| Simple ways to please Allah | TV or Computer |
No it's not a radical idea, believe me it's not. TV itself is not bad. It is the programming which is by and large bad. In fact, up to 73% of parents would like to limit their children's TV. Children on an average watch more than 27 hours of TV a week exposing themselves to hundreds of unnecessary violence and sex at home each and every week!! Think about that.Come on, friends, surely we can live without all these trash, besides, they are unIslamic.
Face it, the IT or Information Technology is beginning to conquer the world. Now we do not want to be left behind, do we. The Cyber World is so vast that it has so much things to offer and for us to explore. For those who hasn't try it, give it shot, I can guarantee that you'll enjoy it. Now there are quite a number of computer programmes available for Muslims which complements the ever-growing number of educational and entertainment products. A recent study has shown that more children has abandon their tv set to computer. Owning a computer nowadays is not considered a luxury anymore, Insyaalah, one can get a set in a very affordable price.Check out the local market for one.
TV is only a one way communication, passive but not with computer.Web is interactive and more informative.Switch to Web or at least spend more time with it. Pluging in also means you can cut down the cost of buying newspapers as you can get the information online, hence, hinder the usage of paper thus discouraging deforestaion...Greener World, friends.
There are a lot of organizations out there which are developing Islamic programs for Muslim children on videos and computers. The world is not about to abandon TV. This is justab out stating a healthier and better alternative to the tube. We cannot let millions of TV sets, thousands of satellites and TV stations broadcast an unIslamic way of life, ideals, and images as the most charmful product of this civilization. Islam and Muslims have a responsibility to produce and promote a God-conscious way of life, ideals and images using all means of communications possible. You can help Islamic productions by purchasing them, by promoting them, by investing in them. By supporting the development of Islamic media organizations, we are in fact ensuring that succeeding generations remain connected to Islam
Go out and play! After all you're a kid anyway, isn't that what you know best...get yourself dirty and exausted, never mind the occasional bruises, hey, people don't say "No pain No Gain" for nothing. Be active and burn all the fat away. Do you know that too much of TV can stiffles your ability to express ideas logically. A healthy and physically fit child will be able to achieve more in life than otherwise. That's why the Prophet, peace be upon him, encouraged sports and himself participated in them.
It's time to pack your hiking bag and drag your parents as well as other siblings to do some hiking. This is a good alternatives of recreation for your family and you. Explore new places and witness the richness of flora and fauna. Getting in touch with nature can make you see the wonders of Allah and His Power. It is also a good reason for your family to spend some time with each other.
Rather than seating on the couch all day long doing nothing, you might want to do a little work for a change. Volunteer youself to be a part of any of your local charities. Perhaps oyu might be able to learn a thing or two there. Besides, it is a great way to meet new friends!! Well friends, what
do you think? Make a choice for a better future....
