The bad jiin, the syaitan, will always be alert to cause diversion, division and destruction: so much so they will attack those who want to do their obligations and please, they will leave the ones who do not make devotions alone, because those need not be tempted. These bad entities cannot be seen but felt. They will cause unneccessary confusion, hurt and pain to manipulate and make trouble. They will use children in fights to upset parents, and when parents themselves aren't alert, and these events become out of hand, then the bad jiin and syaitan have achieved their aim. When we do something wrong, we must quickly make ammends, apologise and feel regret. At once, without ego or pride, and make the situation well again. Confrontation, negative antagonistic behaviour, words and actions, in an environment without light is like a bomb waiting to detonate. Improper words and actions that children learn and vice versa will come from their environment. Everyone is born in purity till their parents teach them to be otherwise. Or lack of attention and discipline in the home environment will cause non Islamic habits to flourish. These bad jiin and syaitan, know the weaknesses of individuals. In an atmosphere that feeds them, they become strong from the negativityy that surrounds them, hence any Islamic education and or influence will be fought off by them. The daily rituals in any Islamic household should be the regular shalat, the reading of Al Qur'an, reading shalawat, within a structured text like Ratib Al Hadad or Ratib AlAtos. The zikir of Allah(SWT) Subhana wa Taala must be taught to children, and also shown by example, as a daily habit in a home. So, when a home lacks these motivations and positive energy from Al Qur'an, the establishment of shalat and other devotions, the bad and negative energy of bad jiin and syaitan, will take control of that home and environment. It is as if a dedicated seeker and believer will fight waves to dakwah and teach in a negative and dark environment as such, which have many people who care not about the rules and regulations stipulated by Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala, and they go about their lives, defining themselves by status, wealth and control. Little do they realise, they bring more and more syaitan and bad jiin into their homes, with attitude and behaviour that go against Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala. Every muslim knows that angels do not enter the home where their is a dog in it.
Abu Talha reported Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) having said: Angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture.
It says in Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi (8/72):
The words “the angels do not enter” mean: the angels of mercy, not the recording angels or the Angels of death. End quote.
Ibn al-Atheer (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
What is meant is the angels who travel about and not the recording angels and those who are present at the time of death. End quote.
Let alone if you totally ignore this hadith , and put the animal in a space where there is Asma ul Husna. As an example, this is disrespecting the names of Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala. No barakah can come from such acts. And a heart that will not follow what Al Qur'an states, nor follow the hadith of Rasulallah (saaw)salallahu wa alaih wa alih wa shohbihi wa sallam, is a hard heart. Therefore, if we are to raise true muslim children, we must create an environment and daily lifestyle that will project to them the feeling and picture of what Islam is to us. We have children and as parents it is our duty and responsibility to educate them in Islam, making them knowledgable in accordance to Al Qur'an and true sunnah of Rasul (saaw). We are in the end of times, the bad and negative energy is heightening. We will all have to face the Qiyamaah. Our children and our descendants must be given the best tools as true muslims, to recognise good from bad characteristics, how to be the best in the true form of a human, and to feed their souls by daily observance that the shareah teaches us. This is their right, and it must be fulfilled. Anyone, who lacks concern in these matters, will be held responsible for negligence. They will be asked about this amanah that they neglected. May Allah SWT make it easy for us to strive in the path and to teach the best and hand down the best Islamic knowledge to our children. In today's environment, media is the tool which syaitan uses to infiltrate the minds of our beloved children, so much so that Islamic values are trodden on, and syaitan values are ingrained. Subconsciously, our children are taught to be disobedient and they do not realise this. The media of movies and songs shows, teaches and encourages bad habits in our children. If we have no control or daily Islamic habits in our homes, we will have unruly children. The responsibility of this has to be taken seriously. How can our children have better choices when they aren' t taught? How can they make good decisions when they have no knowledge? Certainly, we shall all be tested by family, spouses, wealth and this dunya is a playground and a test. One day, it will be too late for regrets.
رَبِّ اجْعَلْنِي مُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةِ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِي رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلْ دُعَاءِ
O my Lord! make me one who establishes regular Prayer, and also (raise such) among my offspring O our Lord! and accept Thou my Prayer. Surah 14:40
(Bukhari) In the name of Allah. O Allah! Protect us from Satan and also protect what you bestow upon us (i.e. the coming offspring) from Satan.
