Opening up the eyes of Muslims through real stories and anecdotes so they can raise righteous families.

@zaidchakir Realizing that public schools are a problem is the first step. That is the only way people can then start forming small communities of people dedicated to learning Islam and secular knowledge in an organic fashion.

@IjazTheTrini May Allah subhana wata'aalah cure your ailments my brother Ijaz. May you receive a portion of every thanks to Allah we make thanking him for the gift of health.

When you teach your kids from a young age about Islam and they see their mother and their father practicing, you will see subservience to Allah's commands to a level that even you don't practice because you were blessed by Allah to come out of darkness into light.

This only happens when they are not corrupted by liberal standards and liberal expectations from their peers, and this only happens from homeschooling and reinforcing Islam as a complete way of life.

You might have to "argue" with your kids to not worry about some of the overlooked details such as exposing a covered ankle with a sock by accident because your abaya went up a few inches.

On the flip side, if you're allowing your kids to be programmed by the system and aren't leading them to success, then you will constantly be on the back end trying to correct, but at the same time you don't want Islam to be a constant argument between parent and child, so you just give in and stop trying.

In most cases, it's a lose-lose situation because the more you fight, the more the relationship between parent and child gets tense. Everything becomes about the religion, and they start to hate the religion.

So you let go, and the Islamic standards continue to drop dramatically. I say dramatically because one of the first things to leave is the prayer, and the scholars debated whether a person who doesn't pray is even a Muslim or not!

They are put in an environment that does not mimic real life - a bunch of apeshit teenagers who are high, horny, and brain rotted all in the same confines with projectiles all around them like chairs, books, etc.

We need to make our own institutions, and if we can't make that, then your home should be a sanctuary from outside forces and evil.

I really do believe we live in these times as state in the Hadith:
---
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "A time will soon come when the best property of a Muslim will be sheep which he will take on the top of mountains and the places of rainfall (valleys) so as to flee with his religion from afflictions."

Sahih al-Bukhari

@zaidchakir Allahumma baarik!

[Muslim Dad Diary @muslimdaddiary]

Spoke with another brother yesterday, and he was born and raised in the US. I didn't know he even had children, but his daughter is 9 years old and Alhumdulilah he homeschools her through an online Islamic curriculum.

You have to go through "the system" to know it's a literal hell hole, and the best thing you can do is to educate your child on your terms.

[Muslim Dad Diary @muslimdaddiary]

If you have been blessed to survive the public school system and are a practicing Muslim, it is a blessing that Allah has chosen you to represent His religion even after the corruption that has befallen others did not hit you.

Don't take your Islam for granted, because you and I could have easily been one of those who were lead astray.

I’ll say this once again, parents have NO clue on who is sitting next to their child in public school each day. This is mostly a secondary issue. The judges would order them to attend each day. We were the default “juvie��� because they refused to lock them up. I personally had some really scary students and I was not allowed to say anything because, FERPA.

[The Principal’s Office @educator4ever36]

I think so many of our out of control kid issues are because parents take it so personally when their child says, “I hate you.” For many years, I was my daughters most hated person because I dared to have rules, a curfew, I insisted on meeting the parents when she went to someone’s home, and the absolute worst - I wouldn’t let her wear outfits I deemed inappropriate. I wore that label like a badge of honor. We are of course the closest ever and she is incredibly successful and an amazing parent to my grandson.

[Muslim Dad Diary @muslimdaddiary]

Muslim women are complaining about how they're losing their children, and they ask my wife, "How do you keep your children on the Islamic path naturally, without enforcing hijab, salat, etc."

The answer is right in front of them, but no one wants to do the work anymore.

Homeschooling your children and keeping them away from the degenerate liberal system is the best way to allow the child to naturally express their fitra through the parents' guidance.

Then as a parent, you can teach them concepts that are deviant, and why Islam does not allow those lifestyle choices and why the Islamic way is the best way, further cementing their confidence in Islam.

