مری آنے والی نسلیں تیرے عشق ہی میں مچلیں

انہیں نیک تُو بنانا مدنی مدینے والے!

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب    صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! It has become obvious that the parents whose children are righteous and act upon Quran and Sunnah and are Haafiz of Quran will be made to wear the precious crown the light of which will be like the sun. Such fortunate people will be made to wear very expensive dress on the Judgement Day. Their ranks will be elevated in Paradise. Hence perform virtuous deeds, recite the Holy Quran, have fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ in your heart not only yourself, but giving Tarbiyyat to your children also make their mind right from the beginning to have fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. If they develop Divine fear right from their childhood, they will protect themselves from sins throughout their life. Let’s listen to a faith-refreshing parable about it in order to develop Divine fear in children.

Divine fear of a real Madani child

Once a four-year old real Madani child, who was a descendant of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, was bitterly crying in a marketplace. A person, who was very enthusiastic about serving the descendants of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, asked, ‘O Beloved son! What’s the matter? If you need anything, order me. I will bring it right now.’ Hearing this, the sound of Madani child’s cry grew louder. He then said, ‘O uncle! My heart is sinking out of the wrath of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and the fear of the torment of Hell!’ The person said affectionately, ‘Beloved son! You are very young; what is the cause of having so much fear at this age? Do not get worried! Children will not be tormented.’ Listening to this, the Madani child became even more fearful and said tearfully, ‘O uncle! I have seen that small pieces of wood are put around large pieces of wood in order to burn them, because small pieces of wood catch fire quickly, causing also the large pieces to burn. I fear being thrown into fire in place of small wood pieces to burn ‘big’ non-Muslims like Abu Jahl and Abu Lahab in Hell!’ (Anees-ul-Wa’izeen, pp. 75, amended)
