Do not let go of the Trust given to us.... OUR CHILDREN !! We live in a wretched world, where every turn is corrupted and immorality is widespread. We are facing the darkest time in ages, vulgarity, nudity, deceit, fraud and lust has filled our hearts and burdened our souls. Children have lost their values, parents have lost their rights, forgotten their duties. Our kids have taken actors and actresses as their role models, we have lost our dignity our honour, wallahi, we have lost everything. We Muslims have failed and have failed very badly. Our children's hearts are filled with the love for their so called role models and want to behave,dress,talk and live like them. While love for Allah has never been able to make space in their hearts. Love for the Prophet PBUH, respect for his words, have no meaning, nothing absolutely! Why blame the children when parents themselves are indulged in such activities, I don’t understand where are we heading, WHERE??? I am saddened when I see children being disrespectful to their parents, nowadays I even hear that kids even smack their parents. Wallahi what have we gained in this dunya and what are we taking with us for the akhira. Take heed now, we as parents have a great responsibility. You are the shepherd and your children are your flock, and they have been given to you by Almighty Allah as a trust, do you not fear of what you will answer Allah SWT on the day of judgement? Today parents have to change themselves, one lady in a conversations with me said that “these movies from Hollywood and Bollywood have become a part of life and we need to accept it as a part of the changing world.” Ridiculous I feel is this kind of thinking. Her opinion was due to the lack of understanding of Islam. I do not find it culturally, morally and ethically appropriate for our younger generation as well as us older generations. We see widespread extra marital affairs, rape cases, sodomy and nudity in this generation. We have now reached a time where the father does not mind sitting and watching indecent movie with his children. They call it in their terms “Broad minded parents” Broad minded parents??? Where you are in my views acting as the most despicable and reprehensible parent. We are facing horrendous consequences already with our young generation due to these so called broad minded parents. All this is because we are being irresponsible in our approach to our children. When we ignore and do not recognise the parameters set in Islam, and disregard the commands of Allah, then will the time come to face the consequences which will one day make us realise the mistakes we have done. Our temptations for this world has overtaken morals, ethics and sacrifices the Prophet PBUH left for us. We by our actions have disgraced our deen and the most amazing part is that we are not ashamed of it! Wallahi, everything is at its peak, I wonder what else have we to do, to disgrace ourselves. We have no respect for ourselves, hence we do not feel ashamed. Those who have respect for themselves feel ashamed!! We need to return, return from this deceitful world, who loves no one. Ya Allah save us from the fire of Hell, indeed we are the people who have transgressed all limits, forgive us for our sins! O, Turner of Hearts keep us firm on Your religion. O, Turner of Hearts, turn our heart to Your obedience. Ya Allah save our children from the trials of this world, Protect our children, Protect them from the evil of this world and protect them from the torment of the Hell fire. Ameen
