There is no doubt children can be the comfort of one’s eyes and a source of happiness. But this only occurs when one’s children are raised correctly by their parents.
When the parents raise their children in the correct way their goodness will extend to their parents, society and all of humanity. However, if this important duty is not fulfilled correctly then a person’s children will adopt bad character and therefore become a curse for their parents and the rest of society. This important duty has been addressed throughout the Holy Quran and the Hadiths of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. For example, chapter 66 At Tahrim, verse 6:
“O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire…”
In addition, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, once advised in a Hadith found in Sunan Abu Dawud, number 2928, that each person is like a shepherd who will be held responsible for their flock. Parents are shepherds of their children and they will be questioned on the Day of Judgment about this important duty. Therefore, this blog series will discuss some aspects of raising a child correctly so that they succeed in this world and the next.
Parents must teach their children the obligatory duties all muslims must fulfil and act on as many established traditions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, as possible. Therefore, parents must strive to gain correct Islamic knowledge so that they can teach their children correctly. They must organise for someone to teach them if they themselves are still learning the duties of Islam. Parents cannot live in ignorance and simply command their children to gain knowledge. It is no secret that a child imitates their parents. If a parent prefers ignorance over gaining knowledge there is a good chance so will their child. Gaining knowledge in order to act on it themselves and to teach their children is an important aspect of raising children in the correct way. This is one of the reasons why obtaining useful knowledge is obligatory on all muslims according to a Hadith found in Sunan Ibn Majah, number 224. Simply put, how can a parent guide their child if they are ignorant? This is like the lost traveller guiding other lost travellers.
