Then the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم asked: ‘Ya Rasoolallah               صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! How shall we save our household from the fire?’ The Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied: ‘Command them to perform those actions that are liked by Allah Almighty and refrain them from those actions that are disliked by Allah Almighty.’ (Durr-e-Mansoor, vol. 8, pp. 225)

2. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated: ‘Educate your children about three traits.          (1) Love of your Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم (2) Love of Ahl-e-Bayt and               (3) Teaching of the Holy Quran. (Jami’ Sagheer, pp. 25, Hadees 311)

3. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated: ‘Offspring has the right upon the father that the father keeps a good name for him and teaches him good manners. (Shu’ab-ul-Iman, Hadees 6, 6, 8658/400)

4. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated: ‘No father has given his child any such gift that is better than good manners.’ (Tirmizi, vol. 3, pp. 383  Hadees 1959)

In relation to this blessed Hadees, the renowned commentator of the Holy Quran a great thinker of the Ummah, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi          رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه states: ‘Good manners refer to making the child religious, pious and abstinent. What else would be a better gift for the child than this as it is useful for the child in this world as well as in the Deen (religious matters). Parents should not depart this life by making their children only rich, but they should depart this life by making them pious which would also benefit them in their graves too. As in the grave, the deceased receives the reward of the righteous actions of the living offspring. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 6, pp. 565)
