<span style="background: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">As Muslims, we have an
engrained understanding that children should obey their parents. Allah tells us
in Quran about being kind to our parents. The Prophet Muhammad (saw) has instructed us to be especially kind
to our mother. A child who is not respectful to his parents is certainly
behaving in a way that is contrary to our religion. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">But not only should
children be obedient and kind to their parents, . . parents should also be kind
to their children. The Prophet (saw) has said: </span><i>"He is not of us
who does not have mercy on young children, nor honor the elderly."</i>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">When interacting with our
children and even when correcting them, we should remember to be gentle and
kind with them. People are more inclined to pleasing those they have a positive
relationship with. Speaking in a calm, respectful tone to your child does not
convey a sign of weakness. To the contrary, it let’s them know that you are
indeed in control—not only of the situation but also your emotions. <span style="font-size: 9pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<b>Parenting Isn't Over When They Enter College</b><b>By: Grandma Jeddah</b></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
You sent your son to an Islamic School. Maybe you home schooled him. You wanted to make sure he received a strong Islamic foundation. Now he's 18, and you're thinking about sending him to college. You might also be thinking-- <i>Finally! Now I don't have to worry anymore about lessons and homework. He's on his own now.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Not so fast. We all want our children to excel and have an impressive education and career, but there are many things in college to be cautious and wary of when your child begins. <br />
<br />
One particular aspect of college that you should be aware of is that some required areas of study teach atheism in a round-about way. When your child takes classes such as anthropology, philosophy, and humanities, be sure to read your child's books along with him or at least scan the table of contents, chapters, and headings. Also, review your child's test questions. This is an area in which instructors often push their own perspective, which may be anti-religious.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">According
to hadith, Anas Ibn Malik said<i>, <b>“</b>I served the Prophet (saw) for <u>ten</u>
years, and he <u>never</u> hit me, insulted me or frowned in my face."<b> </b>(Muslim)
</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> This hadith is truly amazing. It’s
amazing because children are children. Nature doesn’t change. Youngsters can be
disruptive, forgetful, irresponsible and annoying at times. This hadith clearly
tells us how patient the Prophet (saw) was with the young children around him.
Not only did the Prophet (saw) avoid hitting according to this hadith, he also
avoided using hurtful words.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoSubtitle">
Avoid name calling</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">According
to hadith, the Prophet (saw) said “<i>A Muslim is the one from whose hands and
tongue other Muslims are safe</i>.” (Tirmidhi) When disciplining your child,
know that name calling and speaking abusively should be avoided. Allah says in Quran 49:11: <i>O
ye who believe! Let not some men among you laugh at others: It may be that the
(latter) are better than the (former): Nor let some women laugh at others: It
may be that the (latter are better than the (former): Nor defame nor be
sarcastic to each other, nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames:
Ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness, (to be used of one) after he has
believed: And those who do not desist are (indeed) doing wrong. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> Some parents make little of calling
their children names such as stupid, dumb or crazy. They don’t consider it a
serious offence or find it a need for concern. However, this ayat from Quran, lets
us know in clear terms that calling our children hurtful words that humiliate them
is wrong and should be avoided. So not only should we shun hitting, we should
also ensure that we speak to our children respectfully. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Peace <img alt=":)" class="smiley" src="https://free-minds.org/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif" style="vertical-align: bottom;" title="Smiley" />,<br />
<br />
Recently I received some kind of leaflet on the street from someone who gave it out for free. Apparently it contains arguments that promotes Creation and Intelligent Design. It also calls for its teaching in schools which makes me realize that this is another effort of evangelists.<br />
<br />
Anyway here are the arguments:<br />
<br />
1) Natural Selection is not evidence of evolution.<br />
<br />
2) Bacteria can only make bacteria and people can only make people. Changes can occur but within limits. If bacteria gets mutated it is still bacteria.<br />
<br />
3) Variations of traits happen all the time within a species, but it is not an evidence of one kind of animal evolves into another kind of animal.<br />
<br />
4) Saying changes take millions of years as evidence is blind faith because scientific answers are based on facts and observation, not faith in time.<br />
<br />
5) Believing the Universe originated from nothing violates the 1st Law of Thermo which states that "All matter and energy is neither created nor destroyed."<br />
<br />
6) Only 23% of the fossils of Lucy, the supposedly ape-like ancestor of human being, was dug out. Moreover, Lucy's fossils are similiar to Pygmy Chimpanzee who can walk upright and are still alive today.<br />
<br />
7) Cell Theory and Law of Biogenesis state "Life only comes from life." Therefore the belief that life comes from non-life is against science itself.<br />
<br />
8 ) Even Dinosaurs did not evolve because there are no transitional fossils of them ever found. They all appear in the fossil record as 100% dinosaur.<br />
<br />
9) The Great Flood (Noah's Flood?) which once drowned the earth under water was the cause of the extinction of dinosaurs. The evidence is that their fossils are found buried in sedimentary rock (Rock deposited by water) on every continent in the world. Plus, fossils of sea life are also found on the top of the highest mountains such as Mt. Everest.<br />
<br />
So what is everybody's take on the arguments above? Im ignorant myself regarding science, however Im very interested in the Great Flood Theory.</div>

