spreading or folding a dining cloth, folding or spreading bedding, opening or expanding a shop, locking or unlocking a door, applying oil, using perfume, delivering a speech, reciting a naat, wearing shoes, and tying a turban. In short, reciting it before every lawful action, provided there is no prohibition, is a means of attaining abundant blessings.

Dear Islamic brothers! We should also follow the example of our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم by not only practising his Sunnah but also ensuring the proper Islamic upbringing of our children. Instead of teaching them words like "tata" or "papa", teach them to mention the name of Allah from the very beginning. While playing with them, repeatedly say "Allah, Allah" with the intention of teaching them. By doing this, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه, the child’s first word will be "Allah".

When they start speaking more, then teach them to recite the Kalima Ṭayyiba: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَّسُولُ اللہِ. Some people teach their children that Allah is above. As a result, when these children are affectionately asked, "Son! Where is Allah?" they immediately point towards the sky. Children should never be taught such gestures.

Remember! The best time to nurture children is during childhood, because good habits that can be instilled at this stage cannot be taught so easily later in life. If, instead of teaching a child to say "tata" or "bye bye", you teach them to greet others with salaam, then اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه, that habit will remain throughout their life. Likewise, If the habit of speaking the truth is instilled at a young age, they will avoid lying for the rest of their life.

Similarly, if children are accustomed from an early age to eating and drinking, sitting and standing, wearing clothes and shoes, tying a turban, and combing their hair according to the Sunnah, they will not only continue to practise these blessed habits themselves, but these good qualities will influence other children they spend time with.

However, if children are not raised correctly and they adopt the path of sin, they become a cause of disgrace for their parents in this world and a cause of accountability for their parents in the Hereafter. Sayyidunā ꜤAbdullāh b. ꜤUmar رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا said to a person: "Give your child a good upbringing because you will
