IS YOUR CHILD DISOBEDIENT TO YOU? WHY?
WHAT ARE THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF PARENTS?

A man once came to Umar Ibn Al-Khattab (r.a.), the second Khalifah of Islam, complaining of his son's disobedience to him. Umar (r.a.) summoned the boy and spoke of his disobedience to his father and his neglect of his rights.

The boy replied: "O Amir al-Mu'miniin! Hasn't a child rights over his father?"
"Certainly," replied Umar.
"What are they, Amir al-Mu'miniin?"
"That he should choose his mother, give him a good name and teach him the book (The Qur'an)."
"O Amir al-Muminiin! My father did nothing of this. My mother was a Magian (fire worshipper). He gave me the name Ju'alaan (meaning dung beetle or scarab) and he did not teach me a single letter of the Qur'an."

Turning to the father, Umar (r.a.) said: "You have come to me to complain about the disobedience of your son. You have failed in your duty to him before he has failed in his duty to you, you have done wrong to him before he has wronged you."

EDUCATING OUR CHILDREN

There are numerous advantages for parents both in this world and in the hereafter, when they provide proper Islamic education for their children. The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: "A father can't give his son anything better than a good education." (Tirmizi)

MAKTAB TIMING: Monday - Friday: 3:45 pm to 6:00 pm

At our Maktab, we try our best to ensure every student receives a high quality of education.

Allah says: “But say: “O my Lord! Increase me in knowledge”.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever seeks a way to acquire knowledge Allah will make easy his way to Paradise.” [Sahîh Muslim (2699)]
It was also related by Anas b. Malik that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Seeking knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim.” [Sunan Ibn Mâjah (224) and others]
Imam Ahmad b. Hanbal had said: “We will accompany the inkpot until our death.”
And Allah knows best.
