Okay Doctor Sahib,
look at this and guess: ‘date’.
Yes, say it again
Mudabbar Bhai (brother).
Look at this: ‘date’.
‘Miser’?
No, not ‘miser’.
Look here: ‘date’.
‘Grapes’?
No, its not ‘grapes’.
Look at me again: ‘date’.
Oh, ‘date’.
Yes! ‘date’.
This is a fun game Mudabbar Bhai.
My mouth is watering
after hearing ‘date’.
Dates are very tasty.
I eat a lot of dates.
Actually, date is a very special fruit.
One can find its references
in the Holy Qur’an, Hadith
and the Holy Prophet (saw)
had used it abundantly,
and so it is a Sunnah (practice
of the Holy Prophet (saw)).
Dates are very good for the health as well.
Yes, but Doctor Sahib we lost track of
time, and now it is time for the program.
Oh yes you are right, Mudabbar Bhai.
This is kids’ world, a world of kids.
Here is the way of knowledge,
come and open it.
Ask and see, ask and know.
Tell us what is in your hearts.
Increase my knowledge, my Lord.
O my Lord increase me in knowledge.
Peace and blessings of
Allah be upon you kids.
Today we are here again with
your program: Bachon Ki Dunya.
I am your Dr. Bablu and today like always,
I have with me our Mudabbar Bhai.
JazakAllah, Doctor Sahib. Peace
be upon you all dear kids.
Kids, you send us great questions, so why don’t
we start today’s program with your questions.
Let’s see what is the first
question of today’s program.
Peace be upon you all. My
name is Salmana Khalid.
I am 12 years old and I live in Malaysia.
My question is that how can we attain the
company of the righteous in today’s time?
JazakAllah.
Okay, the question sent by
kids is that in these times,
how can they learn good things by
spending time with the righteous?
Yes, Doctor Sahib, this is a very
good and an important question.
How to spend time with the righteous,
meaning how to gain their company?
How can this be accomplished in
these times? How is it important?
Dear kids, you all know that we read
Allah’s message in the Holy Qur’an
that He has told us and all the Muslims.
Allah in the Holy Qur’an says, (Arabic),
this translates, ‘O ye who believes,
fear Allah and be with the truthful.’
This means that spend time with good
people, righteous people, who do good,
who talk good, fear God,
and always speak the truth.
What will this do?
You will adapt their advices, you will follow
their good habits after listening to them,
and their good manners will
influence your personality as well.
So, this is what we must do.
This means that if we want
to stay away from evil,
we should stay in the
company of the righteous.
Yes, correct Doctor Sahib.
I think we should ask Fatah
and Zaki about this question,
so they can tell us more
things about this question.
This is kids’ world, a world of kids. Here is
the way of knowledge, come and open it.
Ask and see, ask and know.
Tell us what is in your hearts.
Increase my knowledge, my Lord.
O my Lord increase me in knowledge.
This is kids’ world, a world of kids. Here is
the way of knowledge, come and open it.
Ask and see, ask and know.
Bhai, sometimes I have bad thoughts
and I do not know why it happens.
Okay Zaki, whenever you have these thoughts,
think about who you spent your time with that day
Bhai, what is the connection between
my thoughts and my company?
It has a very deep connection.
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw) said,
‘A man follows the religion of his friend’.
This means that whatever are your friend’s
thoughts and nature, they influence you as well.
Bhai, then who should
we spend our time with?
Zaki, regarding this Allah Almighty
says in the Holy Qur’an, (Arabic),
that means that be among the truthful and
have good relationship with the righteous.
So, their good nature and good
thoughts impact you as well.
Bhai, do you have an example of someone
whose good company influenced someone?
Okay, let’s go upstairs,
I’ll tell you there.
This is kids’ world, a world of kids.
Here is the way of knowledge,
come and open it.
Ask and see, ask and know.
Tell us what is in your hearts.
Increase my knowledge, my Lord.
O my Lord increase me in knowledge.
If you look at the time of
the Holy Prophet (saw),
you will find out that people who spent
time with the Holy Prophet (saw),
would learn good things, and hence, they are
also among the blessed people of Allah Almighty.
Bhai, you are absolutely correct.
Zaki, do you know what it means to
be in the company of the righteous?
What does it mean, Bhai?
Zaki our beloved Promised Messiah (as) said
that, ‘Staying in the company of the righteous
‘is same as being in the company of God.’
Okay Bhai, does it mean that if we spend
time in the company of righteous people,
we come closer to Allah Almighty?
Yes, Zaki.
Bhai, the most righteous: our
beloved Holy Prophet (saw)
and Promised Messiah (as) have passed away.
Whose company should we
strive for in today’s time?
Zaki, this is a good question. I
will answer your question inside.