<h2>
20. Mother has problem yelling at
kids</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Truth be told, I need real help. I am a
mother of 2. My son is 6 and always talking back. He makes me mad and I yell
when he doesn’t listen. Then I tap his back to make him. He is such a good boy
when he is told nicely. Yes, I know it’s me . . . but I feel so much stress on
my shoulders—housework, the kids screaming.
I’m always told to use the behavior chart—I did that. It never works. My
3-year-old follows whatever my older son tells her to do. And I can’t get my
6-year-old to do his homework. Please tell me where I am going wrong and I will
do anything to fix it. Which book would you advise me to buy? I want anything
that works.</span></i></b><i><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">First, I’d like to say that you are probably
doing a better job than you realize. Parenting can truly be challenging at
times. None of us is perfect. I sense that you are making much effort in trying
to be the best mother you can.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">You
mentioned that your son responds well when he is spoken to nicely. This
suggests that at times you make an effort to manage his behavior in a calmer
manner. This is something you can build upon, insha’Allah. Whenever you respond
to your son in this manner, think about what the circumstances were that led
you to act in this way. Try to create more situations like that so that you can
get in the habit of responding to your son in this manner. You can even develop
an incentive chart for yourself and reward yourself when you get 10 stars for
managing your son’s behavior in a positive way. Then buy yourself something
special, watch an interesting documentary, purchase a good book to read, or go
somewhere special. Mothers need incentives sometimes, too. (smile) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Likewise, when you notice yourself responding
to your son in ways that you dislike, once the situation has passed, think
about how and why the situation led you to respond in such a way. Notice what
triggers led you to want to respond this way. Let these triggers (child is whining,
you didn’t get enough rest the night before, you drank too much caffeine
lately, etc.) be your warning signals. Be extra conscious of your behavior at
these times. Make a lot of dua asking Allah to help you to maintain your
composure; seek refuge in Allah from Shaitan; take a few deep breaths before
reacting; retreat to your room. Think of other ways you can calm yourself down
before responding to your son. Patience is something that we learn over time
and through practice, Insha’Allah. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">You mentioned that the star chart system
doesn’t work with your son. I would suggest using the behavior chart once
again. Often times caregivers aren’t consistent with the system. This can lead
to its lack of success. Also, sometimes caregivers neglect other aspects of
parenting that must be in place prior to or along with using behavior charts.
Some of these prerequisites are ensuring you are giving your child sufficient affection
and attention. In addition, make sure you are setting a proper example for your
child to model after. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">When children see parents reacting with
impatience to frustrating situations the children sometimes imitate this manner
of coping.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Another important factor is to make sure you affirm
your son’s good behavior more often. When we’re angry, we tend to focus more on
our child’s improper behavior and disregard their proper conduct. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">There could certainly be other factors that
can contribute to a star chart system not working as well. These might include
a child having severe behavioral problems, but your letter doesn’t seem to
suggest this, and Allahu Alim.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">You mentioned that house work and day-to-day
responsibilities were overwhelming at times. No doubt about it . . . our daily responsibilities can become
burdensome. If your spouse isn’t opposed, perhaps you can allow yourself a
break every now and then. What I mean by this is you could minimize the
importance of a tidy house, long-cooked meals or whatever else that seems to
take up a lot of your time and make you frustrated. Maybe you could use paper
plates and cups once a week so you don’t have to wash dishes. You could decide that
the house doesn’t have to be properly maintained at all times. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Also, make sure you are taking the time to
relax. If you enjoy reading books, writing, crocheting or whatever, be sure to
take time to enjoy these things periodically. They help calm your mind and
replenish your energy. And, of course,
try listening to or reading Quran regularly. It’s a reminder of what we are
here for and an encouragement for us to persevere. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

