Bullying Do’s and Don’t and My Commentary

Posted on 27 January 2012 by Tea Server

(Found on The American Psychological Association) With a little commentary of my own in the brackets, bolded. Do: 1. Respond to any bullying incident that you witness. Most bullying takes place in “unowned spaces” like hallways, playgrounds and restrooms where adult supervision is minimal (Astor, Meyer, & Behre, 1999). It is important for teachers to [...]

We And Our Parents

Posted on 23 November 2011 by Tea Server

Being dutiful to parents is one of the keys to enter Paradise.

Give your parents roses while they are alive, not dead.

Once, while conversing with Almighty Allah, Prophet Musa/Moses (Peace Be Upon Him) requested: “O’ Lord! I desire to meet the person, who is to be my companion in Paradise.”

Jibril (Gabriel) descended and informed Prophet Musa/Moses (Peace Be Upon Him) that his companion was to be a butcher who lived in a certain place. Prophet Musa/Moses (Peace Be Upon Him) set out in search of him and arrived at his shop, when he noticed a youth, resembling a night watchman, busy selling meat.
When night fell, the youth took some meat and proceeded towards his house. Prophet Musa/Moses (Peace Be Upon Him) followed him till they reached there. Prophet Musa/Moses (Peace Be Upon Him) approached the youth and said, “Would you not like to have a guest?” The youth willingly agreed and took him inside.
Prophet Musa/Moses (Peace Be Upon Him) watched the youth preparing some food. When he had finished, he brought down a large basket from the upper storey. Bringing out an old and wizened woman from inside it, he washed her and then proceeded to feed her with his own hands. When the youth was about to carry the basket back to its original place, Prophet Musa/Moses (Peace Be Upon Him) noticed the old woman’s lips move as she mumbled something incomprehensible.
The youth then brought food for Prophet Musa/Moses (Peace Be Upon Him) and both of them ate their dinner. Prophet Musa / Moses (Peace Be Upon Him) inquired, “What is your relation with this old woman?”
The youth replied, “She is my mother and since my financial state does not allow me to purchase a slave-girl for her, I myself strive to serve and look after her.”
Prophet Musa/Moses (Peace Be Upon Him) questioned further, “What did your mother mumble before you took her upstairs?”
The youth responded, “Whenever I wash her and feed her, my mother prays: May Allah forgive you and place you in the company and in the rank of Prophet Musa/Moses (Peace Be Upon Him) in Paradise.”
Hearing this, Prophet Musa/Moses (Peace Be Upon Him) said, “O’ Youth! I give you glad tidings; Allah has accepted your Muslim Mother’s Prayers and Angel Jibril (Gabriel) has informed me that you shall be my companion in Paradise!”

Sadly we are living in a time where children speaking disrespectfully to their parents and about their parents.
Islam has greatly emphasized the issue of loving and respecting the parents, the father and the mother. In our infancy and childhood, we needed the protection, love and nurturing of the parents; but when they become old, they need us to protect them and take care of them.
Parents give us unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life. Parents being having reached old age needs more service and care. We must not ignore their the rights and needs. When we were weak and in need our parents did hard work in nourishing and rearing us. They have given numerous sacrifices for our comfort and welfare. They were the main source of our safety from many difficulties.

Allah Almighty has mentioned we must sincerely ponder over the many hardships, which were taken by our parents for our comfort. In their old age it’s our obligation to take good care of them and never let them lonely. If we keep our parents happy with us then Allah shall be happy with us.

Disobedience to parents is a major sin.

In Islam it is obligatory for us to show kindness, respect, and obedience to our parents:

“And your Lord Commanded that worship not any else excepts Him and does good to parents. If either or both of them reach old age before you, utter not even a faint cry to them and chide them not and speak to them the word of respect.”
“And spread for them the arm of humility with tender heart and say, ‘O my Lord; have mercy on these both as they both brought me up in my childhood.” Surah Israel : Ayat 23-24

Abu Huraira reported Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) as saying: “Let him be humbled into dust; let him be humbled into dust. It was said: God’s Messenger, who is he? He said: He who sees either of his parents during their old age or he sees both of them, but he does not enter Paradise (because he has been undutiful to them).” (Muslim)

We must honour our parents, appreciate their sacrifices and efforts for us, and do our best for them. This is required regardless of whether they are Muslims or not.

Let’s start sharing with parents

                         Let’s start sharing with parents

Sharing, tips, sharing advice, sharing secrets, sharing ideas, sharing jokes and laughter, thus everyone shares a lot of stuff with family, friends, fellows and coworkers etc. In fact everyone uses word “share” once in a whole day. In school, offices you share lunch with your friends and coworkers, your teachers or elders share tips and advice with you, you share your secrets and jokes with your friends. Sharing is necessary in every relationship whether it’s between mother and a kid, teacher and a student or boss or an employee. Sharing strengthens the love bond.

The world is running with a horse speed as time is flying like an aeroplane, large technologies are becoming small thus fitting inside one’s palms. The world is getting digital so as young generation, everyone has personal, cell phone, laptops, now there’s no need to have a big PC to use internet as its present in everyone’s cell phone. Ironically the world is shrinking through social networking sites but distance between parents and children are increasing. Social networking sites have decreased distance between you and your friend sitting in America to whom you share your everyday happenings, your unpleasant experiences, your chit chat with your friends, your secrets in shorts all the stuff that you should share with your mother first. Sharing your whereabouts with your friends is not bad but how can your trust your friends more than your parents?

Many children scare for sharing their everyday activities with their parents because they think, parents will scold them. Therefore, they buried their unpleased experiences in depth of their hearts as a result they remain disturb. No doubt, you can share it with your friends but they will only listen to your stories. They won’t give you any solution. The key of solution is present in parent’s advice. Here, you know where the key is present, now go and unlock the locks of your hearts in front of your parents.

If you have a crush or your girl/boy friend has just left you or your friend is entangled into bad activities or they smoke or they talk nonsense and discuss unpleasant topics tell your parents. Share it with them. It will save you from bad company and your friends too from involving further into bad activities.

If you don’t share your secrets due to the fear of offensive remarks pass by your parents then all I can say is to be brave. If you have guts to do unallowed stuff then you should develop guts to face the consequences.
