Don't let your children be your enemies on the Day of Judgement by raising them to sin.
It will be your biggest regret ever. Raise your children with the fear of Allaah so they can be one of your biggest reasons to enter Jannah bi idh nillaah.

*Here are some mistakes parents do that lead kids into Zina; parents should be careful of the following:*
1.Parents, especially mother's bathing with her kids, dressing Infront of them and seeing nothing wrong with that. But don't forget they are observing what you have on your body.
2. Bathing two or more children together or dressing them together. They also observe strange things from one another.
3. Wearing the child especially the girl child with Haram dressing that exposes her body. (Beware bad men raping kids are some reason of your girl child body exposing as a means of seducing).
4. Children watching Haram programs, films on TV, phones etc.
5. The Prophet advised that, at some stage the husband and the wife should avoid sleeping with their child. And also avoid putting the boy and the girl on the same bed. Sunan Abi Dawud 495.

Allaah mentioned two stages of man where he is physically weak: 1) when he is a child, 2) when grows old.
اللَّـهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن ضَعْفٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِن بَعْدِ ضَعْفٍ قُوَّةً ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِن بَعْدِ قُوَّةٍ ضَعْفًا وَشَيْبَةً ۚيَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاءُ ۖ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيمُ الْقَدِيرُ
{Allah is He Who created you in (a state of) weakness, then gave you strength after weakness, then after strength gave (you) weakness and grey hair. He creates what He wills. And it is He Who is the All-Knowing, the All-Powerful (i.e. Able to do all things)}
📚[Surah al-Room (30): 54]
🌴🌴🌴
➡️ As much as we are responsible for the welfare and well-being of our children, similarly we are responsible for our parents' well-being when they grow old.
➡️ Our parents took care of us when we were helpless, and when they are old, it is our duty to take care of them.
➡️ And this has been beautifully described in the Hadeeth of the three who got stuck in the cave and they said to each other: 'Invoke Allaah with the best deed you have performed (so Allaah might remove the rock)'. One of them said: "O Allaah! You know that I had old parents whom I used to provide with the milk from my sheep every night. One night I was delayed and when I came, they had slept, while my wife and children were crying with hunger. I used not to let them (i.e. my family) drink unless my parents had drunk first. So I disliked to wake them up and also disliked that they should sleep without drinking it, I kept on waiting (for them to wake) till it dawned. O Allaah ! If You consider that I did that for fear of you, then please remove the rock." So the rock moved a bit and they could see the sky through it... and the other two supplicated, mentioning their good deeds and the rock moved and they got out.
📚 [Saheehain]

➡️ We do not (or did not) send our children to nursing homes when they are (or were) young, then how can we do that with our parents when they grow old?
➡️ We do not abandon our children, then why should (or how could) we abandon our parents?
➡️ At times, we do need external help and extra assistance, no one is denying that. But Shaikh Saaleh al-Fawzaan is clear about those who would abandon their parents in nursing homes and would rarely pay them a visit; as if the employees in the nursing homes are their children and not you. This is where the problem is.

{And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honor. And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, and say: "MY LORD ! BESTOW ON THEM YOUR MERCY AS THEY DID BRING ME UP WHEN I WAS SMALL."

Most parents nowadays don’t raise their kids, they simply keep them alive.
What good does it bring one’s hereafter to have a child if you simply let it roam around like an animal, with no discipline, no Islāmic education, & no manners?
Just food, water, & play والله المستعان
One thing different from today’s generation of parents vs the previous ones, is that the latter might have neglected Deen greatly in their Tarbiyyah, but at least manners & discipline was emphasized & enforced.
Today’s parents lack in both. It’s pathetic to call it “parenting”.

DECEASED PARENTS
When a parent passes away remember that you have begun a new phase of birr (dutifulness) to that parent.
Birr after death is the truest and most sincere forms of birr because birr during their lifetime could be tainted with show-off, being polite (as opposed to sincere) and expecting praise from the parents or others. As for after their death, then only Allah hears and sees you.
A deceased parent is in greater need of his/her children - even more than when they the parent was alive. What children do for the parents during the parent's lifetime is for the worldly needs.
But after death only Allah knows what good and bad is in store for the deceased in the grave.
Du'a - i.e., supplication to Allah - for rahmah (mercy), asking Allah to shower the deceased with His mercy is invaluable for the deceased.
Through the child's Du'a, Allah - with His grace and mercy - enlightens the grave removing the darkness and expands the grave thus removing the suffering. And Allah makes the grave a garden from the gardens of Paradise for the deceased.
Therefore, always remember your deceased parent/s, and always ask Allah to shower them with His mercy, enlighten their grave and expand it.
For example as you are about have a meal think about the many wonderful meals your mother had prepared for you and how she looked after you all your life. Your heart will surely soften and at that point, let it drive you to offer a similar meal to an orphan, widow, divorced or needy person on behalf of your deceased parent, begging of Allah to reward them for it. Give charity on their behalf, recalling the many favours they did for you.
Never forget parents. No matter how harsh they may have been with you, only Allah knows the love they had in their hearts for you.
Remember them in your Du'a during sujood - the prostration - between the adhaan - the call for prayer - and the iqamah - the in-masjid call for prayer just a minute before congregational prayer, and in every act of worship and at all times.
Give charity on their behalf privately, wipe away the tears of orphans, widows and divorced (through charity) on behalf of your parents, quench the thirst of the thirsty on their behalf (by having a well dug, for example).
Go out of your way to be the best child to your parents for they have sacrificed much to raise you.
This is the Du'a for parents:
*رَّبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا*
*Rabb-ir-ham-huma kama rabbayaani sagheera* {Quran surah 17, verse 24}
Translation :
'My Lord .. Bestow thy mercy on my parent/s as they cherished and raised me in my childhood'
Lastly let us teach our children about this Du'a for one day we all shall need it.

