How To Raise Children Into Responsible Adults by Realismailakabir: 6:53am On Dec 18, 2020
Prophet (s) said: “Allah (SWT) will ask every caretaker about the people under his care, and the man will be asked about the people of his household” (Nasa’i, Abu Da’ud).

Allah (SWT) states in the Quran about the need to raise families in the light of their end destination, which may be translated in the following words:

“O you who believe! Ward off yourselves and your families against a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe, who disobey not, (from executing) the commands they receive from Allah, but do that which they are commanded” (Tahrim 66:6).


The following are some of the critical areas related to raising children into responsible Muslim adults:

(1)Give the child a good name

Parents have the responsibility to provide the child with a good name which is in accordance with Islamic traditions. One of the hadith in this context is the one narrated by Naafi’ that Ibn ‘Umar said: The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “The most beloved of your names to Allah are ‘Abd-Allah and ‘Abd al-Rahmaan” (Narrated by Muslim, 2132).


(2) Inculcating The concept of “La Ilaha Illa-Allah” and Huquq Allah (Rights of Allah)

Parents should inculcate in their children the correct ‘aqeedah of the oneness of Allah followed by all religious acts of worship that are needed for them to get close to Allah. The principles of Tawheed should never be taken lightly because they mark the boundaries of entering Islam. Mu`âdh bin Jabal relates that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said to him: “O Mu`âdh! Do you know what is Allah’s right over His servants and what their right is over Him?” I said: “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He said: “Allah’s right over His servants is that they worship Him without associating any partner with Him in worship, and their right over Him is that He does not punish anyone who worships Him without associating any partner with Him in worship” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî and Sahîh Muslim].


(3) Spend appropriately on your children

Parents, and especially fathers, have the responsibility to spend on their children in ways that can help their proper upbringing. It was narrated that ‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Amr said: The Messenger of Allah (s) said: “It is sufficient sin for a man if he neglects those on whom he is obliged to spend” (Narrated by Abu Dawood, 1692; classed as sahan by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 4481)


(4) Your children deserve the right to proper education and upbringing

One of the most important facets of raising children is for the parents to provide them with the right training. According to Islamic traditions, the best gift that parents can provide to their children is training that can help them live as responsible Muslim adults fulfilling the rights of Allah and others. This, then, can lead them to succeed in the hereafter as well. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi va sallam) said, “The best gift to children from parents is their correct training” (Tirmizi).


(5) Treat your children fairly

All children within a family have their own rights to be treated fairly. This right was referred to by the Prophet (s) in the saheeh hadeeth: “Fear Allah and treat your children fairly” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2447; Muslim, 1623).

Parents should not show undue preference to their children based on their gender or other criteria.

(6)Helping children to choose their role models

Role models help people to model their behavior and character after those personalities. Parents should, therefore, help their children choose their role models wisely. When teaching about Islam and its teachings, parents should help their children learn about the lives of the prophets, especially Prophet Muhammad (s), sahaba (prophet’s companions such as Abu Bakar, Umar, and so on), tabieen (the ones who followed the sahaba), other salaf (the likes of Hassan al-Basri, Muhammad ibn Sirin, Umar Ibn Abdul-Aziz, Ahmad bin Hanbal, etc.), and early Islamic scholars such as Ibne-Taymiyyah, Ibn Al-Qayyim, Ibn Katheer, and so on. 


(7) Teaching children knowledge of the Quran

In addition to teaching your children recitation of the Quran, knowledge of the Quran will help your children to think beyond the mundane matters of this life and instead develop elevated thinking that can enable them to ponder about critical issues that can help them reconcile the many confusing ideologies that the world will throw at them as they grow up. Getting them to start thinking about the reasons of their existence, their day to day struggles, and where the world is heading to will make them become more prudent in terms of their life’s priorities.


(cool Teach your children skills that lead to earning only Halal (legal)

Parents should spend their time, effort, and resources to help their children make the right choices for earning a living. In doing so, parents should stress the need for their children to pursue career paths that can provide them solely with Halal (legal) living. Islam places enormous emphasis on this subject and these teachings are clearly stated both in the Quran and hadith. In one case, the prophet (s) said:

“…Purify your food, your supplication will be accepted. By the one in whose hand lays the life of Muhammad, verily a servant places a morsel of Haram in his stomach (and as a result) forty days of worship will not be accepted from him.” (Recorded by Imam Tabrani).

if you are a muslim parent, and you take your children to non-muslim school where he/she will be taught how to sing/dance just because you think they're teaching well in that school than a muslim school know that you will be hold responsible on the day father will not able to suffice son, nor son father! let's fear Allah! be a good muslim, try your best to make your children better than you in religious practice by enrolling them in 'ile-keu' (arabic school)

Prophet Muhammad (s) said: “Every one of you (people) is responsible, and everyone is responsible for whatever falls under his responsibility. A man is like a shepherd of his own family, and he is responsible for them” (Bukhari and Muslim).

