BENEFIT: Proper Upbringing Question: How should a man begin raising his children? I mean, if he wants to raise them with beneficial knowledge. Sheikh Abu Ammār Yāsir ḥafidhahullāh: He should instill in them a love for masājid and teach them ettiquettes of the masājid. We lack fathers who teach their children proper ettiquettes of the masājid. You see a father eager to secure a spot in the first row while his child lingers in the back, playing, causing mischief, perhaps even opening water taps, and the child is not disciplined. Some people mistakenly believe that masājid are merely public properties—neither theirs nor anyone else’s. As a result, when someone corrects a child’s behaviour, the parents react defensively. I urge parents to teach their children the etiquettes of the masājid. Another important matter: begin educating your child with basic religious knowledge. The mother also plays a crucial role in this, especially since the father may be preoccupied. She should help her children to memorise parts of the Qur'ān and teach them fundamental Islamic sciences. As they grow older, their knowledge should expand accordingly. However, guidance ultimately lies in the hands of Allāh, the Almighty. Some fathers are diligent in raising their children with religious values, ensuring their presence in the masājid from a young age. Yet, once the child reaches adolescence and becomes more independent, he may abandon the masājid and turn away from the correct path he was raised on—may Allāh protect us from that. #tarbiyah@masjidsahabah #فوائد_تربوية
