Day 1 Ramadan daily reminder

*Invest in your children Now!!!*
Assalamu alaikum warahmatullah, dear parents.
Every responsible parents thinks about their children's future and most times we run to the bank to open children account for them. It's good and may Allah SWT reward you for that.
But, why don't you invest rather than savings? Our currency is depreciating in times of value due to constant inflation for example what a thousand will buy in the next five years three thousand might not really buy.
But imagine you purchase a plot of land or build a rented apartment ( any other investments) in your children's name and the money made goes to them for the next ten to fifteen years how much do you think will be in their account and the property will still be there for them to continue managing?
We should emulate the Fulani economic system. ( Once a child is born a chicken, goat or a cow will be given to that child and before that child reaches the age of seven- ten- seventeen he or she will be managing flocks of cows)
_Is not about hard work but smart work!_
_Is not about knowledge but_ _wisdom_ .
A sincere advise from Abu- Khair. Invest in your children Now!!!
Extracted from Shiekh Nurudden Lemu during a seminar @ IET.
May Allah SWT bless and guide us all.

Assalamu alaikum warahmatullah
In line of building ourselves read the following piece 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Counseling is just a personal dialogue between someone with a challenge, willing to share her challenge with someone willing to hear, capable of proffering solutions.
It is expected the client do more of talking than you.
We are to listen more than we talk
*Listening skills alone makes your client relief!*
In the process of listening we shouldn't interupts the client nor show a non listening attitude like pressing phones or discussing with another. Undivided attention is highly needed! Is better you don't counsel than to exhibit such attitude.
Statements that are encourage are;
A) ok , Alright, tell me more, interesting, Hmm, sorry about that.
This shows you are following her conversation because some clients can be boring or inability to express themselves. ( This motivation from you?
B) what about this and that, who was that, how are you coping with such, honestly you are even strong, you must be intelligent then ( bro Abdulrahman used such words) and she's beautiful ( a sis too used that) bringing out their qualities.
Statements not encouraged Are;
1. Inna lillahi wa Inna lillahi rajiun, Kai! Showing remorseful makes a small challenge looks very big, ( internalised your exclamations) don't cry or panic!
2. Avoid using *why* while asking questions, it's judgemental.
3. Avoid *blame game*, your client is only opening up to you for help and not for condemning, do not interogate like a police officer!
For example, why did you beat her? Why didn't you do so and so?
4. Avoid statement that makes one to loose hope !
*Questions to know the mental health state of your clients*
This help you to know the effects of the challenge and damage on them.
_Expected questions_
If it happens your clients is undergoing these symptoms and you are asking it makes them feel relax with you and respect your expertise. There will be high tendacy of believing your counsels.
1. How are you feeling presently?
2. Do you isolate yourself from people? ( Wanting to be Alone?
3. Do you feel severe headache? ( One sided headache, or blackhead)
4. Do you get angry easily, over little things that doesn't matter?
5. Do you sleep well or restless?
6. Have you ever thought of commiting su***de? ( Think of dying and rest)
7. Do have thoughts of *why me God?*
8. How is your performance in school or office?
Sometimes your client just need someone to talk too and they will be fine!
*Ask many relevant questions before rushing to proffer solutions*
Alhamdulillah!
Assure them of confidentiality during the process!
