பிள்ளைகள்: வெகுமதிகள், அமானிதங்கள், சோதனைகள்

3 October 2025

Children are indeed blessings, and at the same time, a test upon both parents. Through children, one is tested as to how steadfast he remains in obeying Allah.

Raising children is both an blessing and a test – a reflection of how steadfast we remain in our obedience to Allah. Prioritising our relationship with Allah should inspire, not diminish, our care and attention towards our children. In fact, the stronger our devotion to Allah, the greater our commitment to nurture, support, and guide them in the best manner possible. 

In raising children, there are three pillars we should prioritise: 

  1. Religious education as the foundation of faith and identity. 

  2. Development of noble character to guide them through life’s challenges. 

  3. Social responsibility to instil compassion for others.