Muhammad and Allah never hid their hatred for Christians and Jews, and that's what they passed down to you his followers. There's nothing like love your neighbours as yourself in Islam. So Antichristian is only practicing the hatred Islam put in him


Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:Do not greet the Jews and the Christians before they greet you and when you meet any one of them on the roads force him to go to the narrowest part of it.
-Sahih muslim 2167a


Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab: That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: If I live - if Allah wills - I will expel the Jews and the Christians from the Arabian Peninsula.
-Jami at-tirmidhi 1606


Jabir bin ‘Abd Allah said that he was told by ‘Umar bin Al Khattab that he heard the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) say “I will certainly expel the Jews and the Christians from Arabia and I shall leave only Muslims in it.”
-Sunan Abi Dawud 3030



يٰٓأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصٰرٰىٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ  ۘ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ بَعْضٍ  ۚ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ مِّنْكُمْ فَإِنَّهُۥ مِنْهُمْ  ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِينَ
"O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people."

Antichristian not antichrist.

Christ is one thing and christianity (the religion of paul) is another thing. They are completely different, don't mix them up.

Religion of hate

Lol. The hypocrisy and betrayals that the Jews and Christians of Madina displayed is well documented in the books of history.

They even supported the idol worshippers against the Muslims in the battle of Ahzaab despite all the freedom they enjoyed under the Islamic rule. Freedom and security that they didn't have access to before Islam.

They deserved what they got. On fact in modern warfare, they would have been lined up and shot dead, one after the other.

When your coward prophet ran to Yathrib, the Jews housed him and accommodated him but the moment he got soldiers to fight for him by promising them virgins in heaven, he turned against his hosts and had them beheaded, about 700 of them in a single day even when they didn't fight him.

That's why he never had peace even at death and forced you his followers to be praying peace for him.

He paid back good done to him with evil, he will continue to reap the fruits for eternity

The only crime of the Jews was asking Muhammad for the proof of the prophethood.

Muhammad lied to them that he was prophesied in the Jewish scriptures, then they asked him to show them and he couldn't, then he got angry.


They asked me to show the proof that he was a prophet of God by performing just a single miracle like other real Prophets, he couldn't, he then got angry and have them killed.

He beheaded them in cold blood, they never took up arms against him. Boko Haram learnt beheading from Muhammad.

Firstly, it was the aws and khazraj tribes that accommodated the prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم). They were formerly idol worshippers, they weren't Jews or Christians.

The Jewish tribes in Madina then were banu Qoynuqa, banu nadhir and banu Quraydha. They refused to accept Islam despite seeing all the signs of prophethood on Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) out of jealousy that he wasn't from their tribe.

Secondly, I've mentioned earlier that the Jews and Christians of banu Qoynuqa displayed so much hypocrisy, envy and hate to the extent that they claimed to accept Islam but never accepted it in their hearts. When they meet the Muslims they say "we're together" but when they meet their leaders they say "We were only deceiving those Muslims and making jest of them".

They even went to open their side of the city for the idol worshippers against the Muslims despite promising the Muslims undiluted loyalty.

Finally, regarding cowardice. Who's more cowardly than a person who tells lies to his fellow man just to avoid battle?! Compare that treacherous act to a man who led 300+ Muslims against 1000+ pagans.

You're only desperate.

Can you prove this from the authentic hadith or Sira?

The Jewish tribes in Madina then were banu Qoynuqa, banu nadhir and banu Quraydha. They refused to accept Islam despite seeing all the signs of prophethood on Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) out of jealousy that he wasn't from their tribe.
What signs did Muhammad show them to prove that he was not a false prophet?
He failed all the test they gave him and that confirmed their suspicion

Secondly, I've mentioned earlier that the Jews and Christians of banu Qoynuqa displayed so much hypocrisy, envy and hate to the extent that they claimed to accept Islam but never accepted it in their hearts. When they meet the Muslims they say "we're together" but when they meet their leaders they say "We were only deceiving those Muslims and making jest of them".

They even went to open their side of the city for the idol worshippers against the Muslims despite promising the Muslims undiluted loyalty.
I'm happy you couldn't prove that they took arms against Muhammad, Muhammad simply killed them because they refused to fall for his lies that he was a prophet, why kill people because they refused to believe your lies?


Finally, regarding cowardice. Who's more cowardly than a person who tells lies to his fellow man just to avoid battle?! Compare that treacherous act to a man who led 300+ Muslims against 1000+ pagans.

The coward is the liar who said that there's no compulsion in religion when he didn't have soldiers but turned back and said kill them until they accept our religion, the moment he recruited fighters and started raiding caravans and stealing from them to equip his army
