Islam is a religion of nature and it has guided humanity in each era, whether it has to be a person’s private life or be it society's collective issues and matters. The interpretation of Islam in these regards are very clear. In order to build the human society as per the Qur'anic verses, the Prophet Mohammed PBUH, practically created an ideal Islamic society. In this society, young or old, wealthy or poor, and man or woman all have rights. As a result of this, in the darkness of ignorance, the lost humanity has been able to track the path to
success.Islam has set rules for the guidance of every community of society. These include the principles of education and training of children. In the Holy Quran children have been referred in various places as an apple of the eye and blessings of life. Our dear Prophet
PBUH described children as flowers and butterflies from heaven. Compassion and love that our Prophet had with children will serve as a beacon for parents until the end. Our dear Prophet Mohammad PBUH loved children of every color race and caste without any prejudices.On the occasion of Eid, He took home an orphan who was wearing old, torn and shabby clothes. Gave him new clothes and made him celebrate Eid along with other children. Whenever something delicious in a new meal would be served, he would distribute it among the children first.
Children are the blossoming flowers in our lives, and the bright hope for our future, they intend to be the calmness to our souls. We should nurture and take care of them as delicately as possible, with our full attention.
“When a man dies, his action discontinues from him except three things, namely, perpetual sadaqah (charity), or the knowledge by which benefit is acquired, or a pious child who prays for him.” [Sunan Abi Dawud] Children are born pure. Parents have a responsibility to lead and guide their children. Leading and guiding are done with kindness and mercy. Children need boundaries and responsibilities.
