3. To follow the funeral processions.
4. To accept an invitation
5. To reply to those who sneeze."

May Allah (Sub-haanahu wata'aala) forgive our shortcomings and our dead ones. May Allah grant us Jannatul Firdaus. Ameen 🤲🏻

THE WORLD GOES TO SCHOOL DIFFERENTLY:

1. Finland: No major exams until the final year of high school. Teachers are highly educated and respected. Consistently one of the best education systems in the world.

2. Japan: Students clean their own classrooms daily. Respect and responsibility are taught before academics. Character comes first.

3. South Korea: Students study until midnight. The university entrance exam is so critical that flights are rerouted on exam day. Burnout among young people is a serious national crisis.

4. United States: Standardized testing dominates everything. School quality depends on neighborhood wealth. Rich areas get better schools. Poor areas get what is left.

5. Germany: At age 10 students are placed into different school paths. Vocational training is taken as seriously as university. Youth unemployment stays low because of it.

6. India: The system runs on memorization and high-stakes exams. 1.5 million students compete for just 17,000 IIT seats. Pressure begins long before a child is ready.

7. Singapore: Ranked number one globally for math, science, and reading in 2022. Extremely competitive. Even the government admits student pressure has gone too far.

8. France: Philosophy is a required subject and counts toward the national exam. Students are trained to think critically and argue clearly from a young age.

9. Cuba: Education is completely free at every level. Literacy rate sits above 99 percent according to UNESCO. One of the most educated populations in Latin America.

10. Netherlands: Students are assessed at age 12 and placed into paths that suit their strengths. Academic and vocational routes are treated equally. No path is seen as lesser.

11. China: The Gaokao exam determines almost everything about a student's future. Pressure starts in early childhood and is carried by the entire family, not just the student.

12. Kenya: Primary school became free in 2003. Secondary school fees still push many families to breaking point. Dropout rates in rural areas remain high.

13. Russia: Historically strong in mathematics, science, and engineering. The system valued compliance over curiosity. That tension still shapes education today.

14. Brazil: Private schools are well funded and deliver strong results. Public schools are severely underfunded. Where you are born almost entirely determines the education you receive.

15. Denmark: University is free for Danish and EU citizens. Students also receive a monthly government stipend just for attending. Education is treated as a public good, not a personal expense.

16. Canada: Each province runs its own education system independently. Quality varies across the country. Indigenous history inclusion in the curriculum is real but still inconsistent.

17. Australia: Universities are strong and globally respected. Indigenous history is now formally part of the national curriculum. The debate over equal funding between public and private schools remains unresolved.

18. Sweden: No formal grades until age 12 or 13. Early pressure is believed to kill curiosity before it grows. Research consistently supports this approach.

19. New Zealand: Māori language and culture are officially part of the national curriculum. Legally protected but depth of teaching varies greatly between schools.

20. Switzerland: Two thirds of students enter vocational apprenticeships rather than university. Both paths are equally respected. Both lead to strong careers.

21. Norway: Public university is free for everyone including international students. Teachers must hold a master's degree. Teaching is one of the most respected professions in the country.

22. Israel: Schools emphasize critical thinking and entrepreneurship from an early age. Combined with technical military training, this directly feeds one of the most active startup ecosystems in the world.

[H’s mom @aiishadahir]

8. He delegated + built systems.

42 scribes. 12 governors. 9 military commanders. (Fath al-Bari)
He didn’t do everything himself. He focused on what only he could do.
You scale by systematizing not doing it all.

[H’s mom @aiishadahir]

5. He took mid-day naps (Qailulah).

“Take a nap, for Shaytan does not nap.” (Tabarani)
• Enhances memory
• Boosts energy
• Prepares the body for night worship

Even 20 minutes of rest can reset your nervous system.

Perfect du’a for Tahajjud nights

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀, 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘁.

[Mushtaq Bilal, PhD @MushtaqBilalPhD]

Many students who learn English as a foreign language have a hard time using punctuation marks correctly.

Here's a simple guide to help you with punctuation marks:

1. Comma ,

A comma is used:

Before "and, but, or, so, yet" when they connect two independent clauses, e.g., It was raining, and I was carrying an umbrella.

Around extra information, e.g., My friend, who lives next door, invited me to party.

After introductory phrases, e.g. After the game, he went home.

2. Semi colon ;

A semicolon is used instead of a comma and a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so — remember FANBOYS)

Instead of:
I like coffee, but I don't drink it every day.

you can write:
I like coffee; I don't drink it every day.

3. Colon :

Used to introduce lists.

My paper focuses on three themes: nationalism, religion, and literature.

4. Apostrophe '

Used in contractions like Don't, Can't, etc.

Also used for possession. Pay attention to singular and plural nouns.

The boy's desk (singlular).

For pluran nouns, the apostrophe comes after "s."
The teachers' cafeteria.

5. Quotation marks (Double and single)

Double quotation marks are used for direct quotes.

He argues, "Translation in not a neutral affair."

Single quote marks are used for a quote within a quote.

He said, "The term 'world literature' is difficult to define."

6. Hyphen -

Used to create compound adjectives like well-known, well-paid, etc. when the come before a noun, e.g., a well-known scholar, a well-paid job.

7. En dash –

Used mainly for ranges

Monday–Friday
pages 36–49

8. Em dash —

Very versatile punctuation mark.

Used to add extra information or interruption.

The result is clear—we need to revise our research methodology.

Also, used in place of commas and colon.

How To Pray Tahajjud (Night Prayer)

○First start off with reciting the Dua for Tahajjud before starting the salah.

