America Wants Un-raised Kids | Western Education and its Impact

The idea of raising kids in the West is terrifying to me. It's absolutely terrifying to me. I don't know how any of you do it. I don't know how you do it. Allahi, I don't know how you do it.

It's it's it's very disturbing to think about raising children in the West. And, you know, the the Fukaha used to have a position. You can go to the lands of the Kufar. You can even marry in the lands of the Kufar, but the advice was always don't have children there. This is very very very foresightful of of Fukaha because because it's it's very difficult.

Children are too influenced by by their peers. And the way the school system is okay. I'm an advocate of homeschooling if you can. If you can do it, without it, hindering the academic level of your children, their their actual education. If as long as they can actually get a good quality education and you can afford to homeschool and you have the capacity to homeschool and so on, then of course I advocate homeschooling.

And I don't worry, especially in the Muslim community, don't worry about the down the the potential downside of homeschooling, which is that the children don't get socialized. Because in the Muslim community, of course, they'll get socialized. If you're active in the in the community, you're active in the Masjid and so on, then the kids will interact with other kids. You know, that's just how how we how we are. So that's not an issue.

The way the education system is, it's really astonishing to me, to be honest. You agree to be away from your children for most of their waking hours. Under the And then and then teachers get to say, you can't expect us to raise your kids. You know? And that's that's okay.

That's a valid argument. I'm here to teach your kids the ABCs or reading, writing, arithmetic, and so on. I'm not here to raise your kids. Okay. But you've got them more than I do.

The state requires me to let you have my children and spend more time with my children than I can spend with my children. So I'm supposed to raise them in the, what, two hours that I have? The three hours that I have with them when they before they sleep? That's when I'm supposed to raise them? Well, who's supposed to raise them then?

The the the school that says that it's not their responsibility to raise them, or the parent who doesn't even have the time and the opportunity to actually raise them because by law, I have to give them over to you for most of their waking hours. You know? And then the other side of that, of course, is the economic system which requires you to work anyway. So you have to put your kids somewhere while you're working because they also you can't pay for you can't pay for childcare. You know?

So it's it's an impossible situation. Wallahi, it's a very, very it's it's it's a very destructive and toxic so society. And again, so called civilization, it's very toxic that you that you have to you you must give up your children, and and like I said, the the the teachers have fair enough the argument, I'm not getting paid to raise your children. Well, then who's gonna do that job? That's a that's a that's a job that requires time and attention, and you have them more than I have them.

Literally, you have them more than I have them. So, no, it's it's a very scary thought to me, the idea of raising children in the West. It's a terrifying thought. Yeah. I I I I'm I'm afraid I can't advise because my advice to myself at that time was to get out of there and not put my children through that, and not put myself through the experience of trying to struggle to raise them properly in that environment.

So I found it myself I found it myself to be an impossible task that the only solution to which was to not do it and to get out and and and try and raise my children elsewhere.
