Hello friends

    I hope all of you are sound and safe. As I wrote about how to raise children in my previous blog, I will continue it in this and let me finish it.

In the name of Allah the Beneficent the most Merciful.
All praise is due to Allah the Almighty, Lord of the Universe.
May peace and blessings be upon Prophet Muhammad s.a.w, His beloved Messenger.

    In today's life both the parents work to earn a luxurious life. Every one needs a massive house, expensive cars and bikes, branded accessories just to lead a luxurious life in "comparison" to others. Why can't we be satisfied with a house that is sufficient to lead a life beneath a safety roof? We just need a transport to travel from place to place to meet our needs and get our work done. But why do we need it to be expensive? All these will go out of our hands today or tomorrow. These are not going to help you in your oldage nor in the time of your need nor after you die. But those children whom we gave time from their early start will help us in the end and will be grateful after we die for the way we brought up them. If our children become righteous then Allah will make our grave a garden of heaven and if they become wrong does then our grave will be a pit of hell. With no proper upbringing we are spoiling our upcoming generations by spoiling the life and character and intellect of our children.
Our beloved Prophet may peace be upon him said “Respect your children. If you do so, they will return the same with the due respect.”
Our beloved Prophet's (may peace be upon him) and His beloved daughter Fatimah's (may Allah be pleased with him) homes were  just besides to each other. She used to visit her father each and every day. What does our Prophet used to do whenever his daughter visited him? He would have either sat on a chair or on the floor or He would be lying on the floor. When He saw that His daughter is about to enter the home He would immediately stand up from yhe position in which ever He was. He did not just stood rather He would go to the door to receive her then He would hold her right hand as He reach the door and would kiss her hand then He would bring her in to the home by holding her hand and first He would make her sit down later He used to sit. This one incident of our Prophet's life of being the best Dad is the ultimate expample for us to how to bring up our children.
What are we doing with our children?  Neither we give them love nor care nor tjme nor respect. Especially the mobile phones have destroyed everything. A child is saying something to his mom but she is busy on her phone. He asks her to listen to him and to pay attention to him. She says, “yeah I'm hearing just tell what you want to say”. Hearing and listening are two different criteria. Hearing is the ability whereas Listening is an act of kindness.