"The cold, hard truth about feminism is that while it may have been sold as a great thing for women, it has failed them. It has failed them spectacularly. And it has failed our children too.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="background-color: white; color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: large;"> The Story of Prophet Lut: A Remebrance and a Guidance</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="background-color: white; color: #666666;">(Retrieved and excerped from: IslamiCity)</i></div>
<i style="background-color: white; color: #666666;"><br /></i>
<i style="background-color: white; color: #666666;">And (remember) Lut: behold, he said to his people: “Ye do commit lewdness, such as no people in Creation (ever) committed before you. Do ye indeed approach men, and cut off the highway?- and practise wickedness (even) in your councils?” But his people gave no answer but this: they said: “Bring us the Wrath of Allah if thou tellest the truth.” </i><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;">(Surat al-Ankaboot: 28-29)</span><br />
<i style="background-color: white; color: #666666;"><br /></i>
<i style="background-color: white; color: #666666;">The people of Lut rejected (his) warning. We sent against them a violent Tornado with showers of stones, (which destroyed them), except Lut's household: them We delivered by early Dawn,- As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks. And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning. </i><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;">(Surat al-Qamar:, 33-36)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;">The city where Lut resided is referred to as Sodom in the Old Testament. Being situated at the north of the Red Sea, this community is understood to have been destroyed just as it is written in the Qur’an. Archaeological studies reveal that the city is located in the area of the Dead Sea which stretches along the Israel-Jordan border. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<i style="background-color: white; color: #666666;">We also (sent) Lut: He said to his people: “Do ye commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you? For ye practise your lusts on men in preference to women : ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds.”</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;"> </span><br />
<i style="background-color: white; color: #666666;">And his people gave no answer but this: they said, “Drive them out of your city: these are indeed men who want to be clean and pure!” </i><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;">(Surat al-Araf: 80-82) </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul style="background-color: white; color: #666666;"><i>He said: “O my Lord! help Thou me against people who do mischief!” </i>(Surat al-Ankaboot: 30)<br />
<i>“O my Lord! deliver me and my family from such things as they do!” </i>(Surat ash-Shuara: 169)</ul>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;">His people detested him because of his showing them the right way, and wanted to banish both him and the other believers beside him. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;">When the perversity of the city people reached its fullest extent, Allah saved Lut by means of the angels. In the morning, his people were destroyed by the disaster of which Lut had informed them in advance. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;">Thus, Prophet Lut was saved along with the believers and his family with the exception of his wife. As described in the Old Testament, he emigrated with Ibrahim. As for the perverted people, they were destroyed and their dwellings were razed to the ground. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Do you know anyone who was adopted
or raised in a home other than his biological parents? Sure you do . . . three
of them are mentioned in the Quran—Prophet Musa (as), Prophet Yusuf (as), and
Prophet Muhammad (saw). Prophet Muhammad (saw) and Prophet Musa (as) were
orphans, while Prophet Yusuf (as) was abandoned. Evidence shows that adoptions
have taken place since early historical times. The need for others to support
and maintain children not born of their loin or womb existed thousands upon
thousands of years ago and still exists today. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
In the West, during the early
1900’s, one of the primary ways in which adoption was practiced was as a
solution for mothers who had become pregnant out of wedlock, similar to how
abortions are primarily used today.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Because societal regulations during
that period sought to protect birth parents and adopted children from the
stigma related to an unmarried mother having a child, adoption was and still
remains today, a taboo subject, often shrouded in secrecy and shame. Allah,
however, presents a different perspective regarding orphans and adoption. He
bestows upon adopted orphans honor, dignity and justice, and demands that
others do so, likewise. Allah says in Quran: <i>Those who swallow the property
of the orphans unjustly are actually devouring fire into their bellies and they
shall enter the burning fire.”(Quran 33:4-5)<o:p></o:p></i></div>

