- Parenthood is an amanah, a responsibility. We are responsible for keeping our children on the Straight Path.
- Guide us on the Straight Path. (Qur'an 1:6).
- A daily prayer we make, seeking help to constantly be on the right path and to guide our family on this path too.
- Save yourselves and your family from the fire. (Hadeeth).
- How can a parent not want to see their children safe? But the love they have causes them to act in a manner detrimental to their children's spiritual development. Showering them with love is not wrong, but fulfilling every whim and fancy of kids, spending lavishly on their needs and spoiling them with our wealth is not love. It is destroying their Spiritual journey and making them impatient, demanding and ungrateful kids who treat their parents as ATM machines. They are quick to fall into depression when they don't get what they want immediately.
- A sign of Qiyamah, is that parents are servants to the children. And that is the reality around us today.
- In Ottoman times, a newborn was deprived of milk for three azans after birth. Only after the third Azan will they be breastfed, and this builds in the newborn stronger lungs (from the crying) and a training to wait & be patient in their lives.
- Do all that is necessary to bring up children with faith, love for Allahﷻ & His Rasulﷺ, and following the commandments of Islam and Sunnah of the Holy Prophetﷺ.
- Our children can be our ticket to a high place in Jannah, and they are also the cause of us falling into Jahannam. So set an example at home, and impart all that you learn to them, so that they walk with you, to Jannah.
