In relation to this part of the verse ‘یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا قُوْۤا اَنْفُسَكُمْ وَ اَهْلِیْكُمْ نَارًا’, Sadr-ul-Afadil, ‘Allamah Maulana Sayyid Mufti Na’eem-ud-Deen Muradabadiرَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه mentions in Khaza`in-ul-‘Irfan: (Save yourself and your household from the fire) by adopting the obedience of Allah Almighty and that of His Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, performing worship, refraining from sins, instructing the household upon righteousness and refraining them from evil, and teaching them knowledge and etiquette.

The Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: You all are leaders and rulers of your dependants. And every one of you will be questioned on the Day of Judgement regarding his dependants. (Bukhari, vol. 1, pp. 309, Hadees 893)

The one who has no one under him is the leader of his limbs, acts, statements and moments. He will be held responsible for all of these. (Nuzhat-ul-Qaari, vol. 2, pp. 530 summarised)

Dear Islamic brothers! Parents should realise their responsibility and take care of the Madani upbringing of their children. They should make them steadfast upon offering Salah and observing Sawm.

The best way to achieve this is by making your children do Dars-e-Nizami (scholar course) so that our children teach others after acquiring ‘ilm-e-Deen and become a means of our salvation in the Hereafter.           

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, for the completion of this purpose, Jami’ah-tul-Madinahs of the Madani movement of the devotees of Rasool, Dawat-e-Islami, are established.
