30 WAYS TO BE A BETTER MOM

1. Imbue in him a love for Allah (God), righteousness, and his own people.

2. Foster in him a love and enthusiasm for the ACQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE.

3. Do something with your child every day (just sit down and talk, let him read to you, watch an educational video on YouTube, look through your photos, do a science experiment, play a game, &c.)

4. Don’t EVER raise your voice when speaking to your child. ALWAYS SMILE (even when disciplining).

5. Hug your child AT LEAST once every day.

6. Do things that are good for you health-wise. (Read food labels and avoid giving your child processed foods full of preservatives, artificial colors and flavors. NEVER give your child “fast food.” Prepare it yourself. You will have a healthier baby. You eat one meal a day and don’t eat between meals. Cut down on sweets. Be a good example!)

7. Kiss him while he is sleeping.

8. Get him off the computer and from in front of the t.v. for at least an hour every day by giving him educational assignments that will improve his intelligence. For example, a non-fiction book, an educational video, math workbooks, have him research a topic of interest on Wikipedia, or write in his journal, do a science experiment together, &c. (NO SPORTS! NO GAMES! SOMETHING EDUCATIONAL). YOU have to show him/her that developing and improving his intelligence is paramount AND SHOULD OCCUR EVERYDAY (even weekends).

9. Remind yourself, “He’s ___ years old. He’s still a child.” OR “He’s __ years old. He’s growing up.” Then treat him that way.

10. Cultivate SERENITY and PEACE in yourself and your child(ren).

11. Make him his favorite food regularly.

12. Leave a sweet note on his pillow or in his lunchbox occasionally.

13. Be the mother YOU always wanted.

14. Picture yourself at his age. Try to remember how you felt and how you wanted to be treated. Then treat him that way.

15. Pray for wisdom in mothering throughout the day.

16. Tell your child, “I love you and I’m glad you’re my son/daughter!”

17. NEVER criticize your child. And NEVER criticize other people in front of your child(ren). Always demonstrate kindness and empathy towards others and your child will learn to do the same.

18. Always remember that being a mother is a GIFT from ALLAH (GOD).

19. Be firm when needed; but NEVER harsh.

20. Practice PATIENCE. Keep calm and stay relaxed. Do not get emotional and teach your child to do the same. Never show your emotions (positive or negative) in public.

21. Laugh with your child often. Don’t be so serious!!

22. Picture your child at age 25. Mother with that person in mind.

23. Think of a mom YOU admire. What quality of hers can you incorporate into your mothering?

24. How do you want to be remembered by your child? Be that mother.

25. Teach your child many things he can do on his own.

26. Replace sarcasm with KINDNESS.

27. Try not to interrupt when he/she is talking. Listening and showing interest will encourage your child to open up to you.

28. Ask your child’s opinion often. Let him know that his feelings are important too. When ordering food, ask your child what he/she wants to eat. Never order for him.

29. Encourage him emphatically and be overly supportive.

30. Be the persona of Love and Happiness (even when you don’t feel like it 🙂 ).

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beautiful Black Sisters From The Aboriginal Nation of The Planet

Dear Sisters, recently I posted a blog about “Language” and it stated that we must “Study, read and keep up with the News, so you may have something to talk about.”  However, we cannot rely on Western media to give us unbiased information pertaining to Our Global Black Nation. As I have been promoting this blog on Facebook, I have come across numerous groups from across the African Diaspora with members from these various regions discussing issues occurring in their countries.

I cannot overemphasize how eye-opening “eavesdropping” on these discussions have been. Most of the groups are concerning politics; a very accurate depiction of the conditions in a particular country. Other groups are related to means of improving conditions in the country. And still many others are targeted toward the youth of The Black Nation, empowering them to assume leadership roles in their ever-evolving countries.

As mothers, we must make sure our children are aware of happenings around the globe and are not limited to the white supremacist views portrayed by the Western media and their schools. We can do this easily – by familiarizing ourselves with the views and opinions of the people of these countries. Join a Group!

We can supplement what we learn in these groups, and teach our children global awareness, by assigning research projects of countries with majority black populations. All they have to do is Google the country. They can find out the history of the country, its demographics and leaders, when it attained its independence and also current events.

