| Some tips on raising children 'Based on Imama al -Ghazali's chapter pertaining to raising children in the earliest days of [children's] development: 'Children are a trust in our care. The heart of a child is like a jewel we are able to shape in any way we want. If the child is made accustomed to khayr (that which is good), his parents and teachers will share in his reward. If the child is made accustomed to that which is wrong, the parents/teachers/guardians will share in the punishment. 'Teach [your children] Mahassanul akhlaq - beautiful conduct - like forgiveness, courage, shukr [thankfulness in words and actions], cleanliness, etc. 'It is the duty of every parent to shield the child from the evil influence of peers that are evil. Do not allow the child to be in the company of peers that will influence them badly (in terms of dress, speech, attitude towards parents, etc). 'Do not allow the child to be used to excessive comfort and [do not] grant them everything they want. If they become accustomed to such luxuries, these things will attract them to the life of this world. Do not allow the child to be accustomed to that which leads to zena [fornication]. Those things should not be made beloved to the child, indeed the consequence would be that when the child grows older they will waste valuable time seeking comfort in that, in their physical appearance, and this will absorb their minds and hearts instead of important things. 'Give the child for feeding to one who is moral and whose income is halaal. Do not give the child to be educated except by those who are Allah fearing and deeply conscious of Him. 'In terms of clothing teach the child to like clothing that is white and clean, not dirty clothes or clothes that are excessively colourful. 'Forbid the child from being in the company of those who are used to too much comfort.' Source: Bangla Mirror, London, Thursday, April 24, 2003, page 12 |