to spend more personal time with your sons. Spending quality as well as
quantity time with your children is important for their proper development. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

homeschooling your boys, you give them 1-on-1 attention, even if you don’t
realize it. When teaching your soon to be 6-year-old how to write his letters,
much of the practice involves your holding and guiding his hand, close-up
contact with him, and continuous verbal direction and reinforcement. The same
goes for when you’re helping your 3-year-old put his puzzles together. Even
though you may be teaching them at the same time and nursing the littlest one,
they are still getting personal attention from you. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

chosen homeschooling as a method of teaching your sons. It is an educational
method that allows them to have frequent contact and interaction with you.
These crucial developmental years cannot be replaced once your sons have aged
beyond them. And you are providing your kids with optimum attention from you as
they move through this growth period. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><br /></span></div>

more closely related to what you are seeking in your question. One way of
spending more 1-on-1 time with individual children is by making dates with
them. Once a week you can schedule an outing with each child. Have Dad watch
the other two while you go on a 30 to 45 minute outing with one of the boys. It
doesn’t have to be anything elaborate. How about a visit to the park to play on
the swings and slide for a few minutes? You can take a trip to the market with
one of your sons to pick up some items for dinner. Be sure to let him pick out
something special for himself and the other two siblings back at home. He’ll
feel important for doing it. A walk around the corner can add up to 1-on-1 time
together, as well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The thing to remember with whatever
outing you choose is to conversate with your child on the way to and back from
your excursions. Talk about him, you, Allah, what you see on the way, whatever
comes to your mind. Use that as a time to answer all of his back-to-back
questions, with no frustration in your tone, only concern for your time
together. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 150%;">

at home to your advantage. During bath time, use those 5 to 10 minutes to
smile, laugh, joke and play with one child at a time. Splash the water; let him
feel with his fingers the extremes between warm and cold water; let the warm
water rush down his back. Talk to him about which story he wants you to read to
him after he’s slipped on his pajamas. Use your imagination for conversation
and interaction ideas. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Let them take turns each day sitting on the counter to talk with you while you
wash. What about when you’re baking a cake? Let one stir while the other counts
to 10, then exchange their positions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

your kids take turns sitting on your lap for their story to be read. Or if only
one story is read per night, let them take turns each night sitting on your
lap. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 150%;">

large blocks of time. Short spurts of 1-on-1 attention can be productive, as
well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Default" style="line-height: 150%;">

neglecting to give your sons 1-on-1 attention. The fact that you’re
homeschooling them as well as seeking out ways to become a better parent show
you’re doing a great job at trying to fulfill your sons’ needs, and Allahu
Alim. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

