequently, a few times, and work
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:17
			it into your teaching techniques.
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:19
			And finally,
		
00:43:22 --> 00:43:26
			no matter what we do, we don't
achieve our goals because we are
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:28
			always deficient and therefore
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:32
			turn to Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:40
			Frequently, before each class,
make the art each day coming to
		
00:43:40 --> 00:43:47
			school, because it is another day
of a bother another opportunity to
		
00:43:47 --> 00:43:47
			please
		
00:43:48 --> 00:43:54
			ask Allah subhanaw taala earnestly
to be able to discharge your
		
00:43:54 --> 00:43:56
			responsibility of teaching
		
00:43:58 --> 00:44:02
			in a manner that is pleasing to
Him as urgent
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:08
			each day is another opportunity to
serve the cause of Allah subhanaw
		
00:44:08 --> 00:44:08
			taala
		
00:44:09 --> 00:44:15
			another opportunity to make a real
difference in the life of someone.
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:20
			Thank Allah subhanaw taala for
this opportunity
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:27
			for having chosen you for this
noble profession. May Allah
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:30
			subhanaw taala put Baraka in all
your efforts.
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:32
			And
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:37
			may Allah Subhana Allah bless you
all, and bless your children and
		
00:44:37 --> 00:44:41
			your school and make it
successful. So with that,
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:44
			I'd like to open this up for
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:51
			you to share some of your
experiences that you want to and
		
00:44:51 --> 00:44:54
			also after that, if you have some
questions,
		
00:44:56 --> 00:44:58
			Inshallah, we can try and address
them
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:20
			other than saying
		
00:45:25 --> 00:45:33
			we're starting to shift it's just
a reminder for us, for me that the
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:36
			need to end the lesson, we need to
make sure that they always
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:37
			connected the dots
		
00:45:48 --> 00:45:52
			think I got most of it but if you
speak up a little louder, because
		
00:45:52 --> 00:45:57
			you have far from the mic, or
someone closer can can relay that
		
00:45:58 --> 00:46:00
			inshallah that would be useful
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:07
			lesson plans
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:09
			whatever you're teaching
		
00:46:11 --> 00:46:14
			or whatever, we should connect
with a loss it's a good reminder
		
00:46:14 --> 00:46:15
			that
		
00:46:19 --> 00:46:19
			we're actually
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:25
			gonna bless it may Allah bless you
		
00:46:37 --> 00:46:37
			ready
		
00:46:43 --> 00:46:43
			to
		
00:46:48 --> 00:46:48
			learn
		
00:46:55 --> 00:46:57
			me start to get your mind, if I
forget
		
00:47:02 --> 00:47:03
			the soul and all that
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:08
			there is always Baraka
		
00:47:10 --> 00:47:14
			teach them the importance of Da
make sure that they understand the
		
00:47:14 --> 00:47:19
			meanings of what they are saying.
Make sure that's very, very
		
00:47:19 --> 00:47:24
			important. So that at any position
time in their life, no matter what
		
00:47:24 --> 00:47:29
			happens, they know that they can
always turn to God to Allah
		
00:47:29 --> 00:47:31
			subhanaw taala. Allah will answer.
		
00:47:36 --> 00:47:37
			I teach
		
00:47:39 --> 00:47:45
			the concept of law it's very hard
for, for departure. So I
		
00:47:45 --> 00:47:49
			understand we do it every day
openly. But when I asked them
		
00:47:49 --> 00:47:53
			today, let's do it. I want you to
make your own personal drive
		
00:47:53 --> 00:47:58
			privately. They seem to know
		
00:47:59 --> 00:48:01
			what you're making it about
connecting with a lot.
		
00:48:02 --> 00:48:03
			They're all aware.
		
00:48:04 --> 00:48:06
			They have the fear and the love
for him. But
		
00:48:08 --> 00:48:13
			for some reason, just a portion of
it, not connecting for them.
		
