Tarbiyat-e-aulad Kay sunehri asool
Our children are an amanah from Allah swt. The best gift we can give our Muslim children is a proper upbringing.Islam assigns parents guardianship and primary responsibility for their children in terms of the child’s physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. Parenting in Islam is part of one’s personal accountability and servitude to Allah through one’s virtuous conduct and service to His creation. The foundation for sound parenting is clearly established in the Qur’an and Sunnah. We are given instruction and lessons through the narratives of the noble prophets and believers, such as those of Ibrahim, Yaqub, and Luqman عليهم السلام. Detailed accounts are found in the biography (seerah) and methodology of the final Prophet, Muhammad ﷺ. They embody the importance of teaching the Oneness of Allah (tawhid), sincerity in all affairs concerning worship and worldly matters (ikhlas), good character (akhlaq), etiquette and the appropriate response in all situations (adab) within the Islamic framework of justice and compassion. These parenting goals are emphasized in sacred texts as part of the thorough and complete guide to humanity as to how to prioritize the needs of the child in order to ensure spiritual and physical well-being in this world as well as ultimate success in the Hereafter.
