Of the kindness of God Almighty to His servants is that He, Glory be to Him, does not take anything from them except and compensate them, so that alleviates their pain from what he took, and if his servant suffers a calamity, he will make up for him better than it. What happened to a person, as God Almighty said: “Rather, the patient pays their reward without reckoning, that is, he is not considered a king and he does not think of it. Or want, or miss a wanted, or a fearful fear.

And if it was a worldly one, his Lord, may He be glorified, would compensate him, so that he would be relieved of the pain of that afflicted person, by what would replace the lost, even in the slightest degree of perfection.

Because his lordship, glory be to Him, necessitates, for his grace and generosity, to do what is suitable for his educators as dictated by his wisdom and chosen by his will, not as the slave wants.

The slave does not know what will fix his condition sooner or later.

And among that is what we are experiencing these days in the new school year with this sweeping, despicable epidemic that is still hanging over the worshipers, infiltrating them, dividing their gathering, and ravaging their economy.

It has paralyzed the middle of the second school year of last year, and is still expanding to the first semester of this year, and we do not know after that what will happen, and we ask God for safety and wellness.

It was God's kindness to our sons and daughters in their disconnection from schools and direct contact with education, that the visual and audio technology with which they achieved success in the past year, and with which they may achieve another success this year, and we ask God to accelerate relief.

This technology played the role of the school in the presence of spacious classes, and professors visible through electronic screens, so students and students were drawn from their curricula prepared for them in their various stages and specializations, they obtained the knowledge that they used to take in classes through their own screens in their homes, as if they were on private study chairs. There was no big difference in receiving with these technical means, rather it was sufficient to make amends for the defect of school dropout, so it was a mercy from God Almighty for our children, and mercy for the parents and those working in the field of education, including officials and administrators. He lost the first part of education, which is the behavioral education that students quote from their teachers and educators in schools, which are by simulations, looks and special educational transactions that affect them, for they are not compensated for through screens.

This blessing requires the gratitude of God Almighty first, who guided his servants to create this useful technology, and thanking our government represented by the leadership and education men, which provided a sophisticated technical infrastructure in anticipation of such disasters.

It also requires good use of what is beneficial, as it was used in redressing the defect of direct education, and enabled to continue work and attend meetings and hold seminars, conferences, lessons and sermons, which usually require attendance that may be arduous, in addition to a lot of expenses, and the waste of many hours in order to prepare such It all.

And while we are still in the cycle of this epidemic, and the school year, school and university has renewed, we must make this technology more beneficial for our sons and daughters to acquire useful knowledge, by helping them to learn beneficial and make the most of their academic stages, so we prepare the appropriate atmosphere for them away from the clamor, and stand on their heads In follow-up to them in receiving as the teacher does in the classroom, if our children do not stand with them while they are absent from the school’s supervision, then they will avoid follow-up and activity.

Because of their love of fun and lack of sense of responsibility.

And we, as parents and mothers, have to follow their duties with them and with their teachers, so that there is no negligence on their part, nor does there be any failure of teachers, because this situation requires everyone to join hands to achieve success in distance education, the responsibility is shared, and the family's responsibility may be parallel. For both school responsibility.

By God, we ask to accelerate relief for His servants, lift the epidemic, and restore health to His blessings and generosity.