00:48:15 --> 00:48:22
			Again, this goes back to the
capacity and maturity of the mind.
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:30
			Kindergarteners may be too young
to understand that. And that's why
		
00:48:30 --> 00:48:35
			at that stage, all we want them to
know is to know Allah to not have
		
00:48:35 --> 00:48:40
			His blessings, that everything we
remind it is this is a blessing of
		
00:48:40 --> 00:48:44
			Allah. Look how generous Allah is,
look what Allah gave us. So they
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:49
			at that stage, they just need to
recognize that Allah is the One
		
00:48:49 --> 00:48:54
			who gives everything. Now, if that
becomes impacted in their hearts,
		
00:48:54 --> 00:48:59
			when they grow up in a year or
two, they know who to turn to.
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:04
			Because he's the one who gives
everything. He's the protector, he
		
00:49:04 --> 00:49:08
			is the provider, and just
reminding those kindergarteners of
		
00:49:08 --> 00:49:11
			every blessings, that when they're
eating food, look what Allah gave
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:16
			us today to each look where it
came from, you know, everything,
		
00:49:16 --> 00:49:20
			you know, that happens, remind
them of Allah. And that's all they
		
00:49:20 --> 00:49:24
			don't need to have a formal GPA.
They don't have to memorize a
		
00:49:24 --> 00:49:27
			banana for dunya at this time,
because they're not yet ready.
		
00:49:28 --> 00:49:34
			So look at their capacity, and
just give them sufficient
		
00:49:35 --> 00:49:38
			because sometimes a child that if
you force them to memorize
		
00:49:38 --> 00:49:41
			something, it becomes it has a
negative impact and they don't
		
00:49:41 --> 00:49:45
			know what they're saying. So first
to know Allah
		
00:49:47 --> 00:49:51
			and then gradually in their own
words, you can ask them, so now
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:54
			suppose something like this
happened. Who are you going to
		
00:49:54 --> 00:49:54
			ask?
		
00:49:55 --> 00:49:59
			They have to change from ask you.
I'm going to ask my mom to I'm
		
00:49:59 --> 00:49:59
			going
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:00
			Ask Allah
		
00:50:03 --> 00:50:07
			and if you bring that concept
gradually into them of asking
		
00:50:07 --> 00:50:09
			Allah that becomes da
		
00:50:11 --> 00:50:16
			and ask Allah subhanaw taala
yourself in the year Allah inspire
		
00:50:16 --> 00:50:22
			me to teach them to connect to you
and so that when the time comes
		
00:50:22 --> 00:50:26
			they turn to you and God and Allah
subhanaw taala will open those
		
00:50:27 --> 00:50:29
			doors for you these are not things
that are taught
		
00:50:30 --> 00:50:31
			they come by inspiration
		
00:50:35 --> 00:50:36
			inshallah.
		
00:50:53 --> 00:50:56
			That was that's a good reminder
for us what how
		
00:51:00 --> 00:51:02
			and why I will actually why
		
00:51:03 --> 00:51:06
			this is a great reminder for all
of us in this poll
		
00:51:08 --> 00:51:12
			for us to go back and be teaching
to remember why they care
		
00:51:15 --> 00:51:19
			on purpose and how do we want to
teach a
		
00:51:23 --> 00:51:23
			reminder.
		
00:51:27 --> 00:51:33
			Inshallah, with that, we hope that
Allah subhanaw taala accepts this
		
00:51:33 --> 00:51:38
			gathering. And whatever good was
said what is useful is said is
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:42
			from Allah subhanaw taala is
grace. And if something
		
00:51:42 --> 00:51:45
			inappropriate was said, that
wasn't said in the proper way,
		
00:51:45 --> 00:51:49
			that is from the impact of shaitan
and then the weakness of my
		
00:51:49 --> 00:51:53
			nerves, and I seek Allah's
forgiveness for that. And I seek
		
00:51:53 --> 00:51:59
			Allah's protection from reminding
you of all of these and not being
		
00:51:59 --> 00:52:04
			hateful of it myself. I have
recorded this because I wanted to
		
00:52:04 --> 00:52:09
			send this to see the emir, because
I didn't know what you wanted from
		
00:52:09 --> 00:52:12
			me, this was given to me on short
notice. So if there is any
		
00:52:12 --> 00:52:18
			critique that he has, he will
Inshallah, forward to you for this
		
00:52:18 --> 00:52:21
			session. And I thank you for your
time.
		
00:52:22 --> 00:52:26
			May Allah Subhana Allah, Allah
behind the ignition, Eli
		
00:52:26 --> 00:52:27
			Lannister,
		
00:52:28 --> 00:52:29
			Governor to
		
00:52:32 --> 00:52:35
			reward you tremendously. Also, if
you could forward it to us or ask
		
00:52:35 --> 00:52:35
			them
		
00:52:37 --> 00:52:40
			in show does so now
