Imam JaꜤfar al-Ṣādiq’s رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ عَلَیْہ Advice to His Son
Regarding how to raise children, let us now look at three beautiful hadith of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
What the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said about raising children
1. When the Final Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم recited the following words of the Quran:
قُوۡۤا اَنۡفُسَکُمۡ وَ اَہۡلِیۡکُمۡ نَارًا
Save yourselves and your families from the Fire.[1]
the Companions رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم heard this and asked, “O Messenger of Allah! How can we save our families from the Fire?” In response he explained, “Tell them to do what Allah likes, and forbid them from what He dislikes.”[2]
2. “Teach your children three qualities: love for your Prophet, love for his family, and recital of the Quran.”[3]
3. “No father gave his children a gift better than good manners.”[4]
Muftī Aḥmad Yār Khān NaꜤīmī interprets this hadith by saying:
Good manners here refer to making one’s child pious. What could be a better gift for children from their parents, that helps them in both religious and worldly matters? Parents should make sure not to leave this world having just made their children wealthy. They should make them religious and pious, as this will help them in
