preference is being given to worldly education. Heavy fees are paid and all luxuries and facilities are provided to English medium schools so that children’s worldly future can become bright, they can get good jobs and have lots of bank balance. For achieving this purpose, parents even send their children abroad for studies. In this way, for getting worldly education a child becomes a devoted worldly man, a good businessman and a fashionable person, but not a righteous and practising Muslim.

Advising Muslims to give good upbringing to their children Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: It is a common practice amongst Muslims that they do not take care of the manners of their children in their childhood.

They learn how to get work done by servants, but not by themselves. Now for spending college-like life they become noble bullies or by making fake notes, spend their life in jail or they become robbers and wicked people. The children who are not provided with good company in their childhood trouble their parents a lot when they grow up. We have seen the parents of great fashionable sons complaining, ‘Please Mufti Sahib, give
