Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a genetic condition where your skin falls off at the slightest touch, leaving your body with painful blisters and sores. The video below is of a boy named Jonny Kennedy who passed away in 2003 at the age of 36. Please be warned the video is disturbing. Jonny was a brave young man and may GOD rest his soul in peace.
Subhanallah! May God make our tests much lighter than this and alhamdullilah for my good health.

How young should you start to train your kids to start practicing the Islamic rituals? Wait a minute Islam has Rituals? Yes I said Rituals that is; Fasting, reading/memorizing the Qur'an, Praying five times a day, giving to the less fortunate, loving the prophets and the most important of all Loving Allah and trusting in him. Thus the word Islam Meaning Submission, Submitting yourself to the will of God.
So how young is too young? Well most Muslims like the age seven. Mainly because there is a hadith that the prophet said to teach your children the prayer when they are seven.Well, some people Mashallah, have started to train their kids even earlier than seven. Simply because kids at a younger age, tend to imitate what parents do, and this is where you want to come in and make it a habit. Now if you don't have time to teach them, we have so many Muslim scholars now a days Mashallah, please put them to work and have them earn some extra money, as we all know our scholars are the least paid in this society today.
The picture above is of a 6 year old named Fatema with her brother who is 4 and they were visiting an orphanage in Kibaha, Tanzania. She has memorized some surahs, has fasted ramadhan and her 4 year old brother has fasted also and has memorized one surah. Mashallah!
This is Fatema's Brother. Mashallah!
Its doable people, this 4 year old just beat many adults who can't even read Al Fatiha. Please visit Fatema's site at Just Giving Fatema-Chandoo (Click the link) for her full story and donate to her charity of choice.
Remember parents have an obligation to teach their kids and not leave it to society. I leave you with this quote from the Quran. O you who believe! Save yourselves and your families from a fire whose fuel is man and stones. (Quran Chapter 66: 6)
Kikundi cha waislamu Tanzania wagoma kushiriki sensa itakayofanyika Mwezi wa nane tarehe 26 mwaka 2012.
Hizi ndio sababu zao:
Nchi imeshafanyiwa sensa mara sita 1948, 1957, 1967, 1978, 1988 na 2002. Majibu yalikuwa kama hivi.
Mwaka Waislamu Wakristo Wapagani
1957(Muda wa Ukoloni) 58% 32% 10%
1967 (Muda wa Uhuru) 31.4% 33.5% 34.3%
1988 (Muda wa Uhuru) Kipengele cha Dini kilitolewa
2002 (Muda wa Uhuru) Kipengele cha Dini kilitolewa
2012 (Miaka 50 ya Uhuru) ?
Kesi inakuja mwaka 1967 miaka kumi baada ya sensa ya wakoloni, wapagani walizidi idadi yao kwa asilimia 24.3 na waislamu walipungua kwa asilimia 26.6, na wakristo waliongezeka kwa asimilia 1.5. Yaani, asimilia 25 ya waislamu waliacha dini zao kuwa Wapagani au ilikuwaje? Madai ni kwamba, haya majibu yalicheleweshwa kutolewa na yalirushwa mitamboni bila wananchi kuelezwa habari hizi. Waislamu, kisa cha mgomo ni kwamba hawaamini hivi vyombo vinavyo fanya hii sensa na wanataka kipengele cha dini kiwekwe au sivyo HAISABIWI MTU!!!. Wanataka kiwekwe kurekebisha makosa yaliyo pita. Habari ndio hiyo.

Well you might want to rethink that decision. The study below tells another story.......
A genetic study has added to evidence that the increase in some mental disorders may be due to men having children later in life. An Icelandic company found the number of genetic mutations in children was directly related to the age of their father when they were conceived.One prominent researcher suggested young men should consider freezing their sperm if they wanted to have a family in later life.The research is published in Nature.
According to Dr Kari Stefansson, of Decode Genetics, who led the research, the results show it is the age of men, rather than women, that is likely to have an effect on the health of the child.
"Society has been very focused on the age of the mother. But apart from [Down's Syndrome] it seems that disorders such as schizophrenia and autism are influenced by the age of the father and not the mother".
Dr Stefansson's team sequenced the DNA of 78 parents and their children.This revealed a direct correlation between the number of mutations or slight alterations to the DNA, of the child and the age of their father.The results indicate that a father aged 20 passes, on average, approximately 25 mutations, while a 40-year-old father passes on about 65. The study suggests that for every year a man delays fatherhood, they risk passing two more mutations on to their child.
What this means in terms of the impact on the health of the child is unclear. But it does back studies that also show fathers are responsible for mutations and that these mutations increase with age.And, for the first time, these results have been quantified and they show that 97% of all mutations passed on to children are from older fathers.