○Then Pray 2 rakats of Salah each (without iqamah) and it can be prayed till 8 rakat, how much of that you want to pray for example, 2 rakat or 4 rakat or 6 rakat or 8 rakat is upto you but more is always better.

○After Tahajjud Salah is done, it is the sunnah to end with three rakat witr and if time is short (Fajr time is near) then end with one rakat of Witr Salah.

○If you are going to pray Tahajjud then pray Witr prayer after Tahajjud Prayer, but if you have already prayed Witr after Isha Prayer then do not pray Witr Prayer again because there is only one Witr in a night.

○Make Dua and ask for forgiveness and for Jannatul Ferdous and refuge against Hellfire.

○It is best to pray Tahajjud Salah 1 to 1.5 hours (last one third of night) before Fajr starts.

○Tahajjud prayer should be start at 12 am, 1 am 2 am or 3 am

Quran: The Science in the story of the Cave

Surah Al-Kahf (Quran chapter 18) on the people of the Cave can leave you speechless.

Everyone talks about the 309 years of sleep in a cave, but have you ever looked at the biological breakdown of how Allah kept them alive? It’s not just a story; it’s a medical masterclass.

The first system Allah mentions is not their hearts. Not their breathing. Not their hunger. It’s their EARS. “So We struck over their ears in the cave for many years.” ( Quran 18:11) Why begin there? Because the ears are the brain’s primary surveillance system. You can close your eyes and still be fully awake. But your ears remain connected directly to your brain’s alert network. Your nervous system is constantly asking: Is there danger? Is there movement? Is there sound? One unexpected noise and consciousness returns instantly. Your ears are the gatekeepers of wakefulness. Even when you sleep, your ears never truly sleep. Modern science calls it the Reticular Activating System (RAS). It’s the brain’s alarm clock. If their hearing remained active, the miracle would collapse on Day 1 . A falling rock. Wind entering the cave. An animal passing nearby. Any stimulus could reactivate their consciousness. So Allah did not merely make them sleep. He removed the input channel. He sealed the gateway.

But wait, if they’re asleep for 3 centuries, why didn’t their skin rot into the floor? Allah describes something else extraordinary: “And We turned them to the right and to the left.” (Quran 18:18) When a human body remains in one position, sustained pressure cuts off blood flow. Tissue begins to die. This is how bedsores form sometimes within days. If a human body stays still for even 24 hours, the weight of the bones crushes blood vessels against the skin. No blood = No oxygen = The flesh literally dies and rots while you’re alive. Allah performed the ultimate 309-year "Physical Therapy" session to keep them whole.

Then there’s the Solar HVAC System “You would see the sun rising, inclining away from their cave… and setting, passing away from them.” (Quran 18:17) Direct sun = They’d dehydrate and bake like raisins. Total darkness = Their bones would turn to glass (no Vitamin D) and the cave would be a moldy tomb. Allah designed a Reflected Light System. The sun just missed them, providing enough indirect UV rays to kill bacteria and circulate the air, but none of the heat. A perfectly calibrated, solar-powered Bio-Dome. This is why the Quran says if you saw them, you’d be filled with TERROR. You wouldn't see "Sleeping Beauties." You’d see a supernatural, twitching, self-rotating biological anomaly with "sealed" ears and unblinking eyes. that defies every law of nature you know. You wouldn't stay . You’d run.

The Qur’an does not present miracles as chaos. It presents them with structure. With order. With precision. Allah showed us that He created the laws of physics and biology and He knows exactly how to "pause" them when His believers need a sanctuary. “We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth” Quran 41:53

Dear Parents,

I want to share one parenting secret with you. The one you won’t find in your regular blogs. And trust me, regardless of your faith, you will find this tip beneficial.

I want to explain why some kids become completely stubborn the more you punish them. I am doing this because I got some messages yesterday from people who have kids in the diaspora and how their kids have become stone-hearted to their parents’ warnings. It is indeed painful.

Remember that I mentioned the monumental book of Imam Al-Ghazali, Ihya’ Ulum al-Din. We have more things to learn from it.

In this book, he talked about a fragile part of a child's mind called the “Veil of Shame.” Note: Every child has this because they are born upon Fitrah (purity of the soul).

When a child does something bad for the first time, they usually try to hide it. They are afraid of being caught because they still value their dignity in your eyes.

The scholars explained that if a parent exposes the child, screams, yells at them, and punishes every mistake, you are tearing down their veil of shame.

Once a child realizes you already see them as a bad person, the humiliation has happened. They stop caring. You have destroyed their internal brakes. When they have no dignity left to protect, they will start doing those bad things openly and boldly.

How do you notice this in your child?

You can tell this is happening in your child when they stop trying to hide their mistakes and start becoming brazen or "strong-headed" when caught. This is a sign that the veil is thinning.

To fix this, you need to use a concept called Taghaful. It translates to intentional ignorance or pretending you did not see a fault.

Our Prophet (peace be upon him) taught us this. He did this with a young companion called Usama bin Zaid. But I see that our parents, due to their high expectations, are often too impatient to look away.

If you catch your child doing a hidden wrong, sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is pretend you did not see it. Do not confront them and strip them of their respect.

Instead, bring up the topic later in a general conversation. Tell a story about why that action is destructive, without looking at them or accusing them. Let their own conscience do the punishing. Let them repent and fix it in secret.

A parent who hunts down every small mistake will end up raising a child who has no shame left to lose.

Let me know if you want more of these scholarly parenting tips. I will be willing to share. My DM is full with different issues. I cannot answer everything, but I am sure with these tips, a lot of those issues will be solved by God’s grace.

Thank you for your attention.

Allah knows best.
