You have invested so much in the education of your children, for their success in the dunya.
But if Allah (SubhanaHu wa Ta'ala) asks you "What did you teach your children about me?"
What would your answer be?
Can you boldly say that the level of your childrens' education about ALLAH is the same or above the level of their knowledge of concepts of maths & science?
Which is more important to you? Which do you invest more into? Which knowledge will help them more in this life & next?
-Teach your kids how to be self motivated, to do their salah, to worship Allah (SWT)
-Teach them how to be confident muslims and proud of their deen which leads them to their Rabb
- Build a strong foundation for the character of your child & place love of the Deen in them.
This will help them more than anything, in this world and most especially in the hereafter. Do not allow your children grow in this world without this vital knowledge. They ll never forgive you on the day of judgement.
An important trick that Shaytan tries to get you to fall into is to lose hope in the Mercy of Allah.
If Shayṭān can get you to lose hope, then he has won.
Iblīs has no hope.
He has no hope in the Mercy of Allāh or of being forgiven.
He loves to cause this type of feeling in the children of Adam as well. But remember that Allāh forgives all sins as long as you don’t die upon it. A person may try to take a few steps to Allāh, & Shayṭān will say:
“You are not worthy. How dare you! Didn’t you commit this sin?”
Shayṭān wants that you give up hope in the Mercy of Allāh.
Don’t ever say you have hit rock bottom. As long as Allāh Has given you breath to breathe & a conscious mind, then you haven’t, it is a statement of Shayṭān to say you have hit rock bottom.
It is inexorable to appreciate those selfless men & women that have given their best to see us where we are today. TEACHERS. They are our ladders to the height of success we are all proud of today. I m lucky to have the following Teachers in my life.
My first Teacher was my mother, from whom I learnt & memorised the complete Juz'u Amma.
She handed me over to Malam Zakariyya Mai-Hatsi, who also happened to have taught my father & mother at different times. He lived a very long life & impacted positively in our lives.
I have had several other Teachers afterwards, from whom I learnt the Deen, including Shaykh Yahya Assalafiy & Shaykh Dr Pantami (may Allah preserve them all and reward them with the best of the two worlds). Malam Safiyanu, Malam Nasir Yusuf & Malama Binta Umar Musa.
HERE ARE 7 THINGS YOU SHOULD DO IF YOU HAVE A NIGHTMARE.
The accursed Shaytan does not refrain from ANY harm that he can cause the children of Adam, even when we are asleep!
The Prophet ﷺ said, “The the evil dream which causes pain is from the satan” (Muslim 2263).
What should you do when you have a bad dream?
1. Know that this dream is from the Shayṭān, so don’t dwell over it. Shayṭān wants you to be concerned and think about it. The way to fight Shayṭān is to put it aside and not think about it. Move on with your life. Fast.
2. Seek refuge in Allāh from the accursed Shayṭān.
The sunnah is to say: a’udhibillahi min al-Shayṭān’l-rajim. Ask Allah to save you from the evil you saw. Immediately you do this, your heart should feel calm. Don't think about it again.

Team work implies individual commitment to a group effort to achieve a goal.
Let us look at this verse:
"Verily, Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in rows (ranks) as if they were a solid structure." Suratul Saff, verse 4.
The similitude of a building ( solid structure) in this verse is a perfect example of team work & sacrifice, two things required for any meaningful development of a people. The same way a single block doesn't make a building, so can't an individual live as an island.
Look at how the spirit of sacrifice & team work is displayed in building a single wall. Assume ourselves as individual blocks. For that wall to be successfully erected, there must be a foundation buried into the ground, some meters deep. Then some would begin to be laid at the
