Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: Whatever important piece of work is not started with ‘بِسْمِ اللہ’, it remains incomplete. (Durr-e-Mansoor, 1/26)

Dear Islamic brothers! Therefore, before eating anything, drinking water and any beverage, serving food and water to others, putting things down, picking things up, washing, cooking, reciting, learning, teaching, walking, driving, getting up, sitting down, turning on the light or the fan, laying or removing the dining mat, folding or spreading the bed or bed sheet, opening or closing the shop, locking or unlocking, applying oil or itr (perfume), delivering a speech, reciting a Na’at, wearing shoes, adorning one’s head with Imamah (Islamic turban), opening or closing the door, that is to say, before starting any permissible act (when there is no Shar’i prohibition), it is of great virtue to make a habit of reciting ‘بِسْمِ اللہ’ for attaining its blessings.

Dear Islamic brothers! We should all teach our children to mention the name of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ from their early age instead of teaching them such words as ‘Tata’ or ‘Papa.’ Not only will the deceased parents receive the blessings of this, the one teaching and the one learning will also gain its immense blessings. Therefore, whilst playing with your children, repeatedly say ‘Allah’ ‘Allah’ to them with the intention of teaching them. As soon as they are able to speak, they will be reciting the word ‘Allah’ before they learn to speak any other word.

When they learn to speak further, teach them to say Kalimah Tayyibah (Statement of Faith) ‘لَآ اِلٰہَ اِلَّاا للہُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَّسُوْلُ اللہِ’. Some people teach their children that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is above, so, when these kids are asked about Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, they immediately raise their finger towards the sky. Don’t teach such type of gestures to your children at all. Remember! Childhood is the best time of providing proper Tarbiyyat (training) to children because the virtuous and righteous act that is taught to a child in his childhood, can never be taught at any other stage of his life. If a child is taught how to say Salaam instead of Tata Bye Bye, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, he will never forget it throughout his life. If a child is taught to speak the truth in his tender age, he will hate lying all his life; similarly, if he becomes habitual of carrying out all acts according to
