Book Name:Aulad Ki Tarbiat Or Walidain Ki Zimmedariyan

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Dear Islamic brothers! Have you noticed how good upbringing Sayyiduna Shaykh Kirmaani رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, who was a renowned saint of the time, gave to his daughter and how excellent the Tawakkul [absolute trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ] of his daughter was! She did not get angry with her husband for not having facilities and enormous wealth in the home, but rather she made a complaint about the stale bread that her husband saved for Iftari because according to her it was against Tawakkul [absolute trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ].

This princess must have got this Madani thought by virtue of the Madani Tarbiyyat [upbringing] of her honourable father Sayyiduna Shaykh Kirmaani رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه who himself was a pious and abstinent saint and had absolute trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Therefore, he gave Madani upbringing to his daughter in the same manner and chose for her the person who worshipped Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ a lot so that the blessings of piety and abstinence could also be transferred to their generations because if a person himself is righteous so by virtue of his virtuous deeds his generations also gain benefit.

(Durr-e-Mansoor, vol. 5, pp. 422, part 16, Taht-al-Ayah 82)

Dear Islamic brothers! In our society, parents are extremely negligent in the matter of giving upbringing to their children perhaps because they were themselves not well brought up. Of course, how can the one, who himself is unaware of Shar’i rulings and needs good upbringing, give upbringing to others? Therefore when these liberal parents receive a proposal of marriage for their daughters, they prefer the boy who is rich, possesses different degrees of arts and sciences and belongs to a modern family. They do not bother about the matters that the boy does not offer even one time Salah, commits sins openly, earn Haraam livelihood, is notorious for his cheating, does not know even the necessary rulings of Islam, in short he does not follow the teachings of Islam. On the other hand, if someone suggests them to marry their daughter to a boy whose income is low, but 100% Halal, can fulfil the rights of his wife, who is pious, abstinent and religious, who is the embodiment of
