Bismillah Ir-Rehman Ir-Raheem

Assalam-Alaikum Sister Saj:

May Allah guide us on the Straight Path, and enable the children of our Ummah to enter Jannatul-Firdous.

Masha-Allah, I have benefited from your words.

Thank you for taking the time to write out a detailed reply.

Alhamdullilah wa shukrunlillah.

Assalam-Alaikum:

May Allah guide us to the Straight Path, and make us the means of guidance for the children and youth of this Ummah.

I believe it is really, really important to teach your children from a very early age the importance of Islam: Share with them the Attributes of Allah

, and the importance of making supplication to Allah; share with them the Seerah of Prophet Muhammad

; share with them the stories of Sahaba (may Allah bless them), and Auliya (may Allah preserve them); and teach them Quran with meaning and introduce tafseer to them. Believe me, you will be amazed by how much your children understand if you only take the time to sit down with them. Also, be sure to start them on salaah at an early age, because that is the first aspect of our deen our Ummah will be questioned on Judgment Day. Also, please read Sister UmHasan's advice on how to get children in the habit of praying, as I found it very beneficial.

Parents must be extremely vigilant about how children are internalizing the topics/subjects discussed in school; be sure you discuss even grey topics with them clearly, so that way you will be teaching them how to reason about them. Parents are somewhat godlike figures to children; they want to imitate the parents; so, be sure you are following through on what you are teaching them.

Also, don't assume an attitude of, "I am the parent; so, you must listen to me." Talk to your children even about the punishments you assign them and answer their questions (of whatever nature) with patience and wisdom.

Other than all of the advice listed above, please always remember that parents' dua for their children are highly maqbul ("accepted") in Allah's Court; so, make it a habit to pray for your children, especially for Allah to guide them on the Straight Path and for their protection from all evils. You probably do this already; but this is just a reminder, so Insha-Allah, that we don't forget that our children's hearts and fates, like ours, is ultimately under the Power and Supreme Will of Allah

.

The Messenger of Allah

said, "Three supplications will not be rejected (by Allah

) the supplication of the parent for his child, the supplication of the one who is fasting, and the supplication of the traveler (al-Bayhaqi, at-Tirmidhi).

If I have said anything that is good and true, it is from Allah, and anything other than that is my own mistake.
