Allah makes you start at the top.

I remember on the first day of class, one of my teachers said something that changed the perspectives of several students:

"Right now, everyone of you has the same grade.

An A+.

100%.

It is up to you to maintain that grade throughout the semester."

The mind shift here is amazing.

You are not starting at the bottom, but you are starting at the top.

When you have a child, it is a pure innocent child that is starting with the Fitra.

At 100% devoted to Allah.

Your job as the parent is to make sure you keep it as close as possible to that 100%.
