Important For Young Parents And Parents To Be WESTERN EDUCATION "OBSESSION"!!! . by itznur(m): 11:08am On Jul 19, 2016
Important for young parents and parents to be
WESTERN EDUCATION "OBSESSION"!!!


# CAUSES

1) As soon as a child becomes a year old, we
start buying toys for him or instilling the love of
pictorial objects or cartoons into him...

2) The mother begins to teach him/her baby that:
A is for Apple and B is for Ball, but doesn't teach
her
baby that A is for Allah and B is for Bismillah
continuously.

2)At the age of two or three, we take him into a
day-care centre where his Western education
journey begins.

3) At the age of 3, s/he is in nursery 1 or KG 1.
Children ordinarily don't like going to schools 'cos
they are not used to it. They prefer the company
of Mummy at home. That’s why they all cry when
going to school.

4) The child begins to observe:
# Everyday my mummy prepares me for school
# Under the sun or in the rain
# I have a unique uniform for school
# With time, the kid begins to love "schooling"
because it looks to him like the utmost reason of
existence.

-5) At the age of 5, he is in Primary one:
#Everyday, the parents wakes him up for school
but not for fajr
# He is quickly bathed on school days but not
during
weekends
# His hair is combed and his nails trimmed so
that he won't be beaten in school for dirtiness
#Everyday his assignments are checked by his
parents but no one bothers about his Islamiyyah
assignments
#His school fees are paid on time bt no one
cares about his Islamiyyah dues.
# The father takes him to school early "before"
assembly but the father doesn't take him to
Juma'ah early "before" the Khutbah.
#The child begins to reason about all these. So
he becomes more inclined to school than
Islamiyyah!

6) When exams are approaching, the parents be
like:
"Hey, no sleeping tonight, you gotta read, you
must
come first in class"
# So the child begins to burn the night candles
but no one orders him to wake up for tahajjud,
"...he should be tired. After all, he READ
overnight...!!!"
##His parents be like:
"I will buy WHATEVER you want for you if you
come out with flying colours"
But, alas!!! no one makes such promises
concerning his Islamiyyah exams.
# # During exam periods, parents be like:
Hey, no more TV until you finish your exams, no
more visiting of friends, no more football bla bla
bla.
###So the child begins to see exam periods as a
kinda mini judgement day!
.
This is how a child's impression about Western
education is "conditioned" to look so great to him
as if its the first purpose of creation!


# LONG TERM EFFECTs...

On the long run, the child begins to think wild,
read wide about life and worldly things, but
hardly thinks about the hereafter.

1) He doesn't cry when going to school anymore
'cos he is used to staying away from home.
Because of this, he wants a boarding school or he
wants admission into a uni that's far away from
home! (Especially our Muslim girls)!!

2) They don't wanna be under mum's control
anymore. They wanna become their own "boss"!

3) When a teenager gets an admission into any
institution, he goes crazy, jubilating, and
celebrating but when he is given an admission
into an Halqah (study circle), he doesn't even
wear a smile on his face!

3) They now have big dreams, career obsession,
"I wanna become a Professor by all means", but
the young lad doesn't care about becoming a
scholar of the Deen!
And the parents too be like:
'If u come out wit first class, I will send you to
"America" for your Masters'...

4) The child's obsession about western education
increases the more!
So s/he wants to earn dat first class by all
means,
even by offering herself to the lecturer or sorting
his lecturer!

4) That's why you see that when Undergraduates
finally graduate from the University after their
final
exams, they go crazy, jubilating, staining their
shirts wit markers, dancing, jumping, partying as
if they have won a ticket to Jannah, you won't
blame them, that's because western education
has been made to look like a TROPHY to them!

5) They are graduates and their spoken English is
mindblowing but they can't recite Suratul
Faatihah with Tajweed!

6) They contest and compete for SUG presidents,
class monitors, school association Presidents. But
when it comes to Sallah, they go and stay at the
last line!

7) When its time for NYSC, the Muslim girls won't
hesitate to wear bum-shots and t-shirts, they
"happily" run, jog and do exercises with men,
dance and partake in MissNYSC because they
don't give a damn what the religion says about
all these because they already believe "anything"
is worth sacrificing for education to prevail.
# # Because education has been made to look like
a
competition while religion has been made to
look like an "option"!

.
# PROBLEMS ...

1) This obsession, makes our women refuse to
get married until they have bagged degrees and
masters!

2) It makes d men lazy to prepare for marriage
until they have gotten a well paying job, a car, a
house and a professorship.

3) It makes our women quote western "proverbs"
often rather than quoting Ahaadith.

4) Our children love soccer, artistes and
celebrities but they can't mention 10 Companions
of the Prophet

5) Our children now have a whole room full of
novels, western books, encyclopedias and the
likes but the only islamic book they have at home
is
the Quran!

6) Our kids now think, being an "elite" is the
ultimate success while those "Imams" are
illiterates who are losers in this world!

7) When that student finally gets a job, he
becomes "obsessed" with it too at the detriment
of his Deen.

cool He goes to work everyday including sundays

9) He is always on business trips

10) He leaves home for work before his kids wake
up and he goes back home late when his kids
are already asleep.

11) During Subhi, he is on his way speeding to
work, during Dhuhr, he is busy wit office duty,
during Asr he is in a board meeting, during
maghrib he is just closing for d day, during Isha,
he is stuck in the traffic jam, when he gets home
he combines all his Salawaat "if" he has the
strength!
In summary, this is the kind of AQEEDAH that
our obsession for western education has instilled
in us, if not for the timely guidance that Alllah
has bestowed on us, how many are people out
there who are still wallowing in this pool of
ignorance thinking dey are d successful ones?
Am not saying we shouldn't go to school, surely
islam encourages education but not to the
extreme or at the detriment of Deen!
Suggest the possible solution yourselves as two
good heads are better than one!
May Allah forgive and guide us, amen!
Please let's forward this to each and every
muslim contact. It will really help insha Allah.

So true. This boko self. But only few muslims realise its negative effects. Especially delay of marriage. Thats why we see fornication everywhere nowadays.