Here are some Facebook Groups I have found that offer a variety of views. Admittedly, some of the posts are in native languages, but the majority, and in some groups all, of the posts are in English. It is definitely worth taking the time to decipher the posts until you get a better understanding. The opinions expressed are genuine. Most of them are pretty well-moderated and free from ads, however, you may have to sift through the Ghana and Zambia sites to get to the relevant information. It won’t be long before you have become familiar with the players (politicians) and settings in the true-stories unfolding in Mama Africa and around the world.

Pan-African (Global)

Pan-African (American)

The Caribbean

Sierra Leone

Malawi

Nigeria

Zimbabwe

Botswana

Ghana

Zambia

South Africa

I tried to post the most objective groups out of all the ones I joined. Sisters, you will find evident in these groups, one universal truth concerning Black People. I would like to submit to you, Dear Sisters, that there are two kinds of Black People in the world, namely those that love themselves/their people and don’t like white people and those that don’t love themselves/their people and do like white people. This is true of Black people all over the Earth and there is no middle ground. You cannot serve two masters.

As a practice, we, Black people choose political leaders who share our views concerning white people as you will see evidenced in the results of the recent elections in Zimbabwe and the differing political parties in South Africa (the ANC and the EFF). We, Black people in America, are in a unique situation because it is impossible to love Black People and be an American statesman. The two are mutually exclusive.

You know my views concerning white people, but I did not let my personal opinion interfere with my impartiality in choosing the groups listed here. You will find Muslims, Christians, old and young. You will also find white people posting in the South Africa group. Theirs was the ONLY group in which I found white people actively contributing to the discourse. I am sure it is because of South Africa’s history and present of white people occupying their country. However, that is their reality and reality is what we need in order to effectively improve our condition.

The Messenger’s Teachings on Homosexuality

The Messenger’s Teachings on Teaching Our Children about Homosexuality

Excerpt from Messenger Elijah Muhammad’s Table Talks on August 23, 1968

“God has taught us how to contend with the devil and I want to teach you.

“Children in school are wise and behave proudly; acting strange. And this is because it is prophesied and the best way to contend with it is to separate them from the good ones and study the bad one and stop him by exposing him in the eyes of the others. ‘I want you to know that if you follow after this one I’m going to find a way to punish you and I warn all of you, if I catch one of you practicing this evil, then I’m going to punish you. And your parents are with me and I’m going to tell them what a nasty child you are and you are not fit for Islam nor Christianity. You only fit for hell fire. And if one of you see him wrong I’m going to punish you and tell your deeds in front of all of them.’ And that will make them feel cheap. Keep them separate from lost founds because those will spoil our children.

“Use same method for older children. ‘See this girl over here. She wants her for her sweetheart.’ ‘See this little boy over here. He wants him for his wife. See those boys over here they are not natural. They are savages. They want to be sweethearts with each other. These are the type Allah wants to burn up.’

“Teach them all they can take in wisdom but never give them more than they can take….”

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved and Beautiful Sisters!

Our Beloved Messenger, The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah Forever Be Upon Him) vehemently stressed the importance of The So-Called Negroes DOING SOMETHING FOR SELF! We will never be considered as a free people, equal with the civilized societies of the earth, unless we qualify ourselves and do and have the same things those people have.

We must instill in our children the desire to DO SOMETHING FOR SELF, so they will not be like their parents – dependent upon the slavemaster for everything they need. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah forever be upon him) taught us in MESSAGE TO THE BLACKMAN IN AMERICA (page 39): “My people should get an education which will benefit their own people and not an education adding to the “storehouse” of their teacher.”

Our children must develop an entrepreneurial spirit and free themselves of the idea of getting an education just to get a high-paying job. They must be instructed to think in terms of The Black Nation as a whole. That is the only way we can build a Nation. If each person only thinks in terms of self, then we will not progress.

Many of our youth are captivated by sport and play. They want to grow up to be a rapper or an athlete or marry a rapper or athlete. If everyone is making music or playing sports, who is going to build our factories? Who is going to cultivate our farms? Who is going to make our shoes and clothes? If we don’t lead and guide our children to think in terms of careers that will be productive then we will forever be dependent on the devil (whiteman).

