Londono šiaurės vakarinėje dalyje, Pinner vietovėje, stovinti didžiulė mokykla, skirta mokytis Anglijos piliečiams. Pravėrę vieno iš angliškos mokyklos pastato duris – nustebsite... Čia kiekvieną šeštadienį girdisi lietuviška kalba – aiški ir daininga, rami ir turtinga. Ir jau treti metai mokyklos koridoriais skuba tėvai vedini įvairaus amžiaus vaikais. Su dideliu tikėjimu ir pagarba vaikams jie ateina galvodami apie ateitį. Giliau suprasti lietuvių kalbą, tradicijas ir papročius, žinoti savo šalies istoriją ir gėrėtis gamta – tai turtas, kurio nenupirksi už jokius pasaulio pinigus. Jie rūpinasi, kad vaikams, įsisukusiems į naujausių įvykių ir rūpesčių verpetą Anglijoje, būtų lengviau nepamiršti tautos šaknų, kad natūraliau įaugtų į tautos kultūrinę terpę, kad susidraugautų ir norėtų kalbėti lietuviškai. Daugeliui mokinių, seniau gyvenančių ir besimokančių angliškose mokyklose, tėvų kalba tampa truputį‚ "murzinesnė“. Daugeliui tenka lietuvių kalbą iš naujo atrasti, mokytis vos ne kaip antrąją kalbą. O patiems mažiausiems ji tokia sunki ir nesuprantama. Juk su močiutės pasakomis, su motinos lopšine, visu kūrybiniu tautos paveldu ji ateina į mažo vaiko širdį. Visada džiugu girdėti pradedančius kalbėti trumpais sakiniais, reiškiančius savo mintis, nebijančius kalbėti ir suklysti. Puikiai suprantame, kad savo pavyzdžiu ir taisyklinga vartosena taisome vaikų kalbą. Skatindami bendrauti su kitais prisimename, kad kalbos mokomės veikdami, turtindami savo mokėjimus ir gebėjimus. Tai trunka ne vienerius metus. Didelė atsakomybė tenka ne tik mokytojams, mokyklos vadovams, bet ir mokinių tėvams. Tame ugdymo procese dalyvauja kiekvienas, nuo mažiausio iki seniausio, tiek šeimoje, tiek bendraamžių, bei bendraminčių rate: kultūrinė raiška priklauso nuo mūsų pačių. Gal todėl ir skuba šeštadieninėn mokyklėlėn mokyklos vadovai su didžiulėmis dėžėmis mokomosios medžiagos, priemonių darbui, žaislų, kad susirinkę Lietuvos vaikai galėtų keliauti į dar iki galo nepažintą, bet savą ir mylimą tėvų kraštą. Mokinių ištarti žodžiai: “mes labai laukiame kitų mokslo metų“, verčia negalvoti apie nelengvas lietuviškos mokyklėlės gyvavimo sąlygas. Mes kuriame planus ateičiai. Mūsų daug ir mes žinome, kad... „ne žemės derlingumu, ne drabužių skirtingumu, ne šalies gražumu, ne miestų ir pilių tvirtumu gyvuoja tautos, bet daugiausia išlaikydamos ir vartodamos savo kalbą, kuri didina ir išlaiko bendrumą, santaiką ir brolišką meilę"... Mikalojus Daukša

What is the Fitrah? When a child is born it has with it a natural belief in God. This natural belief is called in Arabic the “Fitrah”.[1] If the child were left alone it would grow up aware of God in His oneness, but all children are affected by the pressures of their environment whether directly or indirectly. The Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, reported that God said, “I created My servants in the right religion but the devils made them go astray.”[2] The Prophet also said, “Each child is born in a state of “Fitrah”, but his parents make him a Jew or a Christian. It is like the way an animal gives birth to a normal offspring. Have you noticed any (young animal) born mutilated before you mutilate them?”[3] So, just as the child’s body submits to the physical laws which God has put in nature, its soul also submits naturally to the fact that God is its Lord and Creator. But its parents try to make it follow their own way and the child is not strong enough in the early stages of its life to resist or oppose its parents. The religion which the child follows at this stage is one of custom and upbringing and God does not hold it to account or punish it for this religion. When the child matures in youth and clear proofs of the falsehood of his religion are brought to him, the adult must now follow the religion of knowledge and reason.”[4]At this point the devils try their best to encourage him to stay as he is or to go further astray. Evils are made pleasing to him and he must now live in the midst of a struggle between his Fitrah and his desires in order to find the right road. If he chooses his Fitrah, God will help him overcome his desires even though it may take most of his life to escape, for many people enter Islam in their old age although most tend to do so before that. Because of all these powerful forces fighting against the Fitrah God chose certain righteous men and revealed to them clearly the right path in life. “I created My servants in the right religion but the devils made them go astray.” Thus, it is man’s duty to follow the way of the prophets since it is the only way which is truly in harmony with his nature. He should also be very careful not to do things simply because his parents and their parents did it, especially if knowledge reaches him that these practices are wrong. If he does not follow the truth, he will be like those misguided people about whom God says in the Quran: “If they are told to follow what God has revealed, they say: ‘No, we will continue to follow what we found our forefathers doing!’ Even though their forefathers did not comprehend anything nor were they rightly guided.” (Quran 2:170) God forbids us from obeying our parents if what they want us to do is against the way of the prophets. He said, in the Quran, “We advise man to be good to his parents, but if they try to make you do in My name what you know to be false, do not obey them.” (Quran 29:8) Born Muslim Those who are fortunate to be born in Muslim families must be aware that all such “Muslims” are not automatically guaranteed paradise, because the Prophet warned that a large part of the Muslim nation would follow the Jews and Christians so closely that if they entered the den of a lizard, Muslims would climb in after them as well.[5] He also said that before the Last Day some people would actually worship idols.[6] . Today, there are Muslims all around the world praying to the dead, building tombs and masjids over graves and even performing rites of worship around them. There are even some who claim to be Muslim and worship Ali as God. Some have turned the Quran into a good luck charm which they hang on chains around their necks, in their cars or on key chains etc. Therefore, those born into such a Muslim world who blindly follow whatever their parents did or believed, have to stop and think whether they are simply a Muslim by chance or a Muslim by choice, whether Islam is what their parents, tribe, country, or nation did or does, or what the Quran teaches and what the Prophet and his companions did. Every child of Adam is a sinner... Al Fitrah is an organisation built on the concept of retaining the natural goodness that was instilled in us all. Every child of Adam is a sinner, but the best of sinners is the one who repents. This concept of returning back to goodness through our actions is one that Al Fitrah wishes to instill in us all through benefitting the self, the family and lastly the society. The Self Al Fitrah is an academy which has delivered hundreds of courses, seminars, lectures and halaqaat with the aims of empowering our youth with sound authentic knowledge of Islam from the pious predecessors who understood it best. The Family Al Fitrah is a family orientated organisation which plans family day trips, youth camping expeditions and sister’s outings to ensure the whole family benefits from the deen that is taught in these outings. The Society The projects Al Fitrah delivers every single year are countless; this includes fundraising for various relief charities such as Muslim Aid, Interpal, Islamic Help and others, to support projects such as Orphans and Widows projects to name a few. We have also been awarded for the great work we have done for disaster appeals like the Pakistan earthquake.
