I dedicate to you these phrases, which, though tiny in size, massive in essence:

To make mistake is not an issue, no matter how big your mistake is;

To admit mistake and accept advice may not be privilege.

What is really essential is not to commit the same mistake again, never!

To be loathed by others while having self confidence and self esteem is much easier than being cherished by others while you loathe and distrust yourself

Whatever your past mistakes are, do not allow them to overwhelm you, since they will turn your present into hell, and your future into ruins. You may just review them to gain momentum on the way of right and correctness

If you consider all people angels, your dreams may collapse

However, if you over trust them, you may one day repent your naivety

Numerous are the illusions which destroy us before we get to know those who loved us and those who fooled us

Be statuesque in your humbleness, humble in your glory

That is a trait of the great

When you have a heart as delicate as a rose;

A will as stubborn as steel;

A hand as open as the sea;

A mind as vast as the sky,

You are one of those who create the glory

Three young men, less than ten years old, going out of a store while arming; I have raised my hands as a kind of surrendering, but recognized that they are untrue weapons. This situation happened to me in front of a shop, near a residential area.

Since then, some questions crossed my mind: What makes children spending their savings to buy game weapons, perhaps for several days, and letting delicious desserts? Why children are going without accompanying? What is parents’ way of acting with such games? In addition to many questions that I can not find answer.

If we searched a child life, we will find that it is held on to television, and video games, etc.. Why?

Because a father, on one hand, spends most of the day at work then come back seeking for rest and sleeping till evening, then goes with friends, forgetting the responsibilities towards family and raising children. On the other hand, mother keeps not missing any social occasion, in addition to job requirements for working mothers.

I urge all of you to remember Prophet Muhammad’s message says that every one should supervise his family.

If we make a fast analysis of content and quality of a large number of children’s programs, we will find that most of them inciting violence. Animated series full of destruction, murder and bloodshed, and even ones for sports like football, incite violence.

Any one may see such amazing things when watching a children channel for one hour. It is obviously inciting violence, murder, and destruction, in addition to video games that became most interested in killing, destruction, and guerrilla war. For these reasons, we should not become surprised of children violence.

I invite you all to devote some time for your children to supervise programs they watch. When buying games, you should focus on ones that develop child’s mind and contribute to build character in the proper form, and let games that develop hatred and violence.

Finally, I wish you all a life free from violence. May Allah grant us all success!
