However, their ignorance of the depth of that relationship is one of the most important reasons behind failing to establish this linguistic connection which will enrich their lives more than anything else. Let us explain the necessity of [...]

  The meaning is: Be a righteous role model for your children. Be a righteous good person so that your children and others would follow your example. It is impossible for children to raise up for high morals and sublime principles even if they hear hundreds of advices and guidelines while they are watching their parents do against these advices. Some fathers are not good models for their children. They show bad manners with their children, wives, and people as well. For example, 1- They have lewd tongues while they want their children with clean tongues and of good speech to the [...]

Of the errors which we commit with our children: To send the child to a place to fetch something and when he returns after buying something you do not want, it will be like doomsday to you and the world becomes gloomy in you face then you yell, insult, rebuke him, repeating expressions like: You do not understand, you do not know, and suchlike expressions which frustrate rather than building, harm his self-confidence, and its trace remains for a while. If your son does so, treat him kindly, thank him for what he did, and explain to him kindly that he [...]

I wrote to my brothers and my beloved advising my children saying: "O son, if you do something bad, you are closing the door of my pleasure, and I shall not open this door unless you remove this evil and do a good deed to remove it and indicate your sincere intention." One of virtuous professors objected politely and said: "If you do something bad, you are closing the door of my pleasure" is a nice expression, but the idea itself has some cruelty, professor. Thereupon, I answered: "Yes, it is part of intimidation, and discipline is achieved by this and [...]

The right of custodianship:  Custodianship over children is rearing children, managing their affairs, and meeting their needs. It is mentioned in Al Mu`jam Al Wasit: "Custodianship over children is rearing and managing the children's affairs."[1] Munir Baalbeki said: Nursery is a place that cares for children and their cleanliness, and accustoms them to play new games in the open air, in addition to teaching them what is suitable to their age such as chanting, calculation, and so on.[2] Jurists stipulated that a babysitter should be of sound mind, healthy, psychologically able to do the duties of custodianship over children, hereby Islam protects children [...]

Ibn 'Abbas   (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, "Make the word 'There is no god but Allah' the first word that your children hear, and on their death,  help  them  say,  'There  is  no  god  but Allah'." In his  book,  Ahkam al-Mawlud, Ibn al-Qayyim said, "When   a  child   struts  to  speak, his  parents should  teach  him  to say, 'There  is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.' A child should first hear something    related to the knowledge about Allah, Most High; His Oneness, His Sovereignty and His Attributes. Therefore, the [...]

The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, "Any Muslim who has two daughters and has been good to them as long as he accompanied them, they will cause him to enter paradise," Also, he (Peace be upon him) said, "Whoever had three daughters, three sisters, two daughters, or two sisters and disciplined them and had been good to them, he will enter Paradise.” Anyone who has a heart that feels and a mind that understands will realize fully the significance of the Prophet's weighty words, which ask us to look after daughters in accordance with Allah's orders and injunctions. Allah has [...]

Islamic obligations, as all Muslims know, are imposed only on every mature, sane Muslim. Nevertheless, Islam urges Muslims to start to acquaint their children with prayer at the age of seven, and to beat them, but not harshly, if they neglect it at the age of ten, The Prophet's Companions got their children used to fasting before the age of puberty. Islam also allows Muslims to accompany their children to mosques and to Hajj even before the children reach puberty, and Allah rewards them for that. So, the question arises, how can we get our daughters accustomed to wearing Hijab? Some [...]

The mother: Indeed, Allah granted you a nice voice, but may Allah guide the teacher of arts to the truth for encouraging you to sins. Janin: Why is that, mother?