Okay Bhai.
Come with me.
This is kids’ world, a world of kids.
Here is the way of knowledge,
come and open it.
Ask and see, ask and know.
Tell us what is in your hearts.
Zaki, in today’s time we have
among us a very righteous man.
Bhai, are you talking about our beloved
Khalifa, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmed (aba)?
Yes Zaki. We should try
to meet Huzoor (aba).
If we live far away, we should
listen to the Friday sermon.
We should also write
letters to Huzoor (aba).
Then we should also try to talk with the elders
in our home (grandmothers and grandfathers).
Okay Bhai. Who else?
Aside from this, we
should go to the mosque
and discuss different religious
topics with the missionary.
This will increase us in knowledge, and
we will have company of the righteous.
Yes Bhai. JazakAllah,
now I’ve understood.
Okay, this is enough for
today. Let’s go for salat.
Kids did you listen to Fatah and Zaki carefully?
They have told us some great things.
They have explained us how we can obtain
company of the righteous in today’s time.
Yes, Fatah and Zaki have told us benefits
of being in the company of the righteous.
For example, their good nature influences
our nature and it is also important
so that we spend time with these people.
The Promised Messiah (as) said,
‘‘Staying in the company of the righteous
is same as being in the company of God.”
This is a great thing;
hence we should try to look for company of the
righteous and should remain in their company.
This is the duty and wish of every
believer to stay close to Allah Almighty.
Mudabbar Bhai, Fatah has also told us
how can we stay in the company
of the righteous in today’s time.
Yes, Doctor Sahib.
Allah has sent His pious people in every
era, so that people can benefit from them.
In these times, the biggest
blessing for us is Khilafat.
Allah Almighty has given us a Khalifa (aba) in
whose company we can get the benefit of righteous.
We should all try to get closer to Huzoor
(aba) whether it is from writing letters to him,
meeting him, sitting in his gatherings, or
watching MTA, his addresses, and other programs.
Every believer should try to offer
prayer behind his Khalifa (aba).
When we follow all of these things, we
would be in the company of the righteous
and this way we would get
closer to Allah Almighty.
Mudabbar Bhai, I think kids
understood this very well
that how can they get good
company in today’s times.
Now we should proceed
to the next question.
Okay Doctor Sahib.
Kids let’s continue to our next question
and see what you asked us next.
My name is Farah Waqas
and I live in Germany.
My question is that how should
we live in our house? JazakAllah.
May Allah protect you.
Peace be upon you all.
My name is Afreen Tanwir and I
am 9 years old. I live in Malaysia.
My question is that how should
we live in our house? JazakAllah.
Okay, the question is that how
should we live in our house?
This means, while living in the house,
what things should we take care of?
Yes, Doctor Sahib I think that to get the answer
of this question we should watch a video.
So kids, let’s go and see what answer
we get to these questions in this video.
Kids, let’s learn some things today
about the etiquettes of a house.
Firstly, when entering a house, the prayer
for entering a house should be read,
which is, translation,
“O Allah, I ask Thee for good both
when entering and when going out;
“in the name of Allah we have entered,
“and in the name of Allah we have gone
out and in Allah our Lord do we trust.”
After saying the prayer, ‘Salam’
should be said out loud.
The environment of the house should be such
that everyone living there can find comfort.
Parents and everyone else living in the house
should always be treated with good behavior,
and relations among each
other should be that of love.
Your house and its surrounding
environment should be kept clean.
Lines should not be made
on the house’s walls.
To keep the house clean, waste bins should be
placed at appropriate places throughout the house.
Sleeping and waking up should be
done at appropriate times in the house.
The Holy Qur’an should be recited
every morning in the house.
Other than congregational
prayers in the mosque,
optional and voluntary prayers should
also be performed in the house.
If the convenience of going to
the mosque is not available,
then prayers should be
said on time in the house.
Noises in the house should not be so loud
that it troubles the people living there.
Performing ablution at
night before going to bed
is one of the practice of the
Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw).
Brushing teeth twice
everyday should be a habit.
If guests come to the house, they should
be shown hospitality with an open heart,
without being exceedingly ceremonious.
While leaving the house,
this prayer should be said,
“I leave in the name of Allah, I place my trust in
Allah, there is no power to stay away from sins
“and no strength to do good deeds
except with Allah’s assistance.
“O Allah! I seek refuge in You
that I go astray or I am led astray,
“that I slip or I am made to slip,
“that I oppress or am oppressed,
that I carry out acts of ignorance
“or acts of ignorance are
carried out against me.”
Mudabbar Bhai, we can learn a lot from this
video about how we should live in our house.
Yes of course, Doctor Sahib.
