the more i observe the behaviour of kids today, the more grateful i am that i was born in the nineties.i say this at the risk of sounding like a fossil but its true.. whilst kids will be kids with the odd tantrum ,vulgarity,failure to greet ,disregarding the property of others and not saying please and jazakillah (thanking) are simply unacceptable. i find it appalling that when it comes to their kids bad behaviour ,some parents tend to 'ostrich' - the thinking that if 1pretends that there is no problem with a said behaviour then there isnt!absurd! it further makes me grateful that i had a mother of the nineties..
now im one to talk,seeing as i have no children yet(hehe),but i seem to feel that good behaviour and good manners should not be limited to a specific race or creed. it must be taught universally,because to behave is to be human.is it not? Islam has provided man with a perfect moral code and good manners have been encouraged in a vast number of ahadith. Nabi S.A.W is reported to have said ; “Nothing is heavier in a slave’s balance on the day of judgment, than good manners” and “The best amongst you are those who have the best manners and character”
perfect manners?thats not what im eluding to,for that is beyond our reach.we are however capable of polishing our manners and making a constant effort to be polite,courteous and caring. children often become what they see and hear,so its our responsibility to provide the right examples.
weekends here,enjoy without forgetting your manners..
until you read again
ma,assalaam
