All praise is Allah, and may Allah raise the rank of our Prophet Muhammad and protect his people from whom he fears for them after that.
Allah, the exalted, said in the Holy Quran in Surat-Tahrim:
يا أيها الذين ءامنوا وا أنفسكم وأهليكم نارا وقودها الناس والحجارة
This ayah means: {O ye who believed you and your families from Hellfire, who feed on people and stones.}
The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said, which means: <
Dear brothers; Allah the Exalted created us in many tribes, colors and languages. He created us as people with different traditions and understanding.
Allah ordered all mankind to follow the only acceptable religion, Islam. He opened many different rules for His messengers to teach him to people.
Allah the Exalted bestowed upon the Prophet Muhammad the last and most simple set of rules for humanity, therefore we must follow and practice it.
A good society is a society where all its people have good manners.
The question is; Who are the people who make up the society?
They are in fact fathers, mothers and their children.
Parents should be good role models for their children and teach them the proper manners and principles of Islam in order to create a righteous society.
In the matter of teaching children well, Sheikh Mustafa Nadj, the former mufti of the city of Beirut, said: “Younger children are easier to learn, unlike those who are pubescent. What you teach a child from a younger age is what will make the main effect in his adult age. A child looks like an empty jar that will take everything you fill it with. If you fill it with pure substance, this is what will pour out. "
Dear brothers; The role of parents is very important for the upbringing of children in Islam. Recall what the prophet said:

From this hadeeth, we understand that it is imperative that the guardian of a child who has reached the age of mental discrimination, ordered the child to perform a prayer, teach him the rules of prayer after the child has completed seven lunar years.
The same is done in the case of fasting, if the child can carry the fasting. In addition, the guardian should teach the child the basics of Islam, such as Allah is not like any of his creations and that Allah exists without a place and that Allah sent ambassadors and prophets, the first was Adam, and the last was Muhammad.
Guardians must also teach the child what is legal and what is illegal. Examples of some illegal cases include theft, drinking and adultery.
They should teach the child what is necessary, for example, the daily five prayers and what is useful, for example, to use the Sivak and pray in the congregation.
What we see today, such as murder, theft and drug use, is the result of the lack of role models of the parents and the incorrect teachings of the child and their negligence in educating the child in an Islamic way.
Therefore, it is important for us that carers take seriously how we raise our children.
Finally, let's recall the statement of the Prophet:
المرء على دين خليله فلينظر أحدكم من يخالل
What means: <>.
We ask Allah to give us the opportunity to raise our children with Islamists and develop them into righteous members of society.
