Don't you just love kids?! SubhaanAllah, went to South Woodford Masjid today to meet a potential. In the next room in which I was waiting, there was a children's class taking place. The serenity of the class was at a level that cannot be described. If you ever get a chance to experience it, visit the Masjid on any Sunday at around 11ish. Your heart will adore the purity and the cleanliness of the air within the mosque in the presence of the children - probably due to their innocence and purity.
The kid's were learning Arabic, and when the teacher asked "What is this?" - pointing at a picture of a snake, they all responded with 'Tharboot', all harmonious and all correct. By the way - the kids were toddlers, from all cultural backgrounds!! Super Duper I hear you cry!
Even better - When the kid were asked where the "Tharboot" came from - Who made it? The children replied "Allah". Quality!
It's great, and did you know; studies have proven to show that Languages should be taught to chidren at a younger age when their brains are thirsty for knowledge. Not in their teens when their minds are polluted with the likes of Eastenders & Corrie, and all they want to hear is the lastest in hip hop. The best time for children to memorise the Qur'an is also at this age when their hearts are also pure, which brings me to this link:

Beautiful hey? No words can describe this. It's actually the best recitation of the Qur'an I have come across.
May Allah guide us all so He gives us our Book of Deeds in our right hands, and help us to correct previous mistakes; and the strength to repent for our sins. Ameen.
