Fred Rogers met with a child psychologist every week for 22 years to build his show. She shaped everything: every script, prop, and song. The whole point was to give a child's nervous system time to slow down. In 1984, a single regulatory decision ended all of it.

The psychologist was Dr. Margaret McFarland, who co-founded the Arsenal Family and Children's Center alongside Benjamin Spock and Erik Erikson. She and Rogers understood that the prefrontal cortex in children, the part of the brain that controls impulse, emotion, and attention, takes decades to fully develop. At the start of every episode, Rogers tied his sneakers and changed his sweater while children settled in. Those pauses were intentional, designed to help a child's nervous system shift into a calmer, more focused state.

What ended it had nothing to do with child development science. In 1984, Reagan's FCC chairman Mark Fowler abolished the advertising limits that had protected children's programming from commercial pressure. Toy companies moved within months. Between 1984 and 1985, cartoons tied to toy lines increased by 300%, from a handful of shows to more than 40 animated series. In almost every case, the toy was designed first. The cartoon was built to sell it.

Researchers later put numbers to what parents were already noticing. A 2011 study in Pediatrics from the University of Virginia tested 60 four-year-olds across three groups: one watching SpongeBob, which cuts scene every 11 seconds; one watching a slow PBS show, which cuts scene every 34 seconds; and one drawing. Nine minutes later, all three took tests on attention, impulse control, short-term memory, and problem-solving. The SpongeBob group scored significantly worse across every measure.

In the 1970s, children began watching television around age 4. Research from pediatrician Dimitri Christakis found that by 2009, the average age of first screen exposure had dropped to 4 months, as the content got faster and the audience got younger. Researchers separately found that each additional hour of daily screen time at ages 1 or 3 raised the risk of attention problems at age 7 by 9%.

“Forgive me when I prostrate while my mind is distracted. Forgive me when I repent and then return to sin, for I have no other refuge than You, O Allah.”

Hantavirus, leptospirosis, fleas, other viruses and pests are spreading in Gaza because there's no longer a functioning sanitation system. Children are being bitten and falling sick and there's not enough medication and materials for treatment: this is also part of genocide.

J’étais à la Mecque pendant le ramadan,

Je n’avais pas à manger pour l’iftar, un père libyen avec son fils le remarque et me « force » à manger avec eux,on discute on discute, jusqu’au moment où je dois partir

Il me dit « on se revoit au paradis inchaAllah » avec un sourire

If Allāh dislikes a person;

​Ibn al-Jawzi says:
​If Allāh dislikes a person, He leaves him constantly stumbling and confused in every situation. He does not grant him the aspiration to seek lofty goals. Instead, he is occupied with vile matters instead of virtuous.

“If you are tested with delay in that which you desire most, then be patient, so that Allah may give you more than what you wanted.”

[Delman @dmontetheno1]

Really cool finding! This looks like a first-century AH inscription of Surah al-Ikhlas (Q. 112) found in Najran. And based on the script it’s pre-Uthmanic.

You should have things you don't do, places you don't go to, substances you don't take, words you don't say

By all means, have Principles and Standards.

[سيدة @Ajoke__xx]

In Islam, Don’t romanticize struggle. Pray for ease, pray for abundance, pray for halal wealth. Allah is Al-Razzaq for all reasons.

Goosebumps...🥺

These are the words of the early Companions.

O Allah, unite us with them in the highest levels of Paradise alongside our Prophet ﷺ. Ameen 🤲

The Qur'an repeatedly tells the stories of past nations because human beings keep making the same mistakes with better technology.

Normalize praying before embarking on journeys. Long or short. Leaving your house and returning safely is a blessing.

[المُهندس زياد @ii7_8]

آثار ومواقف شهيرة وثابتة عن أمير المؤمنين عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه، كان ينهى فيها بشدة عما يُعرف في الآثار بـ "التماوت في المشي"، وهو المشي بضعف، وارتخاء، وسحب القدمين تكلفاً من غير مَرض أو عِلّة.

رأى عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه رجلاً يمشي رويداً مطأطئاً رأسه، يجرّ قدميه بضعف مظهرًا الزهد والخنوع، فخفقه بدرّته (عصاه الصغيرة) وقال له عبارته المدونة في كتب التاريخ:
"لا تُمِتْ علينا ديننا، أماتك الله! امشِ جَلَداً" (والجَلَد هو القوة والنشاط).

هذا الفهم السليم للمشية القوية كان سائداً بين كبار الصحابة؛ فقد مرّ بالسيدة عائشة رضي الله عنها رجال يمشون ببطء شديد متثاقلي الأقدام، فسألت عنهم: "من هؤلاء؟" قيل لها: "هؤلاء هم القُرّاء (العبّاد والزهاد)"، فقالت مستنكرة هذا الأسلوب في الحركة:
"كان عمر بن الخطاب إذا مشى أسرع، وإذا قال أسمع، وإذا ضرب أوجع، وهو الناسك حقّاً".

الربط بين هذه الآثار وما يتحدث عنه علم الميكانيكا الحيوية (Biomechanics) مبهر؛ فالإسلام يكره للمسلم الهيئة التي توحي بالضعف والانكسار دون سبب بدني، والمشي بـ "جلد" ونشاط يعني تلقائياً:
انتصاب القامة وعدم انحناء الظهر والرقبة.
رفع القدمين عن الأرض ودفع الجسم من الخلف بحيوية، بدلاً من سحب القدمين وجرّهما مسبباً قوى الكبح والإجهاد.

At a point of your life,
you just have to let go and just trust Allah.

It will be at an extremely difficult position of your life and won’t be easy.

But remind yourself,
Allah will always take care of you.

I actually love the concept that the right person won’t be intimidated by your depth, standards or boundaries. they’ll meet you there.

Tarihin her noktasında Müslümanlar büyük bedeller ödemiştir ve bunun tek sebebi Müslüman olmaktır. Dün Bosna bugün Filistin, Doğu Türkistan. İsimler değişti ama hikayeler aynı. Dün unuttuk bugün tekrar ediyor. Aliya İzzetbegoviç'in de söylediği gibi; "Unutulan zulüm tekrarlanır."
