Assalamualaykum Wa RahmatuAllah

From the Wise Sayings of Luqman

“If you’re in prayer, take care of your heart;

If you’re eating, take care of your throat;

If you’re in another man’s house, take care of your eyes;

If you are among people, take care of your tongue.

Remember two matters and forget two matters:

Remember Allah and death;

Forget any good that you have done to another and any evil that was done to you by another.”

“A Teacher affects eternity. He can never tell where his influence stops”

“Teaching is not a lost art. But the regard for it is a lost tradition”

Assalamualaykum WaRahmatuAllah;

So whilst teaching the other day I had the Ultimate “DUH” moment …

I’ve been teaching kids for 2 years minus a few weeks now … Alhumdulillah

So one of my beloved little students who’s 5 has been with me since learning the arabic alphabet from Alif Baa, now MashaAllah she’s on Juzz Amma with complete fluent recitation and a good grasp on tajweed, SubhanAllah the amount of effort this little girl puts in is amazing, when she doesn’t know her dars I can just tell, cos she comes in to class in tears.

Now you can say she cries cos she’s afraid I’ll shout, Unfortunately that isn’t the case, I’m apparently the biggest walk over teacher.
But she cries cos she feels she’s let me and her self down. SubhanAllah I love this child!

I ask her why she comes into class crying:

Child: Apa I dont know my dars
Me: Its ok, you know I won’t shout, let me help you learn it.
Child: No apa its not that, Its because I dont like it when I don’t know it.

SubhanAllah! This love for learning Quran is becoming very rare, How the child finds happiness in every page they advance in Quran.

I ask the child, what do you wish to become when you grow older? She says I want to become and Apa like you.

That bought me to tears … such innocence and love for teaching deen!

That bought on the “DUH” moment …
I thought I have taught this child from alphabet through to Quran, now each time she recites Quran, reads salah all the ajr comes back to me. And she wants to go on to teach so the line is infinite … Woooooooooooaaaaah!

SubhanAllah, We all know teaching is a sadaqah jariyyah but this time the realisation actually caught up with me in real time.

Alhumdulillah! I make dua to Allah that he bless’ each one of my students and the muslimeen with the love of deen, love for the Quran. May Allah grant them barakah in their lives so they may grow up to work for his deen.
May Allah instill in me in the correct adaab, so that I may teach them in the correct manner, and May He forgive me for my shortcomings.

Duas Requested for Me and My students.

How long will you keep pounding on an open door
Begging for someone to open it? - Rabia al-Adawiyyah

A little late I know, but Alhumdulillah life’s kept me busy.

I pray that the few who read this blog regualarly are well and even those who may have been passing by.

There is No God but Allah , and He alone is worthy of worship.

Peace and blessings be upon the greatest of creation Muhammad (saw) and His family.

May Allah make this Ramadan a fruitful one for all, May He grant us the ability to take advantage and make the most of these blessed days. May He forgive us and enter us into jannatul firdous.
May He accept from us what little we can do in His path. May He make easy the suffereing of the weak and oppressed, May he grant us compassion for those less able and fortunate than us, May He make us thankful for all the great bounties that He azza wajal has bestowed upon us.
May He through his infinite mercy accept the dua of those who call to him, May He accept all the halal adiyyah (dua) of all whom read this.

I sincerely ask for forgiveness first and foremost from those whom I have hurt in any way, If I have ever offended aybody by what I may have said or written I sincerely ask that you forgive me.

I then ask Allah to forgive me for my short comings in His huqooq and grant me the ability to better myself. May He forgive me for any short comings in conveying His deen to the people and Make me a better daaiyah. May He grant me full amal (practice) on My knowledge so that I may embody fully the sunnah of our Beloved Messenger Muhammad (saw).

Ameen Ya Rabbal Aalameen
