Dont SCREAM at ur child, speak to them using gentle speech & kind words:

How often is it that when our children misbehave we tend to lash out, to shout, to SCREAM to speak in an abrupt and maybe even cold manner...? I came across this ayah in the Quran where Allah says:

“Go, both of you, to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed. And speak to him with GENTLE SPEECH he may be reminded or fear [Allah].”
Qur'an [Surah Taha: 20:44]

How terrible and arrogant was Firawn? How evil was his treatment of the Banu-Israel? How he turned his face in contempt towards Allah? He was the most insolent & arrogant person of his time.

Despite all this, Allah orders Musa (alaihis salaam) & Haroon (alaihis salam) to speak to him in a gentle and kind manner, just in case he might come around and believe.

There is an important lesson here on how you should treat difficult people & those headed in the wrong direction. Especially our own children when they do or say things that are contrary to what you've taught them.

Just like you don't appreciate people talking down to you, your approach needs to be one of love and concern regardless of the behaviour of your child. The manner in which you speak to a CHILD is often times more important and more impactful than what you say!

Its not WHAT you say, its HOW you say it...so STOP SCREAMING at ur child & speak kindly & gentle like a close friend.

Rights of children before birth

The child’s rights over their parents include some that come even before the child is born, for example:

· Choosing a righteous wife to be a righteous mother.

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “A woman may be married for four reasons: her wealth, her lineage, her beauty and her religious commitment. Marry the one who is religiously committed, may your hands be rubbed with dust (i.e., may you prosper).” (Narrated by al-Bukhari, 4802; Muslim, 1466)

Shaykh ‘Abd al-Ghani al-Dahlawi said: “Choose from among women those who are religiously committed and righteous, and who are of good descent, for if a woman is of illegitimate descent, this bad characteristic may be passed to her children. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“The adulterer — fornicator marries not but an adulteress — fornicatress or a Mushrikah; and the adulteress –fornicatress, none marries her except an adulterer — fornicator or a Mushrik.” [al-Nur 24:3]

Rather Islam recommends compatibility for the purpose of harmony and to avoid a person being shamed if he marries into a family that is not compatible.” (Sharh Sunan Ibn Majah, 1/141)

The Daughter.

Whoever has a daughter or daughters doesn't know the blessings Allah has bestowed upon them. We see men who feel apathetic about having a female child. Also, we see the family who doesn't know how to nurture their children, not to talk of female children.

You see females dressed naked on the street and their parents approving this with them saying "She's socialized, let them know I have a female that jasi".

May we not jasi Ina.

Our children should be nurtured and given good Tarbiyyah, not as we see some mothers practicing the Deen, while the daughter isn't. We ask Allah to save us from this.

Having female daughters is indeed a great virtue we need to be wary of.

Anas reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever has three daughters, or three sisters, and he fears Allah regarding them and cares for them, he will be with me in Paradise like this,” and he held up his two fingers.

Source: Musnad Abī Ya’lá 3448
Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani

Train your daughters with a correct understanding of the Deen, and save her from the beliefs of society.

We ask Allah to ease it for us. Aameen

A mother told a sheikh;”oh sheikh!I find difficulty in waking my son up for Fajr! The sheikh replied;” if there was a fire-wouldn’t u drag him out of the house?” She said “Ofc!” His response:”so what of the fire of Jahannam?”
Subhan’Allaah!

Very often "Tarbiyah of Children" is attributed only to the Mothers, but as they say, IT IS CALLED PARENTING AND NOT MOTHERING!

Yes, mothers play a greater role but the father is the actual supervisor.

📗 | Sheikh Saleh Al-Luhaidan, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

"It is advisable for a person, as well as his family and children at home, to increase in reading the Quran. Because reciting the Quran at home illuminates and brightens the house, and it serves as a deterrent to Shaytan. Shaytan does not endure a place where the Quran is recited."

Parenting Advice from Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

“You're not responsible for your children's actions, only for what you teach them (or don't teach them).

Focus on teaching your children adab and akhlaq (manners and etiquette); parents don't emphasize these enough any more. Have adab with yourself before you set out to teach adab -- that means "pausing". Be willing to pause before reacting.

Adab is the capacity to have the appropriate action, attitude, and response in any given situation.