An excellent way to expose your children to the idea of becoming producers, as opposed to consumers, is to schedule a factory tour. So they can bear witness to productivity in action. Factory Tours USA has a listing of all of the corporations that offer public tours of their facilities. I have scheduled a tour for my family of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and “The Los Angeles Times” Newspaper. Those were the only two nearby that are conducive to building a Nation. The rest were wastes of time like beer and candy factories. When choosing a tour, make sure you keep Nation-Building in mind. The Possibilities Are Endless!

S (SCIENCE) T (TECHNOLOGY) E (ENGINEERING) M (MATHEMATICS)

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved And Beautiful Sisters!

Science is probably THE most fascinating subject in the entire universe. TRUTHFULLY, it is the Universe! The study of Science makes an otherwise boring school day, fun and exciting! And through interesting and educational science experiments, makes it interactive.

Understanding and being able to communicate Science is a comprehensive method of measuring one’s knowledge; showing and proving that you possess the knowledge of how and why things work.

The Definitions of SCIENCE, According to Dictionary.com are:

  1. a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws: the mathematical sciences.
  2. a systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation.
  3. any of the branches of natural or physical science.
************************
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) taught us in MESSAGE TO THE BLACKMAN IN AMERICA (page 41) that “Knowledge is the result of learning and is a force or energy that makes its bearer accomplish or overcome obstacles, barriers and resistance.” 
According to Dictionary.com, that could also be the definition of Engineering:
1. the art or science of making practical application of the knowledge of pure sciences,
as physics or chemistry, as in the construction of engines, bridges, buildings, mines, ships, and chemical plants.
“At the proper time we will need to know all types of Engineering. We have to re-build for ourselves the type of Civilization that Allah demands us to accept. In words to say–we have to rebuild a Nation. Engineering is the first trade that will be in demand.” – Messenger Elijah Muhammad
SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING and MATHEMATICS are elements of Knowledge, about which we should enthusiastically encourage our children to become passionate. These are the essential building blocks for building civilization. Our Beloved Messenger, The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah forever be upon him) taught us that one must have knowledge of ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS, in particular, in order to build a civilization.

Instill in your children, a desire to Do Something For their own Black Self and Kind by educating them as to the importance of STEM subjects toward building our own Black Nation. This can be done in a number of different ways.

974481088

* Make your children KEENLY AWARE of the fact that SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS AND ENGINEERING ALL BEGAN WITH BLACK PEOPLE. THIS IS THE ONE THING THAT THE DEVIL DOES NOT WANT OUR CHILDREN TO KNOW. You must educate your children about the origins of these indispensable sciences, especially if your children attend the devil’s schools where they will be taught that white people discovered all of the sciences and mathematical breakthroughs and that Black people discovered nothing. This reinforces white-supremacist ideals and fosters an attitude of self-hate and indifference toward their own Black people. Educate your children as to the TRUE HISTORY of the whiteman, i.e. that when white people were living like beasts in the hills and cavesides of Europe, Black people were dwelling in highly advanced and rightly civilized societies in Arabia and Africa.

I found in my search for specifically BLACK centered Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, a list of books documenting the fact that BLACK PEOPLE discovered all of these subjects. I am going to include the link so you can choose whichever books are interesting to you at this stage in your acquisition of KNOWLEDGE and share what you learn with your children.

* Create a nurturing environment of exploring STEM subjects in your home, where you can give your children a hands on experience in the wonders of SCIENCE. Let them take your old electronic devices apart, or anything with moving parts. Even if they don’t understand how it works, they might be able to reassemble it, becoming familiar with the different parts and how they all fit together. Plan and then visit Science Centers. Cultivate your child’s love of science-in-action by doing experiments with him. Here is an online resource for TONS of websites you can peruse to find simple science experiments you can try with your children. ALL CHILDREN LOVE SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS. Make Science easily accessible and routine. Surround your child with scientific images (Periodic Tables and Solar System posters, Constructive Toys and Games like Erector Sets, &c.) YOU have to envelop your child in STEM subjects. Make them available and approachable. It rests on your shoulders….

242986_1953445430271_2828693_o

* Bring science and technology into perspective by pointing out its daily applications. Teach your children how science, technology, engineering, and mathematics have led to the establishment of most of the things we use in our everyday lives, such as running water, electricity, and transportation. Have your child imagine what life was like before we had these things. By explaining the history of technology, your child will begin to comprehend that technology is related to building and advancing civilization and makes our daily lives much more productive and enjoyable.

