الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُهُ
Hvala pripada Allahu; Njega hvalimo, od Njega pomoć tražimo i od Njega oprost molimo.

وَنَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شُرُورِ أَنْفُسِنَا وَمِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ أَعْمَالِنَا مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ، وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ
Utječemo se Allahu od zla naših duša i od naših loših djela. Koga Allah uputi, njega niko ne može zavesti, a koga On ostavi u zabludi, njega niko ne može uputiti.

وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ
Svjedočim da nema boga osim Allaha, Jedinog, Koji nema sudruga, i svjedočim da je Muhammed Njegov rob i poslanik.

أَرْسَلَهُ اللَّهُ بِالْحَقِّ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا وَسِرَاجًا مُنِيرًا لِيُنْذِرَ مَنْ كَانَ حَيًّا وَيَحِقَّ الْقَوْلُ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَأَصْحَابِهِ الْكِرَامِ الْهُدَاةِ الْمُهْتَدِينَ وَسَلَّمَ تَسْلِيمًا كَثِيرًا إِلَى يَوْمِ الدِّينِ
Allah ga je poslao s istinom kao donosioca radosnih vijesti, opominjača i svjetiljku koja sija, da opominje one čija su srca živa i da se obistini Riječ protiv nevjernika (Ja-Sin, 70). Neka Uzvišeni Allah blagoslovi njega i njegovu dobru i čistu porodicu i njegove plemenite ashabe, upućene koji su i druge upućivali, i neka mu podari obilan selam do Sudnjeg dana.
- 1:19
قَالَ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ الْكَرِيمِ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ
Allah kaže u Svojoj plemenitoj Knjizi: „O vjernici, bojte se Allaha onako kako Ga se treba bojati i ne umirite drugačije nego kao muslimani!“ (Ali Imran, 102). A zatim:
- 1:37
…svjetova, Gospodaru Sudnjeg dana, Gospodaru džinna i ljudi. Neka je salavat i selam na Njegovog Poslanika, miljenika Muhammeda, sallallahu alejhi ve sellem, na njegovu porodicu, na njegove drugove ashabe i na sve one koji slijede put, put Kur'ana, put sunneta Muhammeda, sallallahu alejhi ve sellem.
- 1:59
Draga braćo, cijenjene džematlije, naša djeca su naša odgovornost i naša obaveza. Allah nam, subhanehu ve te'ala, naređuje u Kur'anu da svoju djecu odgajamo, da se brinemo o svojoj djeci, riječima: „O vjernici, čuvajte sebe i svoju porodicu
- 2:40
vatre džehennemske, kojoj će ljudi i kamenje gorivo biti.“ Pa ovaj ajet je osnova i naredba očita od Allaha, subhanehu ve te'ala, da se trebamo brinuti o svojoj djeci u toku odrastanja, a i nakon toga, da ih na lijep način odgajamo. A da bi čovjek na lijep i na ispravan način odgojio svoje dijete, potrebno je nekoliko stvari.
- 3:18
Prva stvar je da čovjek upućuje dovu za svoje dijete, da se okrene Allahu, subhanehu ve te'ala. Obavještavajući nas o robovima Milostivog, u Kur'anu kaže Allah, subhanehu ve te'ala: „Gospodaru moj, učini da naše supruge, naša djeca budu radost očiju naših.“
- 4:06
Da budu naša radost, a ne naša žalost. Pa čovjek treba da dovi za svoje dijete, da moli Allaha, subhanehu ve te'ala, za svoje dijete. Također imamo dovu Ibrahima, alejhis-salatu ves-selam, gdje kaže Ibrahim, alejhis-salatu ves-selam: „Rabbidž'alni mukimes-salati ve min zurrijjeti, Rabbena ve tekabbel dua'“ – Gospodaru moj, učini mene i moje potomke od onih koji obavljaju namaz, koji ustraju na namazu. Također kaže Poslanik Muhammed, sallallahu alejhi ve sellem:
- 4:48
„Trojici se dova ne odbija“, među njima dova roditelja. Dova roditelja se [nejasno] za svoje dijete ne odbija. Pa kada roditelj zamoli Allaha za svoje dijete, Allah mu neće uzvratiti tu dovu. Zato je mnogo bitno da čovjek moli za svoje dijete, a ne protiv svoga djeteta. Pa ćemo vidjeti, nažalost, da puno roditelja proklinje svoju djecu dok su mala, zbog nekog malog šerra kojeg su počinili, i onda dijete, kada odraste,
- 5:31
Allah primi tu dovu i onda dijete bude neposlušno, loše, i tako dalje. Ja ne znam tim roditeljima gdje je pamet u takvim situacijama. Reci: „Allah te uputio, Allah te poživio, Allah te popravio“, a ne nešto drugo. Druga stvar jeste da roditelj bude uzor svome djetetu, da bude lijep primjer svome djetetu.
