3 June 2011 / 1 Rejab 1432

Page 2: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

Let us contemplate on the words of Allah:

Page 3: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child
Page 4: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

“ And those who pray said: ‘O Allah, bless us with pious wives and offspring who are appeasing to our eyes,

Page 5: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

“ ...bring blessings to our lives and guide us so that we will be a people with taqwa.”

Al-Furqan ayat:74

Page 6: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

In nurturing the ideal child…

Page 7: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

...surely pure aspiration of both parents would not be su!cient.

Page 8: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

Instead it needs constant nurturing, guidance and teachings from both

parents from a young age.

Page 9: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

Amongst the things that we can do...

Page 10: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

First

Page 11: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

Inculcating our Islamic teachings and values in the

lives of our children

Page 12: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

This includes the practice of daily prayers and the manifestation of Islamic values in our daily lives.

Page 13: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

Through the noble values we manifest, it will be emulated and embodied by our young.

Page 14: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

This would facilitate the child’s learning process as the child would already have been used to practising good values...

Page 15: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

...even before then gradually appreciating its meaning as

they grow older.

Page 16: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

Secondly

Page 17: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

Spending quality time with our children

Page 18: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

Let us try to perform congregational prayers together as a family at least once a day or once a week.

Page 19: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

Then, share with our children the life stories of Prophet s.a.w. or other successful personalities.

Page 20: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

Do remember to relate these stories to the various challenges

our children face in their daily lives as children or teenagers.

Page 21: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

By establishing a strong rapport since young,

Page 22: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

our relationship and bond with our children will be stronger

resulting in bringing them closer to us.

Page 23: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

This in turn will make it easier for us to advice them from

time to time.

Page 24: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

Thirdly

Page 25: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

Do remember to correct and explain our children’s

mistakes...

Page 26: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

...while they are still young, so that they may remain guided.

Page 27: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

Let us internalise Luqman Al-Hakim’s advice to his child...

Page 28: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

“ O my child, perform your prayers, perform and obey His commands,

Page 29: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

“ O my child, perform your prayers, perform and obey His commands, abstain from what He prohibits and be patient with the calamities that have fallen on you.

Page 30: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

“ Indeed, those are issues that require immediate attention.”

Surah Luqman:17

Page 31: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

Apart from developing strong bonding with our children...

Page 32: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

...there is also a need to instill in them strong religious values

from young.

Page 33: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

This educational process can be further enhanced...

Page 34: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

...if parents take a more active role by getting their children to share and discuss what they have learnt from

the lessons,

Page 35: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

to enable them to have a better understanding of how it can be

practiced.

Page 36: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

May Allah shower us with blessings and wisdom to guide our children to be pious and righteous

children.

Page 37: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

...and protect us and our children from the degradation of the world

and hereafter.

Page 38: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

May Allah bless our children...

Page 39: 3 things parents can do in nurturing the ideal child

...so that they will bring goodness and prosperity wherever they are.
