Holy Quran so that he could attain some spirituality. He must be murmuring something out of heedlessness. In the meanwhile, you would have come in front of him. He would have thought that the bull has come in the way. So in order to drive him out of the way, he would have struck you with something on your head! Be grateful that your head did not split open.’ (Tanbih-ul-Ghafileen, pp. 68)

Now, let us listen to a narration and develop a mind-set to provide Madani upbringing to our children.

Virtuous deeds to the size of mountain went in vain

(On the Day of Judgement), wife and children of a person will plea in the court of Allah Almighty: ‘O our merciful Lord! Make us get our right from this person because he did not teach us the rulings of our religion, and he used to feed us Haraam but we were unaware of it.’ Therefore, he will be beaten so much due to (earning and feeding) Haraam livelihood that his flesh will fall off. Then, he will be brought towards Meezan [the scale]. Angels will bring his virtuous deeds to the size of mountains. Then one person from his household will take some share from his virtuous deeds. Then another person will come forward and he will fill his shortage (of good deeds) from his virtuous deeds. (This way, all his virtuous deeds will be taken away by his household). Now he will address his household and say: ‘I am burdened with only those sins that I committed for your sake.’ The angels will announce: ‘This is the person whose all virtuous deeds have been taken away by his household and he entered Hell because of them.’ (Qurra-tul-‘Uyoon, pp. 401)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب    صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Did you hear that what great disgrace and humility those parents face who do not provide their children with a Madani upbringing, and do not impart knowledge and teach manners to them. Therefore, while proving to be good parents, teach your children the love of the Holy Quran and a mind-set to act upon its commandments.
