Verbal Diarrhea...

We know how kids just love stories... And we know how much they will be affected by the stories they read, heard or watched...
Subconsciously, it plays an important role in shaping the children's way of thinking and perception towards the things around them... It might just be a fairy tale to us but to them.. That's the real world... I have no problems with animals or trains talking really, but I find it difficult to accept the existence of fairies in these stories..

Anyhow, the purpose of this post is basically to encourage Muslim parents out there to train their kids to talk about deen...
Nowadays many people can talk about many things ie the latest news or iPhone or the latest car, sports, politics, economic etc.. We can talk about everything..except.. About Allah...about deen..
Whatever comes out of your mouth ( what you say) will go to your ears first before everyone else's .
And if you notice, the more we talk about the goodness of a thing for example, the more the love towards that thing will settle in our heart...
So that is why our elders advice us to talk about the virtues of amaal again and again so that inshaallah love towards that Amal will increase..
Talk about the greatness of Allah again and again, so that the greatness of Allah will enter into our hearts inshaallah.
 On the other hand, we thought that we should not be talking About deen or Allah to other people because we re not scholars. See how shaitaan works! True, we have no authority to give our own Tafseer of the Quran or come up with our own fatwa, talking about these things would be wrong and dangerous for us and others as well but this doesn't mean that we can't talk about deen at all ..

So yea, I remembered the first time my husband asked me to talk about the greatness of Allah,  I had what the medical students termed as verbal constipation.. I didn't know what to say..
In fact, at that time it never occurred to me that that could be a topic of discussion... Especially with family members..
Moral of the story is, let's train our kids from young to talk about the greatness of Allah and to love talking about it...
Tell them stories of those whom Allah was pleased with
Those who had gained the pleasure of Allah... Tell them and train them to tell others too..
Let them hear, digest and let them speak..
May Allah make our kids daie, inshaallah..
May Allah grant them verbal diarrhea, when it comes to talking about deen!