* Interest your children in watching television shows or videos that promote STEM subjects. “The Magic School Bus” is excellent for inadvertently teaching science to young children. (Note: If you click on the YouTube icon on the bottom right of the screen it will take you to the YouTube website where more “Magic School Bus” videos will appear.)

Also, “Bill Nye the Science Guy” teaches many different scientific concepts very engagingly.

The “Eyewitness” TV Series has some excellent videos about a range of different STEM subjects.

 

 

 Disney also has a series of VERY INFORMATIVE AND ENTERTAINING engineering-based videos called “The Science of Disney Imagineering”. The Disney videos are exceptionally good, but quite expensive.

Fortunately, all of these videos can be found at your local library. (Note “The Magic School Bus” and “Eyewitness” began as book series, so you can also incorporate these into your child’s world of science and encourage your children to only read and explore non-fiction books.) 

For older children, PBS has a series called “Design Squad Nation” which demonstrates to young people (pre-teens) that even at what they may consider a young age, they are perfectly capable of mastering complicated engineering projects. This program makes something that most young people don’t even understand (ENGINEERING), “do-able” and actually quite intriguing and definitely worth investigating. You can find it at DESIGN SQUAD NATION. Just click “Watch”.

 

 

* ENCOURAGE AND PROMOTE INQUIRIES. If your child asks you something, with today’s technology, there is no reason for you to not be able to give him an informed and educated answer. Master the Science of Finding the Truth on the Internet. Rely on several sources and demonstrate to your children that every answer to every question is right at their fingertips. GOOGLE IT! This will feed your child’s natural curiosity, and you know what they say, “Curiosity is the Mother of Invention.” Or something like that….  

(*I just GOOGLED it, it’s “NECESSITY is the MOTHER OF INVENTION”. But CURIOSITY has to be up there too. 🙂 )

In short, it is impossible to exhaust the resources available to you on the Internet when it comes to educating your children in STEM subjects. Here are a few more good sites.

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved, Beautiful and Black, Tech Savvy Sisters!!!

When I was in Jr. High School, it seemed as if EVERYBODY was telling me to go into the field of Computer Programming. But Computer Programming was so boring!! I took a computer class in the 8th grade and the extent of our programming was being able to make a word (or sentence, if you wanted to jazz it up) run continuously up the monitor’s screen. Which was hardly fascinating even for the early 80’s. And not hardly the stuff to pique the desultory interests of an artsy 12-year-old.

However, now that I bear witness to the heights to which computer technology has advanced, I am becoming increasingly more interested in the field of Computer Science, especially for my son. I am preparing him for a future wherein computers will undoubtedly play a pivotal role. Proficiency in Computer Science can only help him succeed, considering that Computer Programming is inarguably, the most sought-after profession in the world.

In the United States, we are lagging far behind other countries in the area of preparing candidates for the many positions becoming available in the field of Computer Science. The demand is greater than there are qualified candidates to fill these positions. Therefore, these positions are being outsourced to other countries. Additionally, advances in technology make it even more possible for people in other countries to fill these positions that under previous conditions would have been limited to citizens here in the United States.

This is very unfortunate, especially for Black People in America, who are suffering from the highest rate of unemployment than any other nationality in the country. If we were only trained in the field of Computer Science! It is THE fastest growing field in the country, if not the world.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

“Employment of software developers is projected to grow 30% from 2010 to 2020, much faster than the average for all occupations. The main reason for the rapid growth is a large increase in the demand for computer software.”

The statistic also reports that the median income for a Computer Software Developer is $90,530 annually and $43.52 per hour! I am really regretting not taking the advice I was given 30 years ago. Especially since computer programming skills are so beneficial to success in ANY field. Computers dominate every industry you can think of. Even doctors carry tablets with them nowadays, as opposed to clipboards of the past, as they check-up on patients.

Technology is advancing at rocket speed, so the sooner you introduce Computer Science to your children the better. I have downloaded some software designed to teach children computer programming, but it was just boring for my son. From what I have learned, programming is very intricate and takes an enormous amount of patience. 

So, I have determined to learn Computer Programming and then teach my son myself. Mobile technology is the wave of the future, so I wanted to bypass the traditional method of computer programming and just dive into developing applications for mobile operating systems (OS). However, after some careful research, I decided I had better get some background skills, since I have absolutely no previous experience with computer programming. (Well, except that RAM/ROM class I took in the 8th grade 🙂 ).

