 we have received questions online and also here in the audience so I'll read this one from the audience inshallah as someone who wants to be a parent one day inshallah how do you gently teach your kids about Islam especially in today's world there are a lot of bad influences that can take us away from the deen anybody want to take it yeah so as far as the bad forces that can take people away from the dean something that I'm with that he was a very respected scholar uncle in the community here one of my friends asked him you know what do we do with all the horrific horrible things that we see in the world that are going on around us that cause us to be afraid causes to worry for the sake of our children what do we do about that and he said something really interesting he said in every storm that alas Panathala has created he's created an eye the eye of the storm right where everything's calm everything's safe nothing's flying around to pray that Allah keeps you in the eye of the storm so it's true there are things going on all around us that are horrific there's also a lot of beauty all around us as well inshallah and we pray to Allah every day and our children see is praying for this as well that Allah keeps us in his protection keeps us in the eye of the storm I mean as far as how to gently teach the children about the dean the children have to see a lot of joy in the practice of the dean and they have to see that Islam works they have to see that Islam gives you a dignified life and it gives you a clean life and it gives you a better option for a way of living than what others may be choosing all around them and eventually they will come to see the difference between right and wrong because what's right has been presented in such a beautiful way to them their entire lives so I had somebody once say well I don't want to say anything that sounds like well okay I had somebody once say to me that you're one of the only happy Muslims I know so you know and they were saying that's why they wanted me to speak at a public event so they were like you're a happy Muslim you're a happy woman who's a Muslim and I thought that was a very sad statement to make because why don't we look happy why I know that we're worried about the next life and we're worried about how to get through this world and safety Jalla but our Dean gives us so much beauty and so much dignity and so much grace and so much hope there's so much hope and there's so much beauty around us so instead of just focusing on all the negative that's out there also get our kids to see all the positive right so if kids see that Islam is the reason the parents treat each other with respect and Islam is the reason we smell nice and Islam is the reason our homes are clean and Islam is the reason we treat our elders with respect and Islam is the reason we pay our bills on time Islam is the reason we keep our promises they will eventually choose it for themselves inshallah we want them to choose it because they recognize that it's the you know Huck obviously but when they also see that it gives you a dignified life they will choose it for themselves inshallah and teach it with a smile
