THE MUSLIM HOME

Taking careful note of what your family members are up to.

By Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid
(Original in Arabic)

Who are your children’s friends?

Have you met them before?

What do your children bring home from outside?

Where does your daughter go, and with whom?

Some parents do not know that their children have in their possession bad pictures, movies and even drugs. Some of them do not know that their daughter goes with the (female) servant to the market, then asks the servant to wait with the driver whilst she goes to her appointment or "date" with one of the Shayaateen (devils), or to smoke and mess about with
her bad friends.

Those who neglect their children will not be let off on that terrible Day, nor will they be able to flee from the horrors of the Day of Reckoning. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Allaah will ask every shepherd (or responsible person) about his flock (those for whom he was responsible), whether he took care of it or neglected it, until He asks a man about his household." (Hasan. Reported by al-Nisaa'i, 292, and Ibn Hibbaan from Anas; Saheeh al-Jaami’, 1775; al-Silsilat al-Saheehah, 1636)..

There are some important points to note here:.

1. This supervision must be subtle.
2. There should not be a terrorizing atmosphere.
3. The child must not be made to feel that he or she is not trusted.
4. Advice and/or punishments must be measured against the ages of the children, their levels of understanding and the extent of the wrongful behaviour.
5. Beware of negative methods of checking on children and making them feel that their every move is being watched. I have been told of a person who has a computer in which he records every mistake his children makes in detail. If one of his children does something wrong, he sends him a memo requesting his presence, then he opens the child’s file on the computer and tells him all his previous mistakes, as well as the current misdemeanour.

Note: we are not talking about running a 'company' here. The father is not the angel whose job it is to write down bad deeds. This father needs to read more about the principles of Islamic upbringing and education.

I also know of people at the other extreme, who refuse to get involved in their childrens' affairs at all, claiming that the child will not be convinced that a mistake is a mistake or a sin is a sin unless he does it and then finds out for himself that it is a mistake. This deviant idea comes from being weaned on ideas of western philosophy and notions of absolute freedom. Some of them give their child free rein, fearing that the child may start to hate them, saying "I will earn his love whatever he does."

Some give the child free rein as a reaction to their own over-strict upbringings, thinking that they have to do the absolute opposite with their own children. Some of them even take an attitude of extremes by saying, "Let our sons and daughters enjoy their youth as they wish."

Do these people not think that their children might pull on their clothes on the Day of Resurrection and say, "O my father, why did you leave me in sin?"

RECOGNISING THE SIGNS OF THE CREATOR – THIS IS INTELLIGENCE

Mirza Yawar Baig explained that Allah Ta’aala, Creator of the heavens and the earth, in the noble Quran commands us to search for His signs in the creation around us and search within ourselves. Ultimately, those that recognise the signs of Allah Ta’aala and remembers Allah, truly they are the Intelligent ones… Listen here