From my research, I learned that Javascript is one of the best computer languages to learn because it is not limited to a specific hardware platform. It can be used on any platform such as Microsoft Windows, Linux, Solaris OS, and Mac OS. It is also based on previous well-known programming languages but because it is newer, it simplifies them and thus, makes programming easier and faster. It is also the most desired language for companies hiring new programmers.

Java offers a tutorial on its website, which is absolutely free to anyone who has the initiative to learn the language. You don’t have to enroll in college to learn how to program. You can learn right from the comfort of your own home! So, there’s no excuse not to learn. Think of your children. I’m sure they know how to use a computer, now they can learn how to program one! And they will have a head start if they decide to go into the big bucks field of Computer Science. And even if they don’t, I’m sure by the time they are ready to open their own businesses, they will be able to save a ton of money by developing their own app!

After learning how to program using Java, In sha Allah (If it is the Will of Allah) I plan to move on to developing applications on the Android operating system. You can click on the picture below to go to the Android Tutorial.

My son is a fast learner, so I’m not going to make him learn all of the basics that I feel I need.

I pray Allah, you will put your computer to good productive use and take advantage of the many opportunities available to you. Think over how BEHIND the majority of our people (who don’t own personal computers) will be in the future! Show Our Saviour, Master Fard Muhammad, To Whom Praise is Due Forever, that you are Grateful for His Blessing you with a computer, by using it to prepare your children for success and to be the absolute BEST QUALIFIED they possibly they can be. Our Beloved Messenger, The Most Honorable and Humble Elijah Muhammad (PBUH) taught us there are wide fields available to the wide-awake Blackman. We just have to qualify ourselves to take over the rule.

May Allah Bless You With Unimaginable Success In All Your Endeavors!

Homemade Personal Cleansing Cloths (Wipes)

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim

wipes

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved, Beautiful and Refined Black Sisters!

It is a well-known fact that “Cleanliness is Next to Godliness.” And, as the Aboriginal Black Woman, we should let no woman beat us in anything when it comes to intelligence and cleanliness. This includes our surroundings and ourselves. Our homes should be spotless at all times, so that we could eat off the floor, if need be.

We should bathe or the equivalent every night before we get in the bed. It is best to bathe before getting in the bed because you don’t want to put on clean night clothes and get in a clean bed with a dirty body. So, we should get in the habit of taking a bath every night before we pray and go to sleep.

Personally, I have gotten to the point where I really look forward to my nightly baths. I play soft music and put a couple of drops of Lavender Essential Oil in the water. It is also nice to bathe by candlelight. I used to use bubble bath, but ever since I’ve started trying to limit the amount of toxins I absorb into my body, I have decided to omit the store bought bubble bath. I have not found a recipe for homemade Bubble Bath as yet, however, the experience is just as relaxing without the bubble bath.

***UPDATE***

I started using bubble bath again. I just try to make sure it doesn’t have too many harmful ingredients. And steer clear of 99 cents store bubble bath with the Proposition 65 Warning. I really love Bath & Body Works Lavender Bubble Bath or whatever it’s called. I don’t remember what’s in it but something that makes you feel that good can’t be that bad for you. And if it is, I’m just going to balance it by eating properly and using other products that aren’t harmful. Sometimes I use dishwashing liquid when I don’t have any bubble bath. Avon is good too.

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

Since we are such busy creatures, keeping house, raising children and taking care of our husbands, I believe Our Saviour, Allah, delights in us pampering ourselves and taking a little time to relax and reward ourselves after a hard day of housework.

When I marry my Zawji, we plan to have a big enough bathtub so that we can do our ablutions together.

But I digress. Cleanliness is an area about which we should be almost obsessive. We should not be able to sit down unless our house is immaculate. And we should be just as thorough about personal cleanliness as well.

Our clothes should always be completely clean and unsoiled, mended and properly pressed. And they should also always be put on a clean body. We should make every effort to maintain personal hygiene and keep ourselves as clean and fresh as possible throughout the day. One important way we can ensure that we are completely clean and odorless is by using Personal Cleansing Cloths after visiting the privy.

They are also good for freshening up during menstruation.

