About Us
“We are all very unique and distinct, all beautifully fashioned and shape by none other than our Creator. While it is stated in the Qur’an that it is easy for Allah to bring man back to life after death, peoples’ fingerprints are particularly emphasized: “Yes, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers.” (Qur’an, 75:4) Modern science did not discover the meaning of this until the late 1800s when a Psychologist by the name of Sir Francis Galton developed the first system for classifying and identifying fingerprints discovering that everyone including identical twins have unique fingerprints.
It is documented that Abu Huraira reported that Allah’s Messenger (saw) as saying: “No babe is born but upon Fitra. It is his parents who make him a Jew or a Christian or a Polytheist. A person said: Allah’s Messenger, what is your opinion if they were to die before that (before reaching the age of adolescence when they can distinguish between right and wrong)? He said: It is Allah alone Who knows what they would be doing. Sahih Muslim, The Book of Destiny (Kitab-ul-Qadr), 6426)”
As such, we are all born with an innate inclination of tawhid (Oneness), which is encapsulated in our fitra along with compassion, intelligence, ihsan and all other attributes that embody what it is to be human. As such, newborns come in to the world and into their family equipped with certain biological and psychological attributes, which in my opinion can be referred to as a psychological fingerprint. Biological fingerprints attain their final shape before birth and remain the same for a lifetime unless a permanent scar appears. However the psychological fingerprint is vague in nature and lacks definition and predictability.
As the child grows into adulthood the characteristics of the fingerprint become more clearly distinguishable. The newborn will be exposed to billions of stimuli from the family experience that will be used to develop their unique psychological fingerprint. Within this family experience and stimuli selection process, the newborn will not only experience the nurturing care of parents, but will also be flooded with stimuli reflecting the family’s way of life, which will be intertwined with one’s culture, religion, and expectations of the family.
The child quickly begins to select what information he/she perceives from the stimuli that will allow him or her to best reach the goal of finding one’s place in the family and ensuring that his/her needs are met. The child is not only deciding on what stimuli to pay attention to in relation to what seems right for his/her fingerprint, but he/she is also beginning to create a consistent problem solving strategy. The child will use this problem solving strategy, to deal with his/her social relationships (family), work (career), and intimate relationships.
Research notes that by the age of seven the child has developed an internal blueprint or fingerprint which will allow them to navigate throughout life. As such, this manual, by the will of Allah swt is designed to assist you in developing your child’s character and identity as a Muslim so that he/she will be able to navigate him/herself in the system of the world.The best gift to a child by his parents is his proper upbringing. But it can be confusing and daunting with so many theories of good parenting practice to follow along with the ever changing social milieu.”
Our goal is to touch the heart of every child until the day of judgement and to assist parents/caregivers instill the love of Allah (swt), along with the morals and etiquettes needed to be an upright Muslim and by default citizen (Insha’Allah).
We pray that these books bring us all closer together in this world and in the hereafter. Our niyyah is that the reward be collective and be given to every human with an ounce of iman. May Allah (swt) reward you for your concerted effort in raising your children on the path of Islam and we all be granted Jannah with no reckoning. Ameen
