In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
All Praise is to Allah subhana wa ta’ala (the Most High) whom we ask for help and forgiveness. We seek the protection of Allah (SWT) from the sins of ourselves and our creeds. No one can misguide whom He guides, and whom He does not guide will never find guidance.
I testify that there is no God but Allah (SWT), the one with no partner, and that Muhammad sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam (May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is His slave and messenger.
Allah (SWT) says in the Quran in chapter Al-a’araf (7:176) … So relate the story; perchance they may reflect.
Quran tells us many stories yet it is not a story book but guidance for the aalameen (human beings and Jinns). Insha Allah, I would like to talk about one of the story mentioned in the Qur’an and we‘ll go over the some of the lessons from that. It is the story of the Saba (Sheba).
To understand fully the allusions made in the Qur'an to the history of the Sabaeans, one should also keep in view the information that has been obtained through other historical sources about this nation.  Be first to comment this article |  Quote this article on your site | Views: 462

Harming Your Child Unknowingly |

We may not want to, but we do make life difficult for our school going children. We hurt their self-esteem when we say "If Rahul and Leena can get good ranks, we can't you?” We hurt their emotions when we give them laptops but not our laps to sit upon. We take away their self-control when we tell then to hit back when somebody hurts them.
What happens to these kids with weakened emotional, mental and morale mind-set? They walk the path of suicide, violent behavior, drug abuse and extreme depression.
As parents and mentors, we have to act before it's too late. Start with these few insights. Based on observation and child psychology, they empower the kid’s mental and emotional make-up.
1. Don't insult your child ever. Choose your words very carefully even when he has done something wrong. For instance, don't say "You are a bad boy because you broke the flower vase". Say "Breaking things is bad". Address the problem. Not the person. Be first to comment this article | Quote this article on your site | Views: 205 |
