Ten Things To Hand Down To Your Children
(1) Knowledge Of & Love FOR Allah & His Deen (Islam)
This is one of the most precious and enduring gifts you can pass
down to your Children, one that will benefit them in their life and the next.
Send your children to best possible school and let them learn the best they can.
(2) Memorization Of The Quran.
No matter how little you have memorized yourself,
push your children to memorize as much they can.
Encourage them and help them to revise. It will stand them in good stead in
their life and will be a source of reward for you after your death as well.
(3) A Good Example Of Muslim Womanhood.
Most girls look to their mothers for Guidance.
Embody the characteristics of a strong,
faithful Muslimah and she will be inspired to follow your example.
Teach her best of manners and Ask her to remain calm in critical conditions.
(4) A Sense Of Self-Worth & Self-Esteem
Instill a sense of confidence in your child by encouraging their skills,
talents and personality to develop.
Make them feel secure in their identity and show them that they are loved
and appreciated. This will have a positive impact on them future relationships
and how they interacts with the world.
(5) A Sense Of Modesty
Instill a love for Hijab in your children and encourage them
to be modest, never boastful or conceited, in all areas of their life.
(6) Your Language
If you speak Arabic be sure to teach it to them so that they has the key
to the understanding of the Quran. Also,
if you have a mother tongue or speak a second language yourself,
pass it on: a second or third language is always an asset,
whether in study, work or social environment.
(7) A Skill That You Have
If you are an avid gardener, knitter or love painting,
pass your skill onto your children.
With so many traditional skills being lost in today's fast-paced world,
you owe it to them to share your knowledge and pass it on to the next generation.
(Your Favorite Recipes
Yes, teach your daughter how to cook!
Be it from a cookbook, an original recipe or passed down from your mother
or even your grandmother, we all have our own trademark recipes:
pass them on to your daughter and encourage her to develop some specialties of her own.
(9) HouseKeeping Skills
Instill good housekeeping habits in all your children and encourage them
to take pride in a neat and tidy home.
Pass any tricks or shortcuts on so that your daughter is well-equipped when she has a home of her own.
(10) Your Family History
Give them a sense of their roots and heritage by sharing your family story with them.
Acquaint them with their family tree and teach them the lessons learned
by the different generations. Hopefully, they will do the same with their children, InshaAllah.
سُوۡرَةُ الاٴنعَام
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
کہہ دو کہ میری نماز اور میری عبادت اور میرا جینا اور میرا مرنا سب خدائے رب العالمین ہی کے لیے ہے (۱۶۲)
