40 Hadith Pertaining to Children

“O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, over which are [appointed] angels, harsh and severe; they do not disobey Allaah in what He commands them but do what they are commanded.” [66:6]

It is the responsibility of every parent to ensure that their children are raised upon correct Islamic teachings. The religion places great emphasis concerning their upbringing since they will be the carriers of Islaam. It is these children that will preserve the deen in the future and so it is imperative that we pay attention to their education and upbringing in order to raise a generation of good Muslims. If they are set aright they will support the religion of Islaam – spreading it and calling to it. For this reason it is vital that we are well-equipped with the knowledge and tools required to bring about an upright righteous generation who will, by the permission of Allaah, bring greater good and benefit with the following generation.
