When a new born baby scares the most "powerful" countries in the world — like Fir'awn... may they meet the same fate as him. Aameen!

Verily, Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) exalted himself in the land and made its people sects, weakening (oppressing) a group (i.e. Children of Israel) among them: killing their sons, and letting their females live. Verily, he was of the Mufsidûn(i.e. those who commit great sins and crimes, oppressors, tyrants). (28:4)

Daughters are a blessings

Ask children what kind of a Prophet's day they had:
Was it like a Jonah/Yunus day that you felt alone and trapped and thought to give up?
Was it like a Moses/Musa day that you weren't sure if you could do what you were tasked with?
Was it like a Mary/Maryam day where someone mocked, judged, and made you feel rejected?
Was it like a Hajar day that you prayed, then acted and therefore were able to quench your own need and protect someone else you cared for?
Was it like a David/Dawud day that you had to stand up by yourself to a bully?
Was it like a Solomon/Sulayman day that you were so present in your surroundings you felt you could talk and connect with the animals and creation around you even if you felt alone?
Was it like a Noah/Nuh day that you stayed strong in what you believed in even as people laughed at your concerted, quiet confidence?
Was it like a Joseph/Yusuf day that you stayed humble even as you achieved leadership and were in charge of things?
Was it like an Adam or Eve day that you felt maybe scared you didn't know what lay ahead and everything seemed new and overwhelming?
Was it like a Jesus/Esa day that you spoke up and defended someone even though you felt small?
Was it like a Prophet Muhammad day that you smiled easily at others and they thanked you for your kindness?
Spiritualize our youngsters' struggles and successes by humanizing changemakers of noscripture and bringing them alive to the reality of our days.
Be it so. Amen

PRAYER OF THE FATHER

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (rahimahullah ) said:

“The prayer of a father” – in some versions of the hadith it says “against his child” and in some version it is not mentioned; in other words, father’s prayer may be for or against his child. This is the more correct version.

The father’s prayer for or against his child will be answered. As for his praying for him, he prays for him out of compassion and mercy, and whoever shows mercy to people, Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, will show mercy to him. As for praying against him, he cannot pray against his son unless the son deserves it, and if he prays against him when he deserves it, then Allah will answer his prayer.

These are the three answered prayers:

● The prayer of one who has been wronged;
● The prayer of the traveller, and
● The prayer of the parent, whether that is the mother or father.

Sharh Riyadh as-Saaliheen (3/157), Dar Ibn Haytham

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying:

𝗔𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆; 𝘀𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗸𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲.They (the Companions) asked: Messenger of Allah, how can our blessings be submitted to you, when your body has decayed? He (ﷺ) said: Allah has prohibited the earth from consuming the bodies of Prophets.

Creating safety for a child is an important part of a connected and secure relationship.

Supplication of the Parents for the Child

Muhammad bin Ismael al-Bukhārī lost his sight at a young age.

His mother saw Al-Khalil Ibrāhim عليه السلام in a dream and he told her:

'Oh you female! Allāh has restored the eyesight of your son because of your consistent supplication for him.

📖 This narration is authentic and is found in various sources:

«شرح اصول اعتقاد أهل السنة»

▪️From the narration of Al-Lalakai رحمه الله تعالى

▪️Imaam Ath-Dahabi رحمه الله تعالى reported it with a long chain in the book
«سير أعلام النبلاء» 12/393

▪️Also Al-Hafith ibn Hajar رحمه الله تعالى mentioned the narration in his introduction of:
«فتح الباري»487

So, Oh boys and girls! Take advantage of the supplication of your fathers and mothers, so that you will find happiness in this life and the Hereafter.

In order to attain the supplications of your parents, be dutiful and righteous towards them.

Also carry out and perform this great duty which has been made obligatory upon you.

Verily, the parents are overjoyed and delighted to supplicate for their children who are dutiful and righteous to them!

Taken from: The Official English channel of Sheikha Umm Abdullāh, daughter of Sheikh Muqbil Al-Wadei may Allāh preserve her Aameen.

A child who is upright and righteous brings happiness and comfort to the hearts of their parents, and the child who is not righteous and involved in evil deeds brings sadness and heartache to their parents, may Allāh rectify our children and make them the coolness of our eyes.

Prophet ﷺ said:

“When the devil was cast down to earth he said: “My Lord, since You have cast me down to earth and made me outcast so give me a house.”

Allāh replied: “Your house is the bathroom.”

The devil then asked for an assembly place and he was told that markets and crossroads were his assembly places.
He asked for food and was told that it was anything in which Allaah’s name is not mentioned.