- 6:07
Prvo u pokornosti Allahu, a nakon toga da bude pošten, dobar, dobar vjernik. I onda dijete – šta radi dijete? Dijete imitira, slijedi svoga roditelja, slijedi svoga roditelja.
- 6:31
Ne može čovjek, kaže svome djetetu: „Evo ti za užinu 300 dinara, ali nemoj da ideš u kockarnicu“, a on sam ide u kockarnicu, on se sam kladi. Ne može čovjek da konzumira cigare i da kaže djetetu: „Nemoj slučajno da sam te vidio da si zapalio.“ Ili čovjek pije alkohol, ide svaku noć u kafanu, i kaže svome djetetu: „Nemoj da sam te vidio“, kaže, „da piješ alkohol.“ Kakav je to primjer? To nije primjer, nije to uzor.
- 7:13
Nego uzor – da čovjek bude pošten, dobar, i onda dijete, kada vidi da je njegov otac dobar, pošten, i ono će da ga slijedi u tome. Također, majka treba da bude primjer svojoj ćerki: u oblačenju, u ponašanju, u kući, van kuće.
- 7:36
Jer ako vidi ćerka da majka uzvraća na riječi svoga oca, naravno, ona sutra kad poraste, ona će isto to da radi. Zato je mnogo bitno da čovjek bude primjer svome djetetu, jer mi smo ogledalo naše djece.
- 7:55
Treća stvar jeste da se čovjek trudi, da ne odustaje u odgajanju svoje djece. Da ne odgaja danas dijete, a sutra ga prepusti ulici.
- 8:12
Kaže Allah, subhanehu ve te'ala, u Kur'anu, naređujući našem Poslaniku, riječima: „I naredi svojoj porodici da obavljaju namaz“, i šta? „Ustraj u tome.“
- 8:31
Nema odustajanja. Nego svakog dana da čovjek, da čovjek prati, gleda kako se njegovo dijete ponaša, je li se ponaša pravilno, i tako dalje.
- 8:49
Četvrta stvar jeste obezbjeđivanje sredstava koja koriste djetetu, koja koriste odgoju samog djeteta. Da čovjek uzme svoje dijete, da ga dovede u mekteb, da nauči osnove vjere, osnove lijepog ponašanja, da zna ko mu je Gospodar, ko mu je Poslanik, da zna kako da se ponaša prema roditeljima, prema komšijama; da uzme svoje dijete, da ga povede na predavanje; da uzme svoje dijete, da ga dovede na džumu, da ga posadi pored sebe.
- 9:34
To su sredstva. Ne mora samo na predavanje – neke korisne stvari, draga braćo: neka ga povede na časove edukacije, kako sačuvati životnu sredinu, časove istorije, geografije, sve ono što koristi, što je lijepo. Također, da ga udalji od sredstava koja uništavaju odgoj djeteta,
- 10:09
kao što su današnji telefoni, kao što su današnji sajtovi koji promovišu nemoralne stvari, nemoralne radnje; da ograniči djetetu telefon i igranje igrica koje promovišu nasilje.
- 10:36
Vidjeli smo, draga braćo, šta se desilo u Turskoj ovih dana. Da je igrica koja je igrana, pod nazivom PUBG, toliko uništila mozak te djece. Igrice koje promovišu nasilje, gdje imamo online chat, glasovni chat, gdje imamo i psovke i naređivanja, i tako, i tako dalje.
