Ramadan oh Ramadan: Balancing dunya and akhirah


While he was fixing this laptop, the phone was ringing.

Me: "Hallo"
Man: "Assalamualaikum, can I talk to your son?"
Me: "Wa alaikum salam, okay."
Then I gave the phone to my boy. ...

When the phone was hang up, the girl asked.
Girl: "Who is he? Another customer?"
Boy: "Yes, a Moroccan Man wants me to fix his desktop."
Me: "Wow, Alhamdulillah, you did very good job, honey. Now people come and need your help to fix their computer. I want you to have fun whatever you are doing."
Boy: "ya, ibu. After this laptop is fixed, I am going to memorize my Qur'an."


May Allah always guide our children being successful in this dunya and akhirah. Aameen.

Have a blessed Ramadan, everyone....

Allah created death and life that Allah might try you according to which of you is best in works. And Allah is the All-mighty, the All-forgiving.

Free Future Online Education


Online classes have been around for years, with technology evolving to include multimedia features and interaction among students and faculty.
Alhamdulillah, there are so many free online courses available now for kids to learn from big universities.

In the future, the standard class will be a hybrid of in-person and online elements. There will be more digital university for students of the global one-world classroom. Imagine that in 50 years from now, there will more and more free online courses from universities. All you need is access to a computer and a reasonable Internet connection. You don’t even have to pay or you only have to pay at lower cost, such as Udacity recently announced plans to have students pay $80 to take exams at testing centers operated around the world by Pearson, a global education company.

“Online education is absolutely not a replacement for the high-quality education that a top university can give,” Andrew Ng (the co-founder of Coursera) says. He also said that the real value of a education isn’t just the content. The Content is increasingly available for free on the Web. The real value is the interactions with professors and other, equally bright students. 

We knew that more kids love to play game online. Well, I think we should ask the kids to learn more than play online. 

Here are some of the Free Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC).
Each company offers online materials broken into manageable chunks, with short video segments, interactive quizzes and other activities — as well as online forums where students answer one another’s questions. There are so many other free online courses out there available for you to learn.

Ramadan oh Ramadan: Teaching Children to Pray.


Question:
I really need help with my son, when I tell him it is time to pray. he gets angry and leaves the room. He is 11 I though he would get up and pray by himself. Please give me advices.

Answer:
Ramadan Karim, sister.

Have you try to pray in jamaah at home with the whole family (father, mother, and kids)? After praying jamaah, you can always have small halaqah. It's important to remind each other about why, when, and how to pray, the beautiful of our deen, the purpose of life, etc.
You can also try to read together about hadiths or story of al Qur'an, etc. Kids need to learn and understand more about Iman, Islam, and Ihsan. In this Ramadan, you should also try to pray in masjid together (For 11 years kid, he should not play around in masjid anymore).
If you teach them about the deen then it will be more easy teaching them about other things, insha Allah.

We should always teach our kids to love Allah, trust in Him, and to ask from Him all their needs. This positive attitude will help the kid build a lasting relationship with Allah.

O you who believe! Save yourselves and your families from a fire whose fuel is man and stones. (Al-Qur'an 66: 6)

From a young age, a kid should be encouraged to pray, recite the Qur’an, perform wudhu etc. Parents should not wait until they are almost baligh. It is much better to start at an age when kids are willing to imitate the parents and have an interest in praying and doing wudhu.

May Allah always give us more sabr and guide our children to practice our beautiful religion, aameen.
