Disadvantage of not giving Islamic upbringing to children

A person said to his father: You wasted me [by not bringing me up as per Islamic teachings] in my childhood, therefore now I will waste you in your old age. (Fayz-ul-Qadeer, vol. 1, pp. 292, Taht-al-Hadees 311)

When a childless person blessed with a child

In his book, ‘Call to Righteousness’, Ameer Ahl-e-Sunnat Allamah Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadiri دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ has mentioned: There was a rich person who had no child. He made great efforts for a child but could not succeed. Someone advised him to go to sacred Makkah and in Makkah go inside Masjid Haraam near Maqam-e-Ibrahim and make Du’a, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه   your desire will be fulfilled. He did the same and Allah Almighty blessed him with a beautiful son. He brought him up with great elegance. Since the child was the only child he was given too much love, but not correct upbringing due to which he became profligate and extravagant. His father realized it very late and stopped giving money to his son. When he stopped giving his son money, he opposed his father and went to Makkah Mukarramah near Maqam-e-Ibrahim – where his father made Du’a for a child and as a result he was born - and started making Du’as for the death of his father so that he could inherit his father’s wealth from him. (Nayki ki Da’wat, pp. 577)

Dear Islamic sisters! It has become obvious that becoming heedless of giving correct Islamic upbringing to children can make parents feel regret and can bring shame on them. They, therefore, should wake up to the fact, learn the rules of bringing up their children and should not ignore Shar’i commandments regarding the matters of children. Make your child the obedient bondman to Allah Almighty and the true slave of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Continue to make your efforts to make your character as per Sunnah. In order to attain this mind-set associate yourselves with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami, the Madani movement of devotees of Rasool, and become busy serving Sunnahs.