The
Tragedy of Woman's Emancipation<o:p></o:p></h2>
<h3 align="center" style="text-align: center;">
By <span class="smcap"><span style="font-variant-caps: small-caps; font-variant-numeric: normal;">Emma Goldman</span></span><o:p></o:p></h3>
<div class="drop" style="margin: 9pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
<div style="margin: 9pt 0in; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Excerpt, altered article from 1906
American book<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div style="margin: 9pt 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">What has woman achieved through her emancipation? Emancipation has
brought woman economic equality with man; that is, she can choose her own
profession and trade, but as her past and present physical training have not
equipped her with the necessary strength to compete with man, she is often
compelled to exhaust all her energy, use up her vitality and strain every nerve
in order to reach the market value. Very few ever succeed, for it is a fact
that women doctors, lawyers, architects and engineers are neither met with the
same confidence, nor do they receive the same remuneration. And those that do
reach that enticing equality generally do so at the expense of their physical
and psychological well-being. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 9pt 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">How much independence is gained if the narrowness and lack of
freedom of the home is exchanged for the narrowness and lack of freedom of the workforce?
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 9pt 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">The narrowness of the existing conception of woman's independence
and emancipation is evident in her dread of love for a man who is not her
social equal; her fear that love will rob her of her freedom and independence; and
her horror that love or the joy of motherhood will only hinder her in the full
exercise of her profession.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 9pt 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">As long as woman was the “slave” of her husband, she could not be productive,
but now that she is “free” and independent she will prove how good she can be
and how her influence will have a significant effect on all institutions in
society.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 9pt 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">For over a hundred years, the old form of marriage based on the
Bible has been denounced as an institution that stands for the sovereignty of
the man over the woman, of her complete submission to his whims and commands
and the absolute dependence upon his name and support. And yet we find many
emancipated women who prefer marriage with all its deficiencies to unmarried
life; <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: red;">We Must be the Forerunners </span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">In Erasing Racism from the World</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Our reading
curriculum, <b>Muslim School books,</b> has intentionally used numerous stories
that reflect the diversity of races within our ummah as well as the notable
contributions of black and brown people within our ummah. The intention in
writing these particular stories was to subtly help our Muslim youth to
disassociate black and brown people with the undesirable associations that we are
all so often exposed to through media and literature. We wanted to introduce a
new narrative for our youth in kindergarten through 6<sup>th</sup> grade
(formative years) that skin color, hair texture, and other attributes of many black
and brown people are positive characteristics—as Allah says in Quran <b>The Fig
95:4</b>: “We have created the human being in the best form.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "symbol"; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">In our phonics books, you will find images of not
only the Kaba, masjids and hijabs, but also a <i>natural pick</i>, which is a
distinctive hair comb that is used for many people of African descent who have
tight curly textured hair. </span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> *You will find characters described as having an
afro, or copper skin.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">*You will find the story of a famous author,
Rukhsana Khan, and the racism she experienced while growing up, due to her rich
brown color and Pakistani ethnic background.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">*You will find stories about Malcolm X’s wife--Betty
Shabazz, Muhammad Ali, Ahmed Muhammad
(Clock Boy), Mahmoud Abdul Rauf (basketball player and civil rights leader),
and more.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">*You will find a story about Mustapha Akkad, the
producer of <i>The Message</i> and <i>Lion of the Dessert</i>. We highlight his
attempt at presenting a just racial society through both his movies <i>and </i>his
personal actions on the movie set.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">*You will find the contributions of Muslims in
Africa during the Islamic Golden Age with stories about the Mali Empire,
Timbuktu, and Mansa Musa.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">All of these stories were strategically written to allow our Muslim
children to grow up with a set of Islamic reading texts that celebrate the
contributions of notable Muslims with diverse backgrounds from the present and
past. Within this dynamic, the hope is that our youth will develop the true
understanding of our Prophet’s (saw) words during his last sermon:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>. . . Every Muslim is the brother of another
Muslim. All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a
non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has
no superiority over a black nor a black has any superiority
over a white – except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a
brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
