100 In the house

so that is actually part of the faculty at the teachers from

00:01:15 --> 00:01:19

Medina. So Sharma as you guys know we used to have

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22

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