And in this small video we
have learned so many things,
for example we should pray
before entering a house;
we should say ‘Salam’ out loud to
everyone when entering a house.
Then we should keep our
house neat and clean.
We should behave nicely to
people living in the house.
If guests come, they should be treated
nicely, no one should be inconvenienced.
And that we should recite the Holy Qur’an
daily in our house, and say prayers on time.
Keep the walls of the house clean,
draw no lines on the wall with a pencil,
and like this we should live in a
good environment altogether.
This leads to a good environment and
also causes blessings in the house
and good people become happy
upon coming to the house.
Mudabbar Bhai, I have a riddle in
my mind, would you like to solve it?
Yes certainly, you may ask.
Good, listen, “thirty-two pellets in one
box, those who solve it are very clever.”
Hmm, what is something that has
thirty-two pellets? Kids, do you know?
Mudabbar Bhai, let’s go
to the next question.
Until then, you and the kids can keep
thinking of an answer to this riddle.
This will do nicely, Doctor Sahib.
So, kids let’s keep thinking but let’s
also first see what your question is.
Peace be upon you all.
My name is Malik Ashir and
I am talking from Rabwah
and my question is that along with
schoolwork how can we do Jama’at’s work?
My name is Muneefa. I live in Germany.
My question is that along with schoolwork
how can we do Jama’at’s work?
Peace and blessings be upon you all.
My name is Rehmana Khalid
and I am ten years old.
I live in Malaysia.
My question is that along with schoolwork
how can we do Jama’at’s work? JazakAllah.
Good, so kids you want to know that along with
schoolwork how can you do Jama’at’s work?
Mudabbar Bhai, I think we should go
to Eisha for this question’s answer.
So, let’s go quickly to Eisha.
This question’s answer was given to us by
our beloved Huzoor (aba) in a class with kids.
So, let’s listen to what our beloved
Huzoor (aba) has said about this.
Peace be upon you Huzoor.
Peace be upon you too.
My name is Alina Munir
and my question was that along with
schoolwork how can we do Jama’at’s work?
You are studying in school?
Yes.
Give all your attention to your studies, okay? Do
your schoolwork daily after coming back, okay?
Your schoolwork should
get your complete attention.
After this, during the weekend give one day
or a few hours to Jama’at’s work if you can.
If you can give the second day you should, but
anyway you should study with the purpose
that by gaining this
knowledge I will help Jama’at.
If you waste this time for you to study
then two years later you will
not get this time to study again,
but you can find the time to do Jama’at’s
work two years later, God willing, okay?
But you should form the habit of
giving some of your time to Jama’at
if something is your responsibility or if
there are meetings during the weekend.
It only takes a few hours. What
work do you have that takes all day,
if you converse like Lajna then that’s a different
thing, but the work finishes in an hour.
So, kids, you have listened attentively
to what the beloved Huzoor (aba) said.
Let’s go back to the studio and ask
Mudabbar Bhai to do some revision.
JazakAllah Eisha. So, kids,
what has Huzoor (aba) told us?
He has told us that Ahmadi kids should
always give their full attention to their studies.
After this Doctor Sahib,
Huzoor (aba) has told the kids
to give some time to
Jama’at on the weekend
and work there for as long as possible, but
Huzoor (aba) has said that Ahmadi kids study
so they can help Jama’at, so that is why
studies should be given your full attention.
When your studies are good,
and you are successful,
and you get good marks then after
that you can better help Jama’at.
So Mudabbar Bhai, give me the
answer to the riddle I told you,
“thirty-two pellets in one box,
those who solve it are very clever.”
Doctor Sahib, can you help me a little?
Okay, Mudabbar Bhai, can you tell what we
learned today about the etiquettes of a house,
that we should do something
at least twice a day?
Oh right, we should brush
our teeth twice a day.
Right, I get it now, the answer is teeth!
Yes, you are right.
Humans have thirty-two
teeth in their mouth.
Oh Doctor Sahib, we didn’t pay any
attention to the time, our time is ending.
Let’s see some of the kids’
questions before we go.
Alright. Let’s go to
kids’ questions then.
Peace and blessings be upon you all.
My name is Tamseel-ul-Saeed
and my name is Saad Ahmed.
We live in Malaysia.
My question is that why does
Allah have so many names?
Peace and blessings be upon you all.
My name is Sumayya, I live in Benin.
My question is that how should
we live in our house? JazakAllah.
JazakAllah dear kids, just like this in the
future please keep sending us your questions.
Ask your parents to make
a video of your questions.
While making the video keep in
mind that the video is in landscape
and there are no pictures
in the background.
And now please excuse
Dr. Bablu and Mudabbar Bhai.
We will be back next time, until then May
God protect you and Peace be upon you all.
May God protect you.