You can introduce the liberal challenges and trials at your will and explain them without any preconceived notions your kids might already have from seeing it for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, thinking that my parents are delusional and "everybody is doing it," rolling their eyes while their parent tries to give them a quick answer right on the spot.

If you don't start homeschooling from the beginning, be prepared for an uphill battle that you cannot conquer.

The crazy thing is most women are already homeschooling for the first 5 years as the child grows up with them, but all of a sudden they feel like they have to go through the "system" since that's what everyone else does.

Your child becomes another liberal cog in the wheel keeping the status quo alive, a cog that was supposed to be part of the Muslim Ummah.

A cog that was supposed to be part of grander, divine purpose.

The future is now. No face grip needed. You see, it’s much safer..

Just a friendly reminder if you let your women put their photos online, this is the outcome.

[WIRED @WIRED]

As nonconsensual explicit deepfakes continue to proliferate online, entire communities are now collaborating on this digital form of sexual abuse. https://t.co/LUhOv4vHpX

Phone use is equivalent to addiction.

When you don't get your fix, bad behavior will ensue.

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

Teachers are getting assaulted over cell phones.

This is not a battle teachers should have to fight alone. Administrators or security should handle these situations.

Teachers are there to teach, not constantly manage behavior crises.

[Muslim Dad Diary @muslimdaddiary]

@NoFilterSkin 1. Separate boys and girls in school so they can truly learn what they're good at without being judged or teased by the opposite gender.

2. Don't give your kids a phone.

3. Screentime for play only on weekends.

4. Eat healthy or go hungry.

[Muslim Dad Diary @muslimdaddiary]

Take black seed oil instead.

No prescription, inexpensive, and the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ.

It is the cure for everything except death.

It also has vasodilating properties among many other benefits.

"Every male 40 and older should probably be taking somewhere between 2.5 and 5 milligrams of tadalafil." - @hubermanlab

Jordi: What do you think the best athletes in the world are doing this Olympics?

Huberman: "People are taking vasodilators. You know, Viagra and tadalafil, which commonly goes by Cialis."

"Tadalafil is a vasodilator. It lowers blood pressure, and people know of it as Cialis for erectile dysfunction. It was originally developed as a drug to improve prostate health."

"The basic takeaway is that most every male 40 and older should probably be taking somewhere between 2.5 and 5 milligrams of tadalafil—not necessarily for erectile function, although it will augment that as well—but to lower blood pressure and to improve vasodilation for the brain and the prostate."

"And I'm not saying this as a biohacker or a podcaster. Our head of male sexual health from Stanford, Mike Eisenberg, MD, PhD. He is best in class in terms of male sexual health endocrinology. That's his recommendation."

I don’t care how much you can bench, curl, or squat.

If you don’t have a family of your own, you literally are still half a man.

[Muslim Dad Diary @muslimdaddiary]

10 years ago - a sister was uncomfortable because she was moving to a community where there was no barrier between men and women’s section of the musallah.

Men were in the front, women in the back, which generally is fine.

Today, the same person defends her child by saying: “Why is hijab like this gold standard that people are judged by?”

Subhan Allah

[Muslim Dad Diary @muslimdaddiary]

@TheLaurenChen Or you can stop glamorizing every little part of a child’s life and let him know it’s not a big deal to just be alive.

Birthdays are narcissistic.

[Muslim Dad Diary @muslimdaddiary]

This is why public education is going down the toilet.

[The Principal’s Office @educator4ever36]

Not a single teacher should ever have to experience this, yet it happens all the time. This teacher is likely a husband and father. Could you imagine sending a loved one into this job everyday?

[Muslim Dad Diary @muslimdaddiary]

You might get tired of hearing the solution for many problems to be going back to the Qur'an and Sunnah, but it's true and will never change.

The same way when your doctor tells you to eat well, sleep right, and exercise is always going to be the best health advice.

Stop listening to it and just start.

[Muslim Dad Diary @muslimdaddiary]

@zaidchakir That deep breathing after a sprint is 🤌🏼💋. Really expands your chest and gives you that energy.

Good pain.
