Continuing from our last captured thought...
I've often found myself reflecting on one particular practice from the Seerah.
Before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became the Messenger of Allah, he was first nurtured as a child.
Like many of the children of Makkah, he was entrusted to be raised in the desert amongst Banū Sa'd.
The more I study this practice, the more I realise that it wasn't simply about finding a wet nurse.
It was about an environment.
An environment that nurtured health, strength, language, identity, and character before the distractions of city life could shape a child's earliest years.
That has made me wonder about our own children.
Today, we speak a great deal about protecting them from harmful influences.
But perhaps we don't speak enough about intentionally placing them in beneficial ones.
Children are shaped by their environment long before they are persuaded by arguments.
The places they spend time...
The people they observe...
The conversations they overhear...
The sights they become accustomed to...
These over time become part of who they are...
The Messenger ﷺ was not raised in isolation from the world.
He was prepared for the world.
There is a profound difference between the two.
Perhaps one of the greatest responsibilities of parenting is not merely removing harmful influences.
It is surrounding our children with environments that naturally cultivate faith, confidence, resilience, good character, and a love for what Allah loves.
Because before we ask what our children are becoming...
It may be worth asking what is shaping them.
Sometimes, silence is all you need.

Alḥamdulillāh, I'm back home in Zimbabwe.
The place where I was born, where I grew up, and where I completed my primary, secondary, and post-secondary education.
Returning here has reminded me that my childhood was largely lived outdoors in our backyard that still seems enormous as an an adult, as it did as a child, alhamdulillah.
The blue skies. The balanced weather. Football barefoot if required, cricket with improvised wickets, climbing trees, walking barefoot across the grass and riding our bikes with friends until the street lights began to change the colour of the evening.
I still remember our mothers insisting that we wear our hats because the African sun showed no mercy.
There were no mobile phones...
No live location sharing...
No constant messages asking where we were every fifteen minutes...
We would return home with scraped knees, bruised elbows, twisted handlebars, and stories that somehow made all of it worthwhile!
Looking back, I've begun to wonder whether those were not merely memories. Perhaps they were part of our tarbiyah!
When I read the Qur'an and the Sunnah, I don't find an upbringing detached from the real world.
I find an upbringing that develops resilience, responsibility, courage, companionship, and reflection.
Children who walked, relished being deployed, served observed and learned.
Perhaps one of the clearest changes of our generation is not that childhood has moved indoors. It is that the world now comes to our children before our children have had the chance to discover the world Allah created, in the forms of screens and apps.
And then we have the issue of parents who come across sometimes as servants of their children, which I will share a thought on in another post inShaAllah...
And I wonder and worry what all of this is doing to the way our chosen grow.
Your brother,
Sajid Umar
Fear and excitement often share the same track.

One frame. A little waterfall. A lot of peace.

I didn't take this picture to remember the place.
I took it to remember the feeling.
