“When it comes to our children, we need to begin breaking that cycle of doing what needs to be done, simply to have free time and enjoy entertainment. We can not continue teaching our children that life is all about entertainment, amusement, and play. That idea of handling business only being a means of getting to enjoy ourselves has got to change. Look at what it has done to this last generation or two. People work, run businesses and other things, just so they can be successful by enjoying various types of lavish entertainment and free time. What happened to those days of getting things done to move forward and for the sake of progress? We have to put our children back on the track of working hard for the purpose of moving toward a goal other than mere play and enjoyment. Then maybe there will be more hope for their generation, and they won’t end up in the situation many of us find ourselves in, which is running in circles and not accomplishing much of anything at all, and simply striving to survive.”
-Abu Abdillah Abdul Lateef