Personal Cleansing Cloths are very easy to make and do not contain harsh chemicals and toxins found in store bought wet wipes. Also, by using personal cleansing cloths you will never be ashamed by any embarrassing and unsanitary stains found in your undergarments ever again. They are extremely safe and gentle enough to use on your precious Black babies.

INGREDIENTS

1 roll of heavy duty paper towels (the cheap kind won’t work for these)

Round plastic container with lid. The taller the better. I use a large pitcher.

2 Cups Hot Water

4-5 T Black Soap (grated)download (31)
(You should get your African Black Soap from TAJ MAHAL on Crenshaw and 57th. They have the best prices. Their website doesn’t offer the authentic African Black Soap (as shown in the picture) but you can get a big block (about four of the bars in the picture) for only $12.00. They also sell the size in the picture for $3.00, I think. Just call them and ask them to send you the REAL AFRICAN BLACK SOAP. Tell them you want the kind that comes wrapped in plastic wrap.)

2 T Aloe Vera

2 T Witch Hazel

3 T Olive, Almond, Jojoba or any Oil or combination of Oils

1 T Cocoa Butter or Shea Butter

*You can vary the amounts depending on the size of your wipes

DIRECTIONS

1. Cut the roll just enough so it fits into your container. If you cut the roll in half, your wipes will be rather small and rectangular.

2. Place the wipes, cut side down in container.

3. Dissolve Black Soap and Cocoa Butter in hot water.

4. Add Aloe Vera, Oil and Witch Hazel. Mix well.

6. Pour mixture over paper towels and let absorb. You can flip it over to cover the entire area. This should take about five-ten minutes.

7. Pull out the cardboard and one paper towel from the inside of the roll. This will get your roll started for you.

These wipes are MUCH better quality than ANY brand I have ever bought from the store. Not to mention that they are better for your health. You can use them without worrying about harmful chemicals and relish in the fact that you are improving your and your family’s measure of cleanliness, which is one of the greatest enjoyments we can have.

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved, Beautiful and Intelligent Sisters!

Our Beloved Messenger, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah Forever Be Upon Him) taught us that the Original Language of The Aboriginal Black Nation of the Planet Earth is ARABIC. Arabic is the Language of Allah. It is the Language in which Our Holy Book, The Glorious Holy Qur-an Sharrieff, was revealed.

Our Lessons Teach us that:

“The root of civilization is in Arabia at the Holy City Mecca, which means where wisdom and knowledge of the original man first started, when the planet was found.” 

Conclusively, since the Root of Civilization is in Arabia at the Holy City Mecca, then the Language of the Original Man – The Asiatic Blackman – is Arabic.

You may disagree with this bit of history, which is understandable, because the devil has not confirmed it. But consider this… One MUST be a Muslim to enter the City of Mecca. If the whiteman cannot even enter the city, how can he determine how old it is???

Our Lessons originated with The Originator of the Universe. Who would know better than He where the Root of Civilization is located? You Can Take It or Leave It. But your disbelief does not detract from the Truth one iota. It just makes you a disbeliever.

With the Knowledge that Arabic is our Original Language, we should take the proper steps to master this Divine Language. Fortunately for you, the whole world of information is just a click away.

With a little determination, you can learn anything you desire through the resources available to you on the Internet. If you are Homeschooling, or if you are not Homeschooling, you should ensure your child spends quality time on the computer and does not waste time and energy playing silly games which require no thought thinking.

Young children pick up languages very quickly. The earlier you begin the better. If you learn along with them, you can converse with each other. And it is very cool to be out in the public where no one but you and your child understand what you’re saying to each other!

Not to mention the cognitive benefits of speaking a second or multiple languages. According to this article:

“The collective evidence from a number of studies suggests that the bilingual experience improves the brain’s so-called executive function — a command system that directs the attention processes that we use for planning, solving problems and performing various other mentally demanding tasks. These processes include ignoring distractions to stay focused, switching attention willfully from one thing to another and holding information in mind — like remembering a sequence of directions while driving.”

Learning a foreign language will make your children better equipped for immediate and future success and will give them the mental tools they will need for governing in the Hereafter. It will also be beneficial to you. The above study indicates that:

“Individuals with a higher degree of bilingualism — measured through a comparative evaluation of proficiency in each language — were more resistant than others to the onset of dementia and other symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease: the higher the degree of bilingualism, the later the age of onset.”

