Mufti Menk – Contamination of a Child’s Brain

			This is why today, there is a race. There is a race to contaminate the child's mind from a very
early age with certain things in certain countries and certain environments. In fact, all over the
world, we are taught, the first thing you should teach your child about is Allah, you should teach
your child about the worshipping Allah alone, following the Sunnah of the prophet muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the purity, the worship, the good habits, the good deeds, that's what
you should teach your child manners, you should teach your child so much more give the child a good
name. Because right at that age, the child has a brain that is receiving, and the computer is going
		

			to play out based on the apps that you download on that particular computer, or that particular
device. So if you look at the human brain, as a device, whatever apps you are going to download in
that particular device will actually affect what that device does. And this is why there is a race
across the globe, to fill that brain with apps that are sometimes useless, sometimes beneficial,
sometimes that which is going to Excel or help Excel the humankind and sometimes that which is going
to help destroy humankind. So what is totally unnatural is sometimes sold to us from a very early
ages, absolutely natural. So we grow up believing that this unnatural thing is actually natural. And
		

			we don't see any better because we've been contaminated. This is why the fitrah is called upon. And
this is why if you take a look at many years ago, we had an issue whereby people would say, Oh, this
is a scene of * on a on a movie, for example, it is no under 18. No wonder what happened to all
of that. That is a recognition that that type of * can be harmful to this brain that is
receiving applications, that type of behavior is already known to be harmful. Nowadays, people are
saying, No, no, it's okay. From a very early age from birth, it's okay. You can do this you can do
that things are changing, why? Why are they changing? are they changing for the right reasons, if
		

			they are changing for the right reasons, in a certain scope, that might be a good thing, but if
they're changing for the wrong reasons, in the scope that we've just mentioned, then obviously, that
is the jostling that I'm speaking about by the powers that may be in order to contaminate the mind
such that it becomes immoral, it becomes shameless it becomes that with no values that would nothing
to stand for, and it becomes Subhana Allah with no difference or very little difference between
humankind who has been favored according to what Allah has told us and what we understand above
other creatures and those other creatures, and animals and insects and plants and whatever else it
		

			may be. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us an understanding