Not just a woman, but a warrior.
Allah has bestowed upon us the gift of children, yet not every husband will experience fatherhood, and not every marriage will thrive.
The weight carried by a single mother is known only to her. Some men might label marrying a single mother as a heavy responsibility, pointing to the prevalence of women with children. However, they often fail to grasp the tremendous challenges faced by single women who raise their children single-handedly.
A mother's love for her children knows no bounds; she willingly puts her happiness on hold to witness her kids' smiles. Unfortunately, many men tend to overlook or misunderstand this profound sacrifice.
Let us never look down upon single mothers; they are warriors who never gave up on their children even when the men departed and no other man was strong enough to lend a helping hand.
May Allah bless our sisters and protect them from all harm.
Ameen 🌹

It was narrated from Hudhayfah that the Prophet peace and blessings of Allah be upon him said:

Do not marry from a low intelligence family, even if they are as beautiful as peacock. Your children may pay for it.
Beauty only attracts for a day, while intelligence, even without beauty attracts forever. The similitude is Al A'mash.

Do not allow your children to intermingle with the foolish children since he will most certainly acquire their foul statements and actions and this will destroy whatever he has learned.
And the child memorizes whatever he encounters; and he does not forget, his heart is like a pure jewel. So inscribe on his heart what you will of information, he will retain it with his proficient memory?
Therefore, the situation of the child is that he is open and receptive to everything; just as it is said, "Inscribing upon the youth is like inscribing in stone.'

AMAZING DUA FOR RIGHTEOUS SPOUSE & KIDS:
Do u want ur husband/wife to bring so much happiness to u that it makes u literally cry tears of joy?
Do u want ur children as well as ur future generations to be LEADERS of the Mutaqeen, those who have Taqwa?
When u see ur children praying or reciting Quran, or having exemplary manners does it not bring coolness to ur eyes? Bringing tears of joy?
Memorise this dua Allah mentions in Surah Al Furqaan verse 74:
رَبَّنَا هَبۡ لَنَا مِنۡ أَزۡوَٲجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّـٰتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعۡيُنٍ۬ وَٱجۡعَلۡنَا لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا
"And those who say: “Our Lord! Bestow on us from our spouses & our offspring the coolness of our eyes & make us leaders for the Muttaqun.”
“The EYES becoming COOL” is an Arab idiom. The Arabs when travelling in the desert would wrap their faces to protect from sandstorms. However, they cannot afford to cover their eyes without losing their vision, so they had to keep their eyes exposed. When they finally found a refuge, interestingly they would say “My eyes have finally become cool.” So in literature, this expression equates to finding refuge from a storm.
This is what we are asking from this beautiful du’a. Ironically in many of our homes, the storm that we are seeking refuge from is not outside, but inside the home. Our homes are broken – the depression, sadness, yelling & insults between spouses, siblings, parents & children have made us run away from what is supposed to be our refuge from the outside storm. This is the crisis of the world today.
"Hab lana' means to ask a special favor from Allah to be granted an unexpected, beautiful gift especially for us. We ask Allah to grant from our spouses & not just our immediate children – but even our future lineage & generations to come – the coolness of our eyes. Allah SWT) teaches us to ask Him so perfectly and eloquently for our home to become a place of refuge – that when we come home to our spouse & children, our worries disappear.
To depict how powerful & beautiful this du’a is. Know that there is no stronger bond between a mother & her child. So imagine the state of desperation of Musa’s alaihi salaam’s mother when she put her baby in the water to save him from Fir’aun. Will he be ok? Will he drown? Will he get dehydrated? Will he be picked up by Fir’aun’s soldiers? She didn’t know! So can you imagine her emotion when she was finally reunited with Musa alaihis salam. Look how Allah describes that emotion.
"So We restored you to your mother, that she might COOL HER EYES & she should not grieve" {Surat Ta-Ha 20: Verse 40}
Allah is describing the most amazing joy & relief! The most indescribable feeling in the heart by the same expression: the coolness of the eyes! This is exactly what we ask from Allah from this powerful and beautiful du’a.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’aala make our spouses & children from among those who are the coolness of our eyes & that He makes us leader of the pious & righteous.
