Summer Safety

With the onset of the summer season, and the annual school holidays on our doorstep, children across the country are overjoyed and are eagerly awaiting the hours of fun they will enjoy in the sun.

In this regard, it is of vital importance for every parent to adhere to certain guidelines that will ensure the Deeni and physical safety of their children during this period. It takes just a few moments of carelessness to cause a lifetime of regret and remorse, so we should all be vigilant and should not take our children’s wellbeing for granted. With this in mind, a few basic guidelines have been outlined below:

Deeni Safety Guidelines:

1. Ensure that your children perform all their salaah on time. If they are big boys, then ensure that they perform their salaah in the masjid with jamaat.

2. Though the children are on holiday, make them set aside some time daily for recitation of the Quraan Majeed, zikr, etc.

3. If they have access to any devices, ensure that there is complete supervision. Do not allow them to engage in haraam (communicating with the opposite gender, listening to music, watching haraam movies or clips on YouTube, TikTok, etc.).

4. Monitor and scrutinize their circle of friends, and ensure that they keep good company with good children that will be a positive influence in their lives.

5. In order to strengthen their imaan in the midst of the fitnahs that erupt in the holidays, take them for some Deeni programme. Girls can be taken for the weekly ta’leem, while boys can be taken for any programme or bayaan in the masjid.

6. Though the children are on holiday, ensure that their dressing is still appropriate. Just because it is the holidays, it does not mean that their dressing should become bereft of hayaa, or resemble the fashion of the disbelievers, etc.

7. Ensure that boys and girls who are growing and discerning do not mix and play with one another. Rather, the males and females should remain separate.

Physical Safety Guidelines:

8. Know the whereabouts of your children at all times (e.g. if they visit a friend’s house to play), and try to keep them under adult supervision. If constant supervision is not possible, at least get someone to check on them from time to time.

9. If your children go to another person’s home, or someone else’s children come to your home, make it a habit to phone and inform of the children’s arrival. This will assist in keeping them safe and will also keep the parent’s mind at ease.

10 Discourage children from playing on the street. Let them play in the yard instead. In this way, they will not be run over by a car, mugged by thieves, etc.

11. Do not allow the children to play with dangerous items e.g. lighters, matches, knives, etc.

12. If they will be in the sun for a prolonged period, apply sunblock to their skin so that they are protected from sunburn.

13. Children swimming must be supervised by an adult at all times.

14. Keep floatation devices in and around the pool (pool noodles, etc). If a child falls into the pool by accident, or begins to flounder in the water, he will be able to grab onto the device and save himself from drowning.

15. Keep a net on the pool when not in use. If there is a fence around the pool, keep it locked. After using the pool, ensure that the net is placed over the pool again.

16. Teach and educate your children regarding the dangers of drowning. Explain to them that even an experienced swimmer can suffer a sudden cramp that can cause him to drown. Hence, they should be careful at all times and should immediately exit the water if they feel unwell.

 17. Keep antihistamine medication or other allergy medication on hand, in case your child or any other child is stung by a bee etc. and suffers an allergic reaction.

MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL – together with taking all precautions, always make du‘aa to Allah Ta‘ala to keep your children safe – in body and in soul.

Islamic Essentials for Ladies

🌸 Sacred Steps for Radiant Hearts 🌸 A Twice-Weekly Islamic Learning Program for Women 🕙 Mondays & Thursdays | 10:00am – 1:30pm --- A Pathway to Knowledge, A Journey of the Heart Daar Ibn Umar warmly invites all ladies, homeschooled teenagers, and adult learners to join our new twice-weekly learning program: This program is designed to offer foundational Islamic knowledge in a nurturing, welcoming environment. Whether you’re starting from the beginning or rekindling your connection with sacred learning, this course will guide you step by step — with sincerity, structure, and spiritual purpose. --- 📚 What You Will Study 1. Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence) Learn the essential rulings of purification, prayer, fasting, and more using the classical Hanafi text Nūr al-ʾĪḍāḥ and its Urdu/English commentary Nūr al-Iṣbāḥ by Moulana Sayyid Muhammad Mia Saheb. This text is rooted in the teachings of Imām Abū Ḥanīfah and his leading students. As Imām Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal said: “If there is agreement between Abū Ḥanīfah, Abū Yūsuf, and Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan on a matter, then one should not pay attention to anyone who disagrees with them.” These lessons provide both clarity and confidence in daily practice, backed by centuries of scholarship. 2. Lessons from the Lives of the Prophets Based on Stories of the Prophets by Maulana Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi, this subject draws from the Qur’an and recounts the inspiring missions of fourteen great Prophets. It offers vivid portrayals, reflective insights, and moral guidance that resonate with the spiritual challenges we face today. This is not only a book of stories — but a roadmap of prophetic wisdom for modern life. 3. Sarf (Arabic Morphology) Using Fundamentals of Classical Arabic, students will gradually learn how Arabic words are formed and how verbs are conjugated. This book simplifies the deep science of Arabic grammar into understandable principles, with visual tables and clear explanations — making it ideal for beginners and long-term learners alike. 4. Hadith Provisions for the Seekers is a collection of 327 hadiths compiled by Shaykh ‘Ashiq Ilahi al-Bulandshehri, selected from the renowned Mishkāt al-Maṣābīḥ. These narrations offer timeless prophetic guidance and deeply moving examples of the Messenger’s ﷺ wisdom, eloquence, and compassion. This is the ideal hadith primer taught in many traditional madrasahs around the world. 5. Arabic Basics Al-Tareeqa al-‘Asriyya serves as our textbook for conversational Arabic. With dialogues entirely in Arabic and English explanations, this book has evolved over decades of teaching experience to help English-speaking students gain confidence in Arabic quickly and naturally. 6. Qur’an Tarjuma & Tafseer Connect directly with the Words of Allah through structured translation sessions and guided tafseer of selected surahs. The Qur’an is not merely for recitation in times of hardship — it is the *miraculous, final message of Allah, revealed to the last and greatest of Prophets ﷺ. It is a solution, a mercy, and a guide for every moment in life. This part of the course helps you reflect deeply, understand clearly, and live meaningfully with the Qur’an. --- 💬 Why Join? In a world filled with distractions, confusion, and changing values, we believe every woman deserves access to sound, structured Islamic knowledge — knowledge that is relevant, timeless, and deeply nourishing to the soul. This course is perfect for: * Women seeking to reconnect with Islamic learning * Homeschooling mothers and teenagers * Beginners with no Arabic background * Sisters looking to study in a calm, female-only space You will not only gain knowledge — you’ll grow in companionship, discipline, and connection to Allah. --- ✨ Take the First Step As the Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever treads a path seeking knowledge, Allah will make easy for them the path to Jannah.” (Hadith) 📩 To register or ask questions, contact us today: 📱 0491 191 952 📧 info@diu.org.au Online Enrolment https://form.jotform.com/251672145860862
