Mouz, if someone wants to attack our country, should we say it's haram or halal?
1. Aloula Radio's 'From Today, Warn Them' is a children's civic education segment broadcast on March 12, 2026, hosted by Dr. Abdullah Moussa.
2. The host, Dr. Abdullah Moussa, leads a discussion with four student participants identified by name: Hamdan, Hur, Moza, and Aisha.
3. The episode's purpose is to teach Emirati children ten duties towards their homeland, ranging from respecting laws to defending the national reputation.
4. The opening segment asks student Hamdan whether attacking the UAE is haram, and the host reframes verbal criticism as a challenge to be met with achievements, citing the UAE's 'biggest port in the world' as an example of what to cite in response.
5. The host says the UAE's approach to critics is to invite them to 'compete for good' rather than to retaliate, describing the country as 'a role model for the world.'
6. A segment on Quranic guidance references the verse 'do not be corrupted on earth after its reformation,' using the example of a school classroom where damaged equipment harms students who paid for it.
7. The segment references Gaza as a live example of what happens when people choose destruction over building, contrasting it with the UAE's commitment to development.
8. Students are taught that the homeland has four layers: the land you were raised on, the history you carry, the future you will build, and sacrifice as a form of preparation.
9. Ten civic duties are enumerated by students with prompting: respecting laws, participating positively in society, preserving property, conserving electricity and water, fighting corruption, respecting the environment, supporting the national economy, preserving national unity, defending the nation's reputation, and investing in education.
10. The host defines 'national symbols' as Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Sheikh Hamdan, and other officials, and calls them a 'red line' that citizens must not criticise publicly.
11. A hadith is cited: 'whoever insulted the Sultan of Allah in the land, Allah has insulted him,' with the host explaining this brings divine punishment in both this world and the afterlife.
12. The host pairs the hadith with the Quranic verse commanding obedience to Allah, the Messenger, and those in authority, framing civic obedience as a religious duty.
13. The palm tree metaphor is used to describe Emirati character: like a palm tree that is struck for its fruit but does not retaliate, Emiratis respond to criticism with generosity and moral teaching.
14. Students are told that complaints about the UAE must be brought privately to responsible officials, never aired on social media, because outside observers will use public criticism to attack the country.
15. The host warns that a single person revealing state secrets or spreading rumours on social media could harm the country's reputation and security.
16. The UAE is described as a small but militarily strong country that 'built generations, taught them military skills, taught them the manufacture of men,' and is respected globally despite its size.
17. Students are encouraged to write suggestions for developing the country, with the host saying that even childhood ideas submitted to government suggestion boxes can have an impact.
18. The program is structured as a Socratic classroom dialogue, with the host asking leading questions and students providing answers that are corrected and expanded.
19. The target audience is Emirati children and families seeking civic education grounded in Islamic values and UAE national identity.
20. Listeners outside the UAE or those seeking critical analysis of governance or social issues will find the content narrowly aligned with official UAE civic messaging.