Just my own personal research on homeschooling resources and websites.

Because most of the websites are for fee, I would highly recommend visiting your neighborhood public school and talking to the staff about using old or discontinued textbooks along with the teacher’s guides.

It is difficult to find textbooks online that come with the teacher’s guides so I think this would be your best bet.

Bismillah

In the Name of Allah, Master Fard Muhammad

Type the letter 'f'

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum!

Beloved Sisters, I cannot overemphasize the importance of Homeschooling your children. The devil’s school is NO PLACE to send your children to be educated. All they will learn is white supremacy and self-hate. Our children MUST be given a THOROUGH Knowledge of Self so they can assume their rightful position as the rulers of the next world. They can only attain this Supreme Wisdom from their own.

We must make a prodigious effort to educate ourselves, so that A.) we will be qualified to properly educate our children and B.) our children will bear witness to how important the acquisition of knowledge is to us.

We must first get a thorough Knowledge of Self, God and our enemy the devil Caucasian. This Divine Supreme Wisdom Teaching Can Only Come From The Only Man Raised By Allah to Teach us of This Knowledge – The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah Forever Be Upon Him).

He died in 1975, but he left a plethora of books, articles, videos and audiotaped lectures of his Teachings which will live FOREVER. Just go to YouTube and type in The Honourable Elijah Muhammad (pbuh) and you will find numerous videos of his lectures and interviews. Beware of people talking ABOUT him. Listen to what HE had to say to get a thorough education of his Teachings and not what people said ABOUT him. See for yourself.

We must be obsessed with this Divine Supreme Wisdom Teaching and instill in our children the importance of internalizing this Wisdom. We must clearly understand that learning The Supreme Wisdom and practicing Islam are the only things that will save us from the destruction coming to America and will also bring us success. We have to teach our children this Wisdom at home. The devil will NEVER teach us of his own Destruction and our Salvation.

Our Beloved Messenger, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) taught in Message To The Blackman In America:

“We need education, but an education which removes us from the shackles of slavery and servitude. Get an education, but not an education which leaves us in an inferior position and without a future. Get an education, but not an education that leaves us looking to the slave-master for a job.

“We should acquire an education where our people will become better students than their teachers. Get an education which will make our people produce jobs for self and will make our people willing and able to go and do for self.”

The devil will only teach our Black children, in his schools, to continue to be his slaves. Just like he taught us and our parents. We have to teach our children the Knowledge and Wisdom that will make them to Do Something For Self and be Independent Rulers. Black is going to be the Rulers of the Next Life and Only YOU can make your children aware of the necessary Qualification for this Divine Responsibility.

Teach them what The Honourable Elijah Muhammad (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allah Forever Be Upon Him) taught us we need to know in Message To The Blackman in America – The Knowledge of Self, God and the Devil; Mathematics; Science and History – the History of the Black Nation, the Knowledge of the Civilizations of Man and the Universe and All the Sciences.

Writing is the way in which we communicate our thoughts to others. We must teach our children how to be proficient in this Art if we plan on them attaining any degree of success.

I have found a website that will teach your young Black children the indispensable skill of TYPING. Typing has always been an invaluable skill, and in the information age in which we live, those who can type have an enormous advantage over those who cannot. The earlier your children learn how to type, the earlier they can begin spreading the Message of Islam (Salvation) across the Internet and thus, help Our Beloved Messenger (PBUH) in the work of raising their mentally dead Lost and now Found Brothers and Sisters.

Learning to type is a skill which your children will carry with them for the rest of their lives. It will make transferring their thoughts to paper or computer 1000 times easier than if they had to struggle pecking on a keyboard. Setting aside just a few minutes each day (about 10-15 minutes or more depending on their attention span) will allow them to practice and develop an integral skill which will inarguably be advantageous for them in the future.

*************

The first website is for younger children, but I am also including another website that is more suitable for older children, which adults might also find beneficial, if our typing skills need some “tweaking”. 🙂

I Pray Allah, We Are Able To Make Use Of These Resources And That Allah Blesses Us With Incalculable Successes In The Education Of Our Children In A Manner That Will Make Us Better Prepared To Be Just And Wise, Righteous Rulers In Our Future Wherein There Will Be Nothing But Unlimited Progress!!!

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum!
