Submission to Allah

Do you know what Islam literally means? The Arabic term ‘‘Islam’’ means ‘’Submission’’ and itself comes from the term ‘’Aslama’’ that means, ‘’to surrender.’’  Submission or surrendering is in reference to Allah so Islam literally means ‘’submission to Allah’’ and Muslims are the surrendering ones or ‘’the one who submits’’ so O Muslim, fulfill your title and submit your soul and desires to Allah, the One and Only. Submitting yourself f to the will of Allah and following the laws of Allah is the best safeguard for man's peace and harmony so let us think and realize if we have surrendered to the will of Allah, or not.

Early Years Of A Child

In the early years of a child we don't need to take our kids to school for Islamic teachings, a mother herself is a school to a child, children are much closer to their mother then their father, what they listen from their mother is stamped on their hearts for life, in fact the persona of the children are deeply affected by the habits and personality of their parents. Fathers do not get to talk to their children as much as mothers do.  Whatever they grasp, they grasp it from mothers in the first place, so doesn’t it means that the mother needs to be trained more and be more educated in Islamic teaching. I think mothers need to have Islamic teachings before they get marry and start a new chapter of life as Mothers. As our Deen is a complete way of life, we do not really have to have any second thought of upbringing our kids in a way that they get the correct knowledge of living a successful life. Our religion is a complete religion how can it skip the topics of upbringing children in this world. There is something that we are missing on our own; take a deep breath and think for a few minutes don’t you think that we ask our kids to do what we are not doing ourselves.

In the Quran Allah SWT says in verse 61:2, 3 ''O you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do? It is most hateful to Allah that you should say that which you do not do'', it means we have no right to tell our children that which we are not practicing ourselves.

For instance if we are asking our children to pray, we should pray first

If we are asking them to read the Quran we should read the Quran first

If we want them to learn good manners, we should practice good manners first

Precisely we should be a role model for our children, and not just expect from them to be the best practicing Muslim child in our friends and in our community.

A Muslim mother has a valued and dignified role. Her contribution is acknowledged and In addition, appreciated. The famous Hadith of the Holy Prophet SAW says: ‘’Jannat lies under the feet of the mothers.’'

A woman came to the Holy Prophet SAW and asked why going for jihad was not obligatory for women. She was afraid that women were barred from achieving the great reward for those who fought and died in the way of the Almighty. The prophet SAW explained to her that a woman was a fighter in Allah's way from the time she became pregnant up to the time she delivered, and from the time she began breastfeeding until the time she stopped. If she died during that period, her position would be that of a martyr. To raise a virtuous child is one of the greatest good deeds. It continues to bring reward even after death. May Allah accept our efforts as mothers and give us strength to raise our children as practicing Muslimahs Ameen

And to Allah belong the Most Beautiful Names

1.       If you truly understood who Allah is, you would never worship anyone else

2.       This is because knowledge of Allah's Greatness, His Vast Mercy, and all of His Beautiful Names and Attributes would instill in the worshipper a great love and fear of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala).

3.       He would realize that Allah is worthy of all worship because of the great Qualities of Majesty He possesses and that anyone who does not possess such qualities is not worthy of worship

4.       Calling upon Allah & praising Him by these names is one of the greatest deeds and best forms of dhikr.

5.       Allah says: “And to Allah belong the Most Beautiful Names, so call upon Him by them” [7:180]. And Allah has ordered us in the Qur'an to engage in frequent dhikr: “O you who believe, remember Allah with frequent remembrance” [33:41]. How can you love Allah if you do not know Him?

6.       This is what Allah calls us to do - to understand Him through His attributes and names, realize His Omnipotence and Majesty, call upon Him, and humble ourselves to Him.

7.       HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ALLAH, OUR CREATOR? In order to know Allah we need to know the Attributes of Allah!
