PARENTS, CHILDREN AND WAYS TO RAISE CHILDREN

[RendezVous]

The Islamic Way to Raise the Children

 

(Friday speech was delivered by Imam Mohamed Baianonie at Islamic Center of Raleigh, N.C,USA)

 

Allah (S.W.T.) has entrusted parents with their children. Parents bear the responsibility to raise their children in the Islamic way. If they do that they will be blessed in this life and in the Hereafter, and if they don't, they will get bad result during their life and in the Hereafter.

 

Imams Bukhari and Muslim reported that the prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) said, "All of you are heads of a group and all of you are responsible for your groups; the ruler is the head of state and he is responsible for his people, the man is head of his family and responsible for his family, the woman is the head in her husband's house and she is responsible for the house. In short all of you are heads and responsible for your group."

 

The prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) did not excuse any one from responsibility that Allah has put on every individual to build the Islamic society: the ruler is responsible: the man and woman are responsible.... All within their capabilities, domains, and authorities,

 

and the loss of Islam from our Muslim ummah these days is nothing but a result of the neglect of responsibility...

 

Today, I want to talk about responsibility of men and women, fathers and mothers. This common responsibility, between the two, is to rise, educate, and build the new generation in the correct method and the right way.

 

Allah creates the children with pure innate nature, without defects and whatever defects that happens later on is the result of the bad education.

 

Imams Bukhari and Muslim reported that the prophet (S.A.W.) said, "Every new born has the correct instinct, his parents make him Jewish, Christian or a fire worshipper."
