Even my children, although they know some of these stories, when we read it together it refreshes their memory. That's why it's so important to keep on reading the Qur'an and Islamic texts.Jameelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17035991994529461269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445460700618066884.post-40927917321460485002015-06-20T03:22:11.862-07:002015-06-20T03:22:11.862-07:00Alhamdoulilah I am happy we will be covering that ...Alhamdoulilah I am happy we will be covering that story. One of my sons favorites. My children will be homeschooled Insha Allah, but we are out and about in the world daily. I may have some control over what they learn and see, but influences are everywhere. So happy that he learns these things from me first. Insha Allah he will be prepared if confronted with the real thing. Jazak Allah Khairn for this Ramadan challenge we are truly learning a lot. The children and myself as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16196468268122024890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445460700618066884.post-30879576978837556572015-06-19T15:12:03.111-07:002015-06-19T15:12:03.111-07:00Wa alaykum salam,
Children and adults alike are f...Wa alaykum salam,<br /><br />Children and adults alike are fascinated by magic tricks. If they know from a young age that any form of it is haram then insha Allah they'll know to keep away.<br /><br />There's this 'Charlie' game going around that's being played in schools and many Muslim kids don't know that it's calling on the jinn to move the pen and they join in. The children learnt this game from the internet from other kids or watching videos. Parents need to be really aware of what's going on with their children.<br /><br />That's a great tie in with the story of the boy, king and magician. This is the story of the people of the ditch and insha Allah, we'll be reading about that on day 17.Jameelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17035991994529461269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445460700618066884.post-20629039855931611682015-06-19T06:20:31.988-07:002015-06-19T06:20:31.988-07:00Assalamu Alaikum,
I enjoyed talking about this t...Assalamu Alaikum, <br /><br />I enjoyed talking about this topic to my children. My 3 year old was not quite ready to understand it. My 5 year old was intrigued by the Angels Marut and Hanut. At first he corrected me, he said "you mean Talut and Jalut". They sounded very similar to him. I explained in the simplest way possible the story. I find this story is even hard to explain to an adult at times. In the end he understood the message; all magic no matter how subtle is from Shaytan. We should never practice it. Also by practicing it we will lose out on Allahs favors in the next life. My son had already heard about the story of the tyrannical king, the little boy ad the magician. So I related this story to that story. In the end the little boy had a choice-whether to follow the magician or the pious man who worshiped the one God. In the end he chose to obey Allah and leave the magician. Also in the end the king was the biggest loser because everyone saw that he was not powerful-only Allah was in charge of all things and the all mighty. This was the perfect opportunity to teach my son that this is a very serious topic and magic hurts people and the hearts. We also always have a choice to do good or bad. Solaimans people may have been taught magic but practicing it was a choice that they made-even after being warned. My son has seen magic before unintentionally-a cartoon where someone disappears, or someone making a card disappear. He has been intrigued, however I always made it clear that all magic is bad. This lesson just reinforced what I had already taught. Jazak Allah Khairn for this challenge. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16196468268122024890noreply@blogger.com