On the request for drink he was told that it was all intoxicating drinks.
He wanted a caller and was given single-pipe.

He requested for a Qur'aan and was told it was poetry.

He asked for a book and was given tattoo’s.

He asked for narration and was given telling a lie.

He asked for messengers and was told that they were soothsayers (fortune tellers).

Lastly, he asked for traps and was told to use women.”

‎● {المعجم الكبير للطبراني ٨/٢٠٧}

Abu Sa’id and Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them both) narrate that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: “Whoever has a child, he should give him a good name and teach him how to read and write. And when he matures, he should marry him off. When he matures and the father does not marry him off, then if the boy commits a sin, the sin will be on the father.”(Shu’ab al-Iman of al-Bayhaqi)

Umar ibn al-Khattab and Anas ibn Malik (Allah be pleased with them both) narrate that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: “It is written in the Tawrah that: Who’s daughter reaches the age of twelve years and he fails to marry her off, then if she commits a sin, the sin will be on the father.” (ibid. Also see: Mishkat al-Masabih, 2/939, no. 3139)

In light of the above, it becomes clear that it is the moral and Islamic responsibility of the parents (and importantly the father) to help their children marry. They should actively look for a suitable spouse for their children and do whatever they can in order for them to find a suitable life companion. They should select a pious spouse for their offspring and spend whatever they need to in this regard. Failure in doing so and being neglectful in this regard will result in them being sinful by Allah Most High.

Honouring one’s parents takes precedence over voluntary prayer and other actions.

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:

“Jurayj used to worship in his cell, and his mother came to him. She said: ‘O Jurayj! I am your mother, speak to me.’ She found him praying and he said: ‘O Allaah, my mother or my prayer?’ And he chose his prayer. She went away, then she came back a second time and said: ‘O Jurayj! I am your mother, speak to me.’ He said: ‘O Allaah, my mother or my prayer?’ And he chose his prayer. She said: ‘O Allaah, this is Jurayj and he is my son, and I spoke to him but he refused to speak to me. O Allaah, do not let him die until he has seen prostitutes.’” He said: “If she had prayed that he be tempted, he would have fallen prey to temptation.” [Al-Bukhaari (3436) and Muslim (2550)]

Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

The scholars said: What would have been correct in this case is answering her, because he was offering a naafil prayer and continuing with it is voluntary and not obligatory, whereas answering one’s mother and honouring her is obligatory, and disobeying her is haraam. He could have shortened his prayer and answered her, then gone back to his prayer… End quote.

See: Fath al-Baari by al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him), al-Mawsoo‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 20/342

It says in al-Durr al-Mukhtaar (2/54) - which is a Hanafi book:

If either of his parents calls him during an obligatory prayer, he should not answer unless his parent is urging him to come and help. End quote.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

If your parents call you when you are praying, it is obligatory to answer them, on condition that the prayer is not an obligatory one. If it is an obligatory prayer, it is not permissible to answer them, but if it is a naafil prayer, you should answer them.

The wrong relationship with children.

It is easier said than done, but you have to think of the future consequences that you are subjecting a whole generation too because of the choices you are making.

There are many long-term effects of staying in a toxic relationship, and your children will end up attaining particular tendencies that include learning negative patterns, withdrawal, depression and isolation.

If you are staying in a bad relationship for your children, as admirable as it might feel, it might not be the best for either of you in the long run.

When children see mom and dad unable to maintain a healthy relationship, often with mom crying or dad yelling, they may fear getting close to others. This often starts with isolation behavior in social scenarios with peers and can grow into a fear of intimacy.

Children coming from toxic relationships will view intimacy as a way that people get hurt. In order to protect themselves, they reject any form of a close relationship.

Even when they desperately want to be loved and in love, they will engage in relationships extremely guarded. As the relationship continues, they may replay what they say mom and dad do in arguments.

Children develop habits based on what they see. Boys and girls see dad belittling or even physically harming mom will learn that this is the normal way couples interact.

Kids who see mom cowering at the sound of dad’s keys in the door will feel they need to hide from those who supposedly love them.

These patterns are developed subconsciously and take a lot of work to undo.

As a single mom raising a boy, the last thing you want is for him to raise his hand to you when he is getting punished.

As a single mom of a girl, you want your daughter to feel strong enough to stand up for her feelings, safety, and happiness.

This is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to accomplish when staying in a toxic relationship so you need to do what's right for you and your children's life before it's too late.

So take my advice and ...Choose an environment that best serves your children and the generations that follow.

Break the cycle of abuse.

No child deserves that.
