FAMILY MANAGEMENT & PARENTING ( CCFM 2052 )
SECTION 34
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF PARENTS IN DEVELOPING CHILDRENS
BEHAVIOUR
Al-Quran requires all parents to make some efforts in ensuring their children know
deeply about Allah and all things about Islam. This is not a choice. But this task is the duty of
every parent to a child. And this obligation will be questioned by Allah SWT in the Hereafter.
Allah has warned the parent who does not honor the obligation. It is stated in Quran ;
O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is
people and stones, over which are [appointed] angels, harsh and severe; they do not
disobey Allah in what He commands them but do what they are commanded.
( Surah At-Tahrim 66 : 6 )
Islam is a perfect religion. Islam has taught all aspects of life, including the right of
children to be met by both parents. One of the childrens right is the parents should find a
good partner for their future generations. Prophet has taught young people who want to get
married to choose righteous women or men.
Prophet Muhammad ( PBUH ) said,A woman is married for four things; her wealth,
noble descent, beauty and religion. So, marry a woman for her religion or you will be a
loser.
( Bukhari )
Secondly, during the pregnancy, the mother shall take care the baby within the
mother's womb. Note that about the health of the baby, or even traits that will be passed from
mother to child because it may become the behaviour of that child later on. That is why some
mothers especially those who are previously outspoken, at sudden they are very careful when
they want to say something. They believe that whatever they say and do, it will pass to their
child. Thus, most Muslim mothers will listen to Quranic ayat during the pregnancy as they
want their child to become hafiz and hafizah.
