I visited one of the countries, the poorer countries in Africa and we saw little children learning the Dean of Allah

They were learning the Quran. They were learning the Hadith. They were writing on slates

They were sitting on the sand outside under the trees and they were in the heat on little

you know

little pieces of

cardboard and

they were studying and the Sheikh who was there when I told him you know

Can we perhaps maybe try and get a few Quran that these people can read from we can actually build a place maybe

We can try and organize an arrange for volat 4 sponsors and so on

He said no not at all not at all if we get all of those luxuries we're going to turn away from Allah and I was shocked

I was surprised. I said we're offering these people a roof and air condition perhaps maybe

Electricity and various other they don't want it

I felt so small because he told me you guys spend your lives

preparing

for this life and

We want to spend our lives preparing for the eternal life

And he continued with me and he says you know these children we teach them the Dean and the connection with Allah

Before we teach them about how to earn money

But I think you guys teach your children and you're more keen on money and worldly matters than

Developing their link with Allah

So I told him no maybe you don't know much perhaps you know a lot of us would send our children to the Madrasa
