Research Project

This blog is presently being used to conduct research on certain aspects of Religion and Health. These aspects will hopefully be better defined as the research proceeds further. It has been suggested that we gather as much materials as possible on Psychosis and Mysticism, preferably by experts in the field, not people who write stuff based on their beliefs, on religious beliefs (which are often not founded or proved) or on their subjective experience. It has also been suggested that we also take into account psychiatric, sociological, philosophical as well as psychological elements in this research. We would like to write a paper following international professional guidelines and take all precautions in referencing etc.

Looking forward to finding an interesting evolution of posts and comments on our blog in way of this proposed research.

Selected Extracts - Tarbiyyat Medical - Jan-Mar 2010

http://www.tarbiyyat.org/TarbMedical/January_March2010_TarbMedical.pdf

It is reported from Ibn Abbas that
the Prophet
salAllahoalaihiwasallam called
Azan in the right ear of al-Hasan
(may Allah be pleased with him) and
Iqamah in his left ear. [al-Baihaqi]
Upon birth of an infant, call Azaan in the
right ear and Takbeer in the left ear.
1st of the 26 points of Tarbiyyat e Aulad by Hazrat
Musleh Mauood raziAllahoanho.

Hazrat Khalifatul Masih II (may Allah be
pleased with him) states in Minhajutalibeen:
“No wonder the Holy Prophet, on whom be
peace and blessings, has said: Every child is
born true to nature. It is his parents who
make of him a Jew or a Christian or a
Magian. It is true also that it is his parents
who turn him into a Muslim or a Hindu. The
Hadith does not mean that when the child has
grown up, his parents take him to a church to
have him baptised as a Christian. The
meaning of the Hadith is that a child as a
child is at the mercy of his parents. He
absorbs what he hears them say and does
what he sees them do. The child is a great
imitator. If the parents do not set before him a
proper model to copy, he will go elsewhere to
find a model which he can copy. Some
liberals think that it is best to leave the
children alone. Even Ahmadis say it and say
that when they grow up, they will discover
Ahmadiyyat themselves. But what I say is
that this may be true if no other sound
reaches the ears of the child nor any sight his
eyes. But this is not true. All sorts of sounds
are impinging on the ears of the child. All the
time the child is learning. If angels do not
communicate with the child, then it is certain
that Satan will become his friend and give
him his company. If good things do not reach
the child's ears, bad things certainly will. Let
Ahmadi parents take note. If you want
your children to grow into good adults,
then use your home as a kind of
segregation camp. Keep children away
from everything except good influences.
This is the only way to safeguard the
future generations”.

Hazrat Khalifatul Masih III (may Allah have mercy upon him) said:
The foundation of piety can only be established in childhood, because it is only in childhood that all habits develop……You should always and constantly be aware that you are the children of the Holy Prophet Muhammad salAllahoalaihiwasallam.
(Mash’ale Rah Vol 4)

***
Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V ayyadahullahota’ala said at the Canadian Jalsa Salana 25th June 2005:
Children have spent most of their time with their mothers which is why mothers have more influence on their children……According to one large research study a fact that came to the fore was that even 15 or 16 year old boys took more influence from their mothers. They tended to follow what they said and treated them as their confidants……When children become older, their fathers don’t stop them from gravitating into bad habits and hardly pay any attention to them resulting in them being lost……Even in this age (stage) children of mothers who have been taking care of them remain under the influence of their mothers. Thus, mothers are more responsible for the tarbiyyat of their children and therefore should take care of them well. By showing them the difference between good and bad and by making them aware of religious teachings they should take care of them.
