Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem
How old are you now? How many years have you studied at school? Now deduct those years with the years you have studied Allah’words?
Is it more or is it less..?
Do you really need that masters degree sis? Do you really need to get that phd? You’re most proably going to get married, get pregnant, have kids and not really use that degree.
My sisters in Islaam, your full time career and ever lasting reward is steering your children to the path of Allah? How on earth are you going to do this with a masters degree in something like international relations or biomedical science?
Do you really think your children are going to be grateful when they are 25 wishing that their parents taught them surat al fatiha at the age 5 rather than they learning it at the age of 25? Allahu akbar! Is this what the ummah has come to? Do we prefer our children knowing the Krebs Cycle than knowing that we shall all return to Allah and we will be judged according to our deeds?
Do you not know that children are like branches? They are bendy and can be directed into a certain direction. However, as they get older and thicker and bigger it is almost impossible to bend it and direct it to the way you want it. Come on wake up, You can either be a mother that produces good children with good manners that has a love for Allah, his prophet SAW and a love for the deen of Al Islam, or you can become a mother that will have ungrateful children, that will not respect you because they do not fear Allah. Do you not know that they might stand before Allah blaming their parents for not teaching them sufficient knowledge of Islam.
Sisters, mothers play a MASSIVE role in building a generation, the better she is at raising her children the better the ummah is. What difference does it make if you stay at home taking care of your children? We are going to die anyways. This world is a prison for a believer and a paradise for a disbeliever. Can you not sacrifice your small silly desires to guide your lovely offspring to a good future InshAllah.
We have come to a era where women want to take the role of the men and be the primary breadwinner. Unless you actually have to sis, why do you put that burden onto yourself? Are you not aware that the husbands duty and obligation is to provide for the wife and children? The way I see it is a woman has a full time job at home with the kids, why on earth would she want to exhaust herself with an extra full time job outside. No wonder many women get anti ageing cream at the age of 30,when they look like 60 because they are constantly working double shift non stop! A’outhobillah!
So I am asuming that whilst you and your husband work from 9-5pm, some stranger is looking after your kids. Can you guarantee that your child is safe? Can you guarantee that the things that the childminder is teaching your child is what you want your children to learn?
Think about it, we only get one chance in this world and would you want to have offspring that constantly help you when you reach old age and then when you pass awaythey make dua for you? or do you want children that constantly disrespect you, dump you at a nursing home when you reach old age and then do not care about your afterlife?
May Allah make us of the people of Jannah and grant us righteous children that is pleasing to us but most importantly pleasing to our creator Allah! Ameen
(anything wrong I have said in this blog is from me and shaytaan anything good is from Allah our Creator)

What Does “Islam” Mean?
The word “Islam” itself means “Submission to Allah.” The religion of Islam is not named after a person as in the case of “Christianity” which was named after Jesus Christ, “Buddhism” after Gutama Buddha , “Marxism” after Karl Marx, and “Confucianism” after Confucius.
Similarly, Islam is not named after a tribe like “Judaism” after the tribe of Judah and “Hinduism” after the Hindus. The Arabic word “Islam” means the submission or surrender of one’s will to the will of the only true god worthy of worship, “Allah” (known as God “the Father” in Christianity).
Anyone who does indeed submit to the will of Allah as required by Islam is termed a “Muslim,” which means one who has submitted to the will of Allah. Many people in the West have developed the sad misinformed trend of calling Islam “Muhammadenism” and it’s followers “Muhammadins.” This is a totally foreign word to Muslims and unrecognized by them. No Muslim has ever called his religion “Muhammadenism” or called himself a “Muhammadin.”
What Is The Basic Concept of Islam?
Islam teaches us that this life is a life of worship. We are placed on this earth in order to worship Allah and obey His command. During this earthly life we are subjected to a series of trials. We have the option of enduring these trials and conforming to certain laws, and our reward will be great in the next life, or we may decline to endure these trials and choose to not conform to the law, then we will be made to regret it in the next life.
Each person will be solely and completely responsible for their own final reward. We are also told that God has designed these laws to make this life a better, safer, and more tolerable one for us. If we elect to conform to them then we will see the result in this life even before moving on to the next.
We are told that the earthly life is a life of faith and work, and the next life is one of reward and no work. We have been placed on this earth to worship God, fast, pray, be industrious, good, kind, respectful, and a source of uprightness and morality. We are told that God has no need of our worship. Our worship can not increase the kingdom of God nor add to His power, however, it is in our best interests both in this life and the next that we do.
Unlike some other religions which claim that God entered in a covenant with a certain group of people and that this group is genetically better than all other human beings, or closer to God, Islam on the other hand teaches that no color, race, tribe, or lineage is better than any other. Islam teaches that all humans are equal in the sight of Allah and that the only thing that can distinguish them in His sight is their piety and worship.
“O humankind! Verily! We have created you from a male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that you may know one another. Verily! the noblest among you in the sight of Allah is the most God-fearing. Verily! Allah is The Knower, The Aware.” The noble Qur’an, Al-Hujrat(49):13.
