Humans devised rules and regulations in order to make the
world a better place. Without these standards and sufficient leadership, the
sense of morality would be lost, and society will descend into anarchy.
Parenting styles can have a significant impact on maintaining a peaceful and
orderly community. Because the youngsters they are raising now will be
tomorrow's leaders. As a result, their parenting is extremely important. If
they begin to break the norms, their lives will become a jumble, and this is
how individuals begin to doubt their religion. The physical, social, emotional,
and intellectual development of a child is influenced by the environment in
which he or she grows up. Muslims need to understand the significance of the
parenting role because Allah (SWT) says; O you who believe, protect yourselves
and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, over which are
[appointed] angels, harsh and severe. [Qur’an 66:6]
The following are the top seven recommendations for Muslim
parents:
Increase the amount of
time you spend with your children:
Allah will inquire as to how both parents raised their
children. It will be terrible for this life and the afterlife if parents do not
pay enough attention to and guide their children, and as a result, the children
grow up not practising Islam. As a result, parents should prioritise parenting
over all else. If you have any extra jobs, quit them and devote more time to
your children. It is impossible to provide adequate counsel to children if you
are not present with them. Spending more time with family and children is
preferable to having more money and luxury items.
Take an interest in their work:
After you make more time for your children, you will have
more possibilities to be interested in what they do. If your child enjoys
gardening, go ahead and assist him. Go ahead and look at his websites if he
creates them. If they enjoy travelling, accompany them. Is your son a football
player? Pay attention to his games. Taking an interest in what your children do
will help you connect with them appropriately. If they're doing something
wrong, you'll be able to tell right away. Directly confront them about it and
tell them they can't do that. Make them your partners and provide them family
tasks. This will help you and your children form a strong bond. Inviting them
to Islamic activities is a good idea.
Make sure you have the correct role
models:
These days, children's idols are artists, actors, and other
celebrities. As a result, they are gradually abandoning Salah and Islam. They
are more likely to have tattoos and engage in premarital affairs. To avoid
temptation, get them married as soon as possible. To be a role model for your
children, you must become religious. Make them read the biographies of our Prophet
(SAW) and his companions as well. Stop convincing kids that singers and actors
are their heroes. Assist and guide them in making our Prophet (SAW) their idol,
so they can select the right path for themselves.
Make a parenting strategy:
It's more crucial than you realise to have a parenting plan.
Read Muslim-authored books to aid in the development of a good parenting
strategy. If you make plans that are known to everyone in the family, your
family members will be looking forward to the same things that you are looking
forward to. One of your most valuable assets is anticipation. Nothing can be
accomplished in life without planning, and the same can be said about
parenting. Begin planning, even if only for three months at a time. Plan a
weekly family meeting to stay up to date on what's going on in the household.
Dinners with your children should be planned frequently. These preparations
will assist you in raising your children properly. Without a doubt, something
that isn't planned is doomed to fail.
Don't simply teach them; nurture
them:
We are concerned about our children's education and want to
enrol them in the greatest educational institution possible. We seem to
overlook the nurturing aspect. Education provides them with the rules,
regulations, advice, and knowledge they require. However, individuals can only
put such information and instruction into practice in their daily lives if they
are nurtured. It's pointless to educate them without also nurturing them. From
the Quran, teach your children how to be an ideal Muslim. Teach them the
information and encourage them to apply it in their daily lives.
What other parents have done to get
it right:
If you observe other parents doing well, don't assume
they're better parents than you. Every family experiences highs and lows, good
and bad moments. If you are currently unable to effectively guide your
children, this does not mean you will never be able to do so. Although each
child is unique, you can sometimes emulate the ways of parents who have had
success with their children. The Quran and Sunnah are the primary sources of
knowledge, but there are also a plethora of parenting books and courses
available. Even when you're angry, have patience and give your child
unconditional love. Make sure your children have a good structure and routine.
Make Dua and read Qur’an:
Allah is the one who provides guidance. If you fulfil your
role as a parent properly, your children will, Insha Allah, be on the right
track. If you don't disregard this responsibility, it will be easier to lead
them in the proper direction. Every time you conclude your prayer, make dua for
them. Make a dua for them in front of them to show them how much you care and
love them. At least 10 minutes a day, read the Quran with the translation. The
optimum times to recite the Quran are before sleeping and after Fajr. You will
immediately see the result. This will help you connect with Allah, and you will
quickly become a role model for your family. Choose a section of the basement
or living room to serve as the home Masjid and entrust it to the kids. This is
something you can do with ease. Make your home into a library by stocking it
with Islamic books. Your children will be more engaged in an Islamic lifestyle
if you have a Masjid and an Islamic library. Being a parent is a difficult job.
It might be difficult to steer children in the correct direction at times. At
some point in their lives, every parent has struggled to lead their children
down the proper path. These suggestions will undoubtedly be of tremendous
assistance to all parents.
