First of all Jazak'Allah to you all for your continuous interest in reading The Muslim Magazine blog. Today I'd like to share a short article on how we can help child to be a good Muslim from the very beginning of his/her life. Here are some quick tips for parents on how they can raise their kids to be a better Muslim.
=> When the child is able to speak a little, teach them the name of Allah. Before, mothers would put their children to sleep by chanting Allah Allah, but now unfortunately it is by playing the music on the radio.
=> Never argue with your spouse in front of children because this leaves puts a lot of stress on the children and causes them to think that they are the cause of the argument.
=> Never curse your children for their mistakes rather motivate them with wisdom and nice words.
=> Pray Salah in front of them, recite Quran, take them to the Masjid with you, and tell them stories of our pious predecessors, they like to listen to stories very much. Hearing stories with lessons and morals will increase their good habits. When they are a little older, teach them the five Kalimat, Imane Mujmal, Imane Mufassal, and then teach them Salah.
=> Put them in under the teaching of an Allah-fearing Shaykh to learn Quran Majeed and knowledge of the deen so they can learn of the beautiful religion to which they belong. Teach them the masail (rulings) of gusul, wudu, and salah.
=> If Allah gives you taufeeq, make atleast on your children Alim or Alimah or Hafiz or Hafiza.
=> Teach your children simplicity and do not expose them to materialism. Teach them the value of doing thier own work. Send them to college, make them judges, make them doctors or any successful and halal career in this world but make them such that they take on these professions as honest Muslims who know their religion.
I hope this article will help you to get more about your duties being a parent. There were some additional info on this article but I had to cut it short to share the gist with you. Finally Jazak'Allah for being with The Muslim Magazine blog :)