- 11:07
I onda šta imamo? Imamo dijete monstruma, koje će uzeti pištolj i otići i ubiti nekoliko svojih vršnjaka, ne… desetine, i onda na kraju samo izvršiti samoubistvo. Čovjek treba da prati ove trendove, da prati ove stvari, da ne prepušta svoje dijete ovim stvarima.
- 11:35
Šesta stvar, draga braćo, jeste da čovjek, jedan vjernik, jedan mu'min, upućuje svoje dijete na dobro društvo. Na društvo koje je dobro. Da ga ne pušta da se druži sa nevaspitanom djecom.
- 11:59
Kaže Poslanik Muhammed, sallallahu alejhi ve sellem: …pa neka dobro čovjek vidi sa kim se druži. Što bi rekli naši: s kim si, takav si.
- 12:20
Je li nekada zdrava jabuka učinila da one pokvarene postanu zdrave? Nikad. Jedna pokvarena jabuka pokvari na stotine zdravih jabuka.
- 12:39
I zato, draga braćo, trebamo svoju djecu upućivati na dobro društvo, ali ne samo svoju djecu, nego i sami sebe. I sami sebe. Sedma stvar jeste da je čovjek svjestan
- 12:56
da je odgajanje djece vjerska obaveza. Kao što ti je obaveza da klanjaš namaz, pet dnevnih namaza, kao što ti je obaveza da daješ zekat, kao što ti je obaveza da činiš dobročinstvo roditeljima, obaveza ti je da odgajaš djecu i da ih usmjeravaš na pravi put, jer inače bit ćeš veliki griješnik, kao što je veliki griješnik i onaj koji ostavlja namaz – mada ima tu dilema, ili je griješnik ili je nevjernik, ima veliko razilaženje među učenjacima –
- 13:38
ili onaj koji ostavlja zekat, davanje zekata, iz nemara, ili onaj koji je neposlušan roditeljima – to je veliki grijeh. I onaj ko ostavi odgajanje svoje djece, neka zna da je veliki, veliki griješnik.
- 13:57
Kaže Poslanik Muhammed, sallallahu alejhi ve sellem: „Kullukum ra'in“ – svako od vas je pastir, gazda u svojoj kući – „i svako od vas je“, šta? „Odgovoran za svoje stado“, za svoje ukućane. Svako od nas, glava kuće, je odgovoran za svoju porodicu, za svoju djecu, za svoju hanumu.
- 14:32
Također, od stvari koje pomažu da čovjek na ispravan način svoje dijete usmjeri, da ga vaspita, jeste da čovjek čita, iščitava biografije dobrih ljudi, Allahovih robova, i da vidi kako su oni vaspitavali svoju djecu, na koji način.
- 14:51
A najljepši primjer nam je kur'anski primjer dobrog čovjeka Lukmana. Suru Lukman uzme čovjek, pročita: na prvom mjestu naređuje mu da obožava samo Allaha, subhanehu ve te'ala, da Mu ne čini širk.
- 15:09
Na drugom, da bude pokoran roditeljima, to jest da bude onaj koji čini dobročinstvo svojim roditeljima, da ne hoda oholo zemljom, da je nepravda veliki grijeh, i tako dalje. Da se upozna sa tim biografijama.
- 15:32
Također, draga braćo, jeste da čovjek ne žuri sa rezultatima. Pa ako dijete danas ne posluša, poslušat će sutra, prekosutra, nakon sutra, i tako, i tako dalje. Ne smije čovjek nikako da pogriješi u odgoju svoje djece, pa da to dijete poslije pobjegne i od oca i od majke i od svega.
- 15:59
Već treba sabur, i da čovjek ne žuri, jer žurba je od šejtana. Žurba je od šejtana. I zadnja stvar, i možda najbitnija od svih ovih stvari, jeste da čovjek pazi na namaz svog djeteta.
