1. The unique child Understand that each child is born with individual, inherited personality traits that are beyond our control as parents. It’s for us as parents to identify the unique characteristics and behavior of our children. Also know that children cannot be molded or pushed in directions we like. When we understand this we will be able to provide them with the guidance, nurturing and support they need to fulfill the potential Allah has bestowed them with. 2. Embed the love and power of Allah in your children Teach them to say “la-illaha illa Allah” (there is no god but Allah) as a start of establishing the love of Allah. Allah says: “O ye who believe, save yourself and your family from the fire.” [Quran: Chapter 6, Verse 66] Instill in them the belief that all things happen by the will of Allah : if they ask you for something, ask them to pray two rakaahs with you and make du’aa to Allah to provide whatever they want. This way, you’re teaching your child that when we ask, we ask from Allah alone, and we rely on Allah for our provision. Teach them to love Allah and follow His laws through your conversations with them. It’s absolutely crucial for our children to understand why we have to obey Allah and His laws – it’s the essence of our worship.
