An interesting poem i came across today.

Its called Children by Kalil Gibran

Quote:

Your children are not your children.

They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,

And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts.

For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,

For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.

For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.

Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;

For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

Adoption is SUCH a boring topic to discuss, guys!

If people wanna do it, then mash'Allah well done to them. If they don't wanna do it, then leave it at that.

The whole thing about surnames is pointless and tedious.

I heard that you're called by your MOTHER'S name
because prophet isa as does not have a father technically speaking

Are there any muslim adoption agencies out there? (last time I googled, I found nothing. Nada. Zilch.)

How have they dealt with the equal opps legislation that went in a couple of years ago?

does it matter?

knowing the answer to that question makes no difference.

why worry (not literally) about such questions?

its is like when the sahabi asked the prophet when will the hour come and the prophet replied, forget about the hour, tell me, what have you prepared for it.

I think there's a hadith that mentions specifically that Prophet Jesus (as) WILL be questioned on the Day of Judgement, about whether he (as) told people to worship him or not. To which he (as), of course, will answer 'no'.

It's not really related, but I thought I'd just say.

As well as being asked if he told people that he was the son of God.

doesn't that equal to no further questions?

No. I think the hadith is to illustrate that EVERYONE will be questioned about EVERYTHING. Allah (swt) of course KNOWS that Jesus (as) didn't tell people to worship him (as), or that (he) was the Son of God.

Its to show that EVEN the prophets will be asked on the Day of Judgement. I.E. WE shouldn't feel that any deed we do is too small to be asked of us.