Oftentimes we do more damage by how we react to our children's mishaps. When we lose our temper with our kids, we're still "teaching" them; we're just not teaching them the appropriate reaction to life's adversities and challenges. Our kids are always learning from us.

Criticizing your children is a bid'ah (a blameworthy innovation); it's not from the Sunnah (way of the Prophet). Don't criticize; don't nag. Nagging your children about everything is a good way to guarantee that they don't listen to you about anything. Nagging never works.

Sometimes the correct response is to not say anything.

If you want to know how to raise teenagers, look at the life of Anas (radiAllahu anhu); he lived in the house of the Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wasallam) from the age of 10 to 20. He broke things and made mistakes, but the Prophet (saw) never focused on whatever Allah had already destined; he never shamed Anas (rA) for his mistakes. He only focused on gentle teaching and gentle reminders. (i.e. "Did you take care of that task I asked you to do?" rather than "Why haven't you done what I asked you to do yet?! How many times do I have to remind you?!")

Children who have not yet attained the age of puberty are not held accountable by Allah (swt) even if they commit murder (God forbid), so who are we to freak out on our kids for "little things" like spilled milk?

When the Prophet (saw) saw another young sahabah (companion) eating greedily from all over a plate, he gently told him, "Say Allah's Name before eating; eat with your right hand; and eat from what is in front of you." He didn't criticize him for his (lack of) manners; he only told him the correct way to eat and then moved on.

We are not police officers or judges when it comes to our children; rather, we should be like shepherds -- we should try to gently guide them in the direction of where we want them to eventually end up.

Complaining about your children to friends is blameworthy; however, consulting with ppl who have wisdom and experience is praiseworthy. Don't talk to just anyone about you r concerns regarding your children.

When asked about getting kids to pray or to wear the hijab, he reminded us that Islam is not about do's and don'ts and a bunch of rules; it's about the heart. We need to teach kids to have hearts that are directed towards pleasing their Lord. They should desire on their own to live lives of taqwa (God-consciousness). We must model taqwa for them by how we live our own lives. Some children may need gentle nudges and reminders to do the right thing.

Don’t over indulge and spend on your children teach them the value of what they have, sometimes we fill ourselves of something we lack when we over indulge in them this is dangerous at any age.

All virtues that are virtuous should be taught to and emphasized for BOTH genders (like modesty and lowering the gaze and gentleness). Boys should not be shamed for being shy. Shyness is praiseworthy.

Prayer should be a pleasant experience for the kids. He talked about his own children taking turns saying their personal duas aloud after prayer time; sometimes the kids would fall into hugging and wrestling on the prayer mat afterwards.

Teach kids about the Prophet Muhammad's (saw) life.

Remind yourself about what your parents did RIGHT.

Don't become self-satisfied and overly confident in your parenting.

Seek Allah's Pleasure through your own parenting, and facilitate for your children to seek Allah's Pleasure as well.

Aim high in both spiritual and worldly matters. Do dhikr (remembrance of Allah) and call on Allah for Help. Don't just ask that He make your kids into good Muslims; ask Him to make your kids from amongst the best and most virtuous of all Muslims ever. Trust in Him to answer your duas. Nothing is impossible for Allah.“

This might split hairs but I have to say it, because as someone who is probably older and wiser, I have insight that you can benefit from, insha’Allah 🖤

Stop giving children your mobile phone to keep them quiet…

You’re setting yourself and your children up for failure handing over your mobile phone to keep them distracted and silent so you can attend the masjid, or push them without a fuss in the stroller or keep them in one place at home…

You wouldn’t feed them candy and chocolate for dinner because it will rot their teeth and stunt their development…

The mobile device you’re handing them….

Rots their brain and stunts their development

Once you begin using the mobile, it becomes an addiction, not just for your child but also for you, because you don’t know how to distract them and keep them quiet without one…

Young children absolutely are physically exhausting and it IS hard work that requires great effort 💯

But….the mobile you use to pacify them will only lead to behaviour challenges and stunted growth

Instead, when you’re visiting the masjid pack a small bag for your toddler or preschooler with a colouring book and mess free crayons, ask them to take a small quiet toy with them and a favourite book.

Take a few extra colouring sheets or papers for the other kids who will want to join in who’s muma didn’t think to pack them something and encourage your child to share 🖤

At home, give them an activity or sensory toys that will hold their attention a short time so that you can take a breather!

