Sajid Ahmed Umar - Successful Parenting #04

Innocent Minds, In This Age Of Information

AI: Summary ©

The speaker discusses how children grow up in a age where they don't know much about Islam. They describe the process of learning and development as "will" and "willful", where children become "willful" and start maturing with their parents' actions. The pressure is created for parents to take action and save families from the " hellfire."

			In this day and age, we our children are growing up faster than we could ever imagine.

00:00:05 --> 00:00:18

			Their minds are stimulated in ways far greater than our minds could have been stimulated growing up.
They understand at six years old and seven years old things that we never thought of until we were
maybe 12 or 13.

00:00:19 --> 00:00:37

			And then they live in an age, whereby information comes to them, even if they're not looking for it.
It's true. They're not even looking for it. And the information comes, they're not searching for
anything that shakes their belief in Allah. But whilst they reading this email, or surfing this
website,

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

			a pop up comes up

00:00:41 --> 00:00:54

			with an interesting title, and interesting colors. And the child's mind is designed to explore. So
they explore, and they start reading things that you never wanted them to read, and even they didn't
want to read.

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

			But because you left gaps,

00:00:58 --> 00:01:03

			because you were about outsourcing parenting, there were holes that were becoming filled.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:49

			And the child is growing up with questions, questions that aren't answered. And then we see the
facade and the corruption that comes when those innocent minds that are filled with this corruption,
start developing independence, start developing this aura, start developing this confidence that you
know what I can. I know and I know that I know. But they don't know. But that's what happens. When
you start developing this independent say, I have my own mind. I have my own brain. It's my life.
It's my mind. I'm free to think what I can. It's a free world. I read somewhere it's a free world
doesn't matter what my parents say. So what happens now? They start maturing these doubts and then

00:01:49 --> 00:01:49

			problems

00:01:50 --> 00:02:04

			happen with regards to their faith in other things when they are the biller. May Allah subhanho wa
Taala protect us so the pressure is there one lie, the pressure is there. The pressure is there,
that we as parents, we have to be even more upon the concept of parenting.

00:02:06 --> 00:02:11

			So that we can be true to the Command of Allah when he told us to save our families from the
hellfire.
