The Story of Umar (R) losing the custody of his son
In case of a dispute between the father and mother- the mother has most rights. Then grandmother from the maternal side.
Malik related to me that Yahya ibn Said said that he heard al- Qasim ibn Muhammad say, "A woman of the Ansar was married to Umar ibn al-Khattab. She bore Asim ibn Umar to him, and then he separated from her. Umar came to Quba and found his son Asim playing in the courtyard of the mosque. He took him by the arm and placed him before him on his mount. The grandmother of the child saw him and argued with Umar about the child so they went to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq. Umar said, 'My son.' The woman said, 'My son.' Abu Bakr said, 'Do not interfere between a child and its mother.' Umar did not repeat his words."
Yahya said that he heard Malik say, "This is what I would have done in that situation." [ Malik Muwatta Hadith 1463]

One of the most important prayers for parents in Islam is to make dua for their well-being, happiness, and forgiveness.
Here is a dua you can recite:
رابيرهاموما كاما ربياني ساغيرا
"Rabbirhamhuma kama rabbayani sagheera"
(O Allah, have mercy on them as they brought me up when I was small)
It is also recommended to recite the following dua for parents:
ربانا إغفير لي ولي وليدية وللمؤمنة يوما ياقومول حساب"
"Rabbana ighfir li wa li walidayya wa lil mu'mineena yawma yaqumul hisaab"
(O our Lord, forgive me, my parents, and the believers on the Day of Judgment)

In the Same Room, Yet Far Apart: Unveil the Distance From Screens to Faces
Parents! Avoid being busy on your phones in front of your children. You, as a father is an example for your child. You, as a mother, is an example for your child.
Regrettably, many families complain about this. The mother and father sit with their children around them while everyone is holding a device in their hands. Some families say, "Although we are sitting in one room together, we communicate via WhatsApp group." This is from the biggest mistakes that destroys the value of family communication.
When your children see you busy with your phone like this, what are they going to do? They are going to imitate you!

Dear parents,
Teach your kids to be respectful and empathetic towards the elderly.
It's so distasteful when you see children nowadays making fun of old people or failing to show respect...
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “He is not one of us who does not show mercy to our young ones and respect our old ones.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1919; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, 1565.

The fate of parents is to wait for their children. They wait during pregnancy, they wait after school, they wait for them to return home after a night out. They wait as their children start their own lives. They wait for them to come home from work to a warm dinner. They wait with love, with anxiety, and sometimes with fleeting anger that dissipates as soon as they see their children and can embrace them.
Make sure your elderly parents don't have to wait any longer. Visit them, love them, hug the ones who loved you like no one else ever will. Don't keep them waiting; they're expecting this from you.
Because bodies age, but the hearts of parents never grow old. Love them as much as you can. No one will love you like your parents do.

Benefits of a mother Dua'ah is always powerful.
Imam Bukhari had lost his eye sight in his days as a youth, and and he visited lots of skilled doctors, but no treatment was of any success.
His mother was a pious muslimah and used to pray to الله vigorously for her son sight to be returns
One night in her dream,she saw the prophet Ibrahim,who told her that Allah had accepted her prayers, because of her sincere Dua'ah and tears in front of الله , and her son sight would return.

DEAR PARENTS IN ISLAM !!
If You can take your children for Shopping, Then why can't you take them to nearby Masjid.?
If you can wake them Up for a long journey, Then why can't you wake them up for Fajar?
If you can buy them stories and comics, Why can't you buy them translated Quran and hadith books?
If you can send them to high school then why can't you send them to nearby Madrasa?
If you have time to watch movies with them, then why don't you have a bit time to spend with them for Islamic lecturers?
Dear Parents, please let us all reconnect with the Deen.!

These days there are Muslims who are very proud of sending their little girls & boys to modelling & photography sessions, dancing & ballet classes but when these kids go on the wrong path later these same parents wonder where they went wrong....
Yet there are those parents who send their kids to Madrassah to memorise Quran, who wake them up for Fajr salah, teach them beneficial knowledge, worry about their kids Akhirah & make dua to Allah to guide them...of course its these parents won't have to worry on Judgement Day as they have done their duty towards their kids.

Whenever you mention the deceased, always offer a prayer for them. For example:
- My father, رحمه الله.
- My father, may Allāh have mercy upon him.
- My father, may Allāh grant him Paradise.
Whether the supplication is in Arabic, English, or your native language, make it a habit to do this and encourage your family and friends to do the same. We all need supplications, especially after we have departed from this world.
اللَّهُمَّ اغفِر لِلْمُسْلِمِين والْمُسْلِمَاتِ وَالمُؤمِنِينَ وَالمُؤمِنَاتِ، الأَحيَاءِ مِنهُم وَالأَموَاتِ
O’ Allāh, forgive the male and female Muslims, and the male and female believers, the living and the deceased.
- My father, رحمه الله.
- My father, may Allāh have mercy upon him.

Dear Blossom Mother,
Excess screen time for children can pose various risks to their physical health, mental well-being, and overall development. Prolonged exposure to screens, particularly sitting in a specific position for long can contribute to an increased risk of obesity and other health issues due to reduced physical activity levels.
Encourage your kids to play around, don't bother about scattering the house, when kids are at home, the house is not meant to look perfectly intact 🤣🤣🤣.
Encourage them to play physical games, skipping is nice for their physical health, puzzle games, Scrabble game is beautiful for their cognitive development as well etc.
Encourage more physical activities to keep them engaged and reduce screen time please.

Taking notes 📝
Anas ibn Malik رضي الله عنه would encourage his children upon writing knowledge so he would say to them, “Oh my sons, confine [preserve] knowledge through the book [i.e. in writing it down]”.
Similarly it is narrated he رضي الله عنه would say, “We would not consider the knowledge of the one who does not write down his knowledge, as knowledge”.
[تقييد العلم ص96]

"Life becomes meaningful when we never stop loving the people close to our heart, with or without their presence. When they're no longer visible for our eyes to see but always touches our feelings from the so many good things we can be thankful of for ourselves because of them. It's always a treasure to be loved unconditionally."

The first man a girl admires is her father.
Daughters will always look up to their fathers as their hero, loyal guardian and protective shield, with whom she can find hope, shelter and protection.
The most cowardly thing a father can do, is to turn a blind eye to the suffering of his daughter after she is married and abandon her to her fate. It will break her heart, shatter her world and make her lose all hope.
As a father, you should teach your daughter to be dutiful and live honourably with her husband.
Tell the man who wishes to marry your daughter: “I am entrusting my daughter to you. I treated her with kindness and respect when she was with me. I expect nothing less from you.”
Most likely, nothing will happen and life will be good, but IF he then abuses her, unleash hell and make sure he faces the full consequences of his behaviour.
If the father is no longer present, then this duty falls on the shoulders of her brothers.