You have to think outside the box here…

If you don’t use the mobile, your children won’t crave it and they will be ➡️satisfied with simple things

If you use it, nothing will settle them other than the glare of your screen and while they may be quiet holding onto it between their tiny little hands, you have bigger problems than a noisy child coming

HOW THE RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE OF THE PAST USED TO RAISE THEIR CHILDREN

PARENTS DON'T DO THIS MISTAKE WITH YOUR CHILDREN

From the means by which a Jinn can overpower and possess the children

A very important point

Shaikh Ibn al-`Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:

❝Some of the foolish, ignorant people, lacking intelligence, scare their small innocent children and frighten them by saying: so-and-so will come (and take you), or so-and-so will (do such-and-such to you). So the child gets scared and this fear and anxiety remains in his heart, and this becomes permanent in his heart so that he is constantly in anxiety, fear and distress.

Sometimes it is the father who scares his son and sometimes it is the mother who scares her son and daughter.

But the most foolish ones are those who tell us that the when a child does something wrong (then as punishment) he should be locked inside his room, alone. And even when he shouts and screams they do not feel sorry for him nor do they open the door.

And this is one of the means by which a Jinn overpowers (and possesses) the child. This was conveyed by one of the Jinns who had possessed a child and said that he entered in him when his father had locked him inside the room, and he began to shout and scream, and that's when he possessed him.

So we should be alert and take precautions from the things which can become a means for the Jinn to overpower us.❞

Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal رحمه الله said about his mother,

"My mother made me memorise the Qur'an when I was only ten years old. She used to wake me up before fajar salaah and would heat up water for my wudu in the cold nights of Baghdad.

وكانت أمي تلبسني اللباس، وكانت تختمر وتتغطى بحجابها وتذهب معه إلى المسجد؛ لأن المسجد بعيد؛ ولأن الطريق مظلمة

Then, after dressing me up, she would cover herself fully in her hijab and go with me to the masjid as it was far away from our house and the way to the masjid was very dark"

▪️Shaykh Ahmad bin Yahya an-Najmi, [may Allāh bestow mercy upon him], said:

“Extend kindness towards your mother, maintain patience, refrain from expressing any discontent, and rest assured that Allāh will undoubtedly reward you for both your financial support and devoted service to her.”

Being Fair Between Children

‘Aamir narrated:
I heard Al-Nu‘maan ibn Basheer (may Allah be pleased with him) on the pulpit saying, "My father gave me a gift but ‘Amrah bint Rawaahah (my mother) said that she would not agree to it unless he made Allah's Messengerﷺ as a witness to it. So, my father went to Allah's Messengerﷺ and said, 'I have given a gift to my son from ‘Amrah bint Rawaahah, but she ordered me to make you as a witness to it, O Allah's Messengerﷺ!' Allah's Messenger ﷺ asked, 'Have you given (the like of it) to everyone of your children?' He replied in the negative. Allah's Messengerﷺ said, ‘Fear Allah, and be just to all your children (i.e., treat them all on an equal footing).' My father then returned and took back his gift." [Bukhari]

The aim of such a command was to foster mutual accord and affection between siblings, eliminating the causes of discord and hatred, and helping them show the enjoined dutifulness towards their father. Basheer (may Allah be pleased with him) obeyed the Prophet’s ﷺcommand, returned, and took back his gift to establish equality between all his children.

Imaam An-Nawwawee (r) said: “From this Hadeeth we
understand that it is obligatory for him to be equal in donating to
his children and that he gives to every one of them that which he
gave to the others, and that he not prefer one over the other and
that he must be equal between boys and girls.”

IMPORTANCE OF BEING A RIGHTEOUS FATHER.

■ Abdullah ibn Mas'ud رضا الله عنه used to pray at night and would see his small child sleeping. He would then say, "this is for your bright future" and whilst crying he recited: "And their father was righteous" [Al Qurʾān 18:82]

■ Abdullah Ibn Abbas رضا الله عنه said: "They were protected by the righteousness of their father."

■ Said Ibn al Musayb رحمه الله said: "I pray, then when I remember my child, I increase in my prayers." [Tafsir al Baghawi v. 5 p. 196]
