Eeny Meeny Miny Reminder - Teaching the child Kalimatut-Tawheed

From the book “Taribeeyatul-Awlaad fee Dhaw’il-Kitaab was Sunnah” (Educating the Children in the Light of the Book (Qur’aan) and the Sunnah), introduced by Ash-Shaykh, Al-Aalim, Ar-Rabbaaniyy (the educator) Saalih inb Fawzaan Al-Fawzaan (May Allah preserve him upon good) and prepared by Abdus-Salaam Ibn Abdillah Sulaymaan (May Allah preserve him upon good).

Point 12: Teaching the child the Statement of At-Tawheed (Tawheed is to single out Allah alone, in all acts of worship).

So the first of what the child begins with in speech, obligatory upon al-waalidayn (the father and mother), is teaching him Kalimatut-Tawheed, and to instruct to it. Ibn Abbaas (May Allah be pleased with his father and him) narrates that An-Nabiyy (the Prophet) (Allah’s peace and blessings upon him) said: ((Establish upon your children the first statement, Laa Ilaaha Illallah and instruct them at the time of death Laa Ilaaha Illallah)).

We're......almost back!

بسم الله الرحمان الريم

Ok....so, first my sincere apologies for not posting for the last few months. But, we're back....or well... almost. Alhamdulillaah, Allaah has blessed us with the opportunity to perform hijrah for His sake and eventhough we've encountered many trials and hardships over the last few months, we feel truly blessed to reside in an Islamic country now. May He purify our intentions and accept this from us as an act solely done for His sake....Ameen!

I think the importance of making hijrah is often underestimated or one is simply not familiar with its rulings and obligations. I would like share some statements from our scholars concerning hijrah and I highly recommend to research and investigate the importance of hijrah if you haven't done so already insha'Allaah.

Hijrah and Residing in the Lands of Disbelieve - by Shaykh al-Albaanee
After listening to this clarification on hijrah from our dear Shaykh (rahimahullaah) our desire to perform hijrah grew stronger and we took serious steps towards realising it and alhamdulillaah by the Grace of Allaah we actualised it only a few months later.

So, like I said we're ALMOST back...just bear with me for a little bit more, while we get settled and organised over here. Jazaakum Allaahu khayran!
