Allah says in the Quran (16:78) that he brought us out of the wombs of our mothers while we knew absolutely nothing, then He gave us the ability to observe and think. Kids learn by asking questions about Allah and the world around them, including how they were created. The Quran talks about how humans are created in a simple and logical way. For example according to verses 17-18 of the following passage, Allah says that He created us like plants coming out of the earth, then the seeds go back into the earth before coming back to life.

Khalil heard his neighbour say that their other neighbour, Zaltan, dyed his hair because he was getting old. Khalil told his wife that Zaltan died because he became bald. His wife told her sister that their old sultan died because of the cold. The rumour spread like wildfire. People panicked because they didn't know who was going to rule the kingdom after the sudden death of their sultan. This is called the telephone game, where one piece of information changes as it is passed from one person to another until the truth is lost completely.

No one loves us more than our parents. In many places in the Quran (including 4:36, 6:151 and 17:32), Allah says, Worship Me alone, and honour your parents. The reason Allah talks about Himself along with parents is because He is our Creator, and our parents are the reason why we are here. Our relationship with Allah and our parents can never be cut off. Allah is everyone's Lord even if some say that He is not. The same is also true for your parents. If you fire someone who works for you, or unfriend someone on Facebook, or divorce your spouse, then your relationship with them is over. But your parents will always be your parents-you can't fire, unfriend, or divorce them. the challenges they faced ine verses (such as 31:14 and 46:15) focus only on mothers and during pregnancy, childbirth and while nursing. Abdullah ibn Omar once saw a man carrying his mother on his back during hajj. The man asked lbn Omar if he h had paid back the favours his mother had done for him. Ibn Omar said he had not even paid back one of the sharp pains she suffered while giving birth to him. The focus on mothers and their struggles is to remind us of their sacrifices, which we often forget or don't know about.

This is a true story of a young man named Hamzah. He didn't like it when his dad corrected him every time he left the fridge door open, the water tap dripping, or his bedroom lights on. His dad tried to teach him to be 'positive and responsible,' but Hamzah felt that his dad was trying to make things difficult for him. After Hamzah's graduation, he applied for a job ata big company. As he walked into the building for the interview, he saw a sign on the front door that says HELL' and noticed a sticker on the floor with the letter 0. He put it at the end of the sign to complete the word HELLO' He also noticed that the air conditioner was dripping on the stairs so he put the dripping tube back in the right place. In the waiting room, he realized that the electric box was open and a couple of wires were hanging down, so he put them back and closed the box. Finally, when he went inside the meeting room for the interview, they asked him one question: When would you like to start the new job? He was so confused that he thought they were pranking him. They told him that they had put cameras everywhere, and they saw all other candidates pass by without doing anything about the sign, air conditioner, or wires. He was the only candidate who was 'positive and responsible' enough to take action. This is the first time Hamzah was able to appreciate his dad.