- 16:24
Ali prvo mora da pazi na svoj namaz, da bi pazio na namaz svog djeteta. Jer to je kontakt između roba i Gospodara, to je kontakt između Allaha, subhanehu ve te'ala, i Njegovih robova. Kada se taj kontakt prekine, sve se gubi, sve je ostalo nebitno. Može onda biti i čovjek i ovo i ono, ali ako prekine kontakt sa Allahom, subhanehu ve te'ala, onda mu ovih devet stvari koje smo nabrojali ništa ne koristi. Ništa. Pa smo naveli malo prije ajet u kojem Allah, subhanehu ve te'ala, naređuje Poslaniku riječima:
- 17:09
„Ve'mur ehleke bis-salati vastabir alejha“ – i naredi svojoj porodici da obavljaju namaz i ustraj u tome. Obavještavajući nas o Ismailu, alejhis-salatu ves-selam, [nejasno], šta kaže Allah, subhanehu ve te'ala? I kaže: naređivao je svojoj porodici da obavljaju namaz.
- 17:38
Kaže Poslanik, sallallahu alejhi ve sellem: „Naređujte svojoj djeci da obavljaju namaz od sedam godina, a malo i šibnite ako ne budu klanjali kada napune deset godina.“ Koliko je bitan namaz! „I razdvojite ih u posteljama.“
- 17:59
Ovo su, draga braćo, savjeti zlata vrijedni, posebno u današnjem vremenu. Vremenu koje je alarmantno, vallahi, alarmantno. Onaj koji ima djecu koja mu idu u školu i djecu koja mu prenose ono što se radi u školama i kako se djeca ponašaju u školama – vallahi, nam je stanje alarmantno.
- 18:25
I nemoj da se čudimo što nam je ovakvo stanje na ulicama, sa saobraćajem, što nam je u gradu ovakvo stanje, što su nam ulice prljave, što nam se dešava ovo što nam se dešava.
- 18:41
Sve je to, sve je to nemarnost u odgoju djece, jer dijete se uči kada je malo. Ne može čovjek da se vaspitava kada napuni 20 godina, to je završeno, nego dijete se uči dok je malo. Ne može čovjek, kao što smo rekli malo prije, da konzumira cigare, a da brani svome djetetu to; da ide u kockarnicu, a da brani svome djetetu to; da napuni punu kesu smeća, da otvori prozor i na sred ulice da baci, i isto tako da kaže svome djetetu: „Nemoj to da radiš, nemoj da bacaš ovo smeće“, i tako dalje.
- 19:24
Mora i sam da bude čovjek, da bude primjer, posebno mi ovdje u džamiji, koji dolazimo u džamiju, koji slušamo sve ovo – mi imamo najveću odgovornost, najveću odgovornost. Zato, draga braćo, čuvajmo svoje porodice od džehennemske vatre, čuvajmo našu djecu, pratimo i vaspitavajmo ih na pravi, ispravan način, onako kako će Allah, subhanehu ve te'ala, biti zadovoljan i sa njima i sa nama.
- 19:55
Da našu djecu učini radošću očiju naših, da pomogne našu braću u Gazi, da pomogne muslimane na svakome mjestu gdje se vodi bitka da Allahova riječ i Njegovo zadovoljstvo bude gornja, a nevjernička riječ bude donja, da nas sačuva svakog zla, oprosti grijehe naših roditelja.
- 20:27
آمِينَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
Amin, o Gospodaru svjetova.
- 20:29
أَقُولُ قَوْلِي هَٰذَا وَأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ لِي وَلَكُمْ فَاسْتَغْفِرُوهُ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
Ovo govorim i molim Allaha za oprost i sebi i vama, pa i vi od Njega oprost tražite – On je, zaista, Onaj Koji prašta i Milostiv je.
- 0:00
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُهُ
All praise belongs to Allah; we praise Him, seek His help and ask His forgiveness.
- 0:41
وَنَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شُرُورِ أَنْفُسِنَا وَمِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ أَعْمَالِنَا مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ، وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ
We seek refuge in Allah from the evils of our souls and from our bad deeds. Whomever Allah guides, none can lead astray, and whomever He leaves astray, none can guide.
- 0:51
وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ
I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, Who has no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.
- 0:59
أَرْسَلَهُ اللَّهُ بِالْحَقِّ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا وَسِرَاجًا مُنِيرًا لِيُنْذِرَ مَنْ كَانَ حَيًّا وَيَحِقَّ الْقَوْلُ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَأَصْحَابِهِ الْكِرَامِ الْهُدَاةِ الْمُهْتَدِينَ وَسَلَّمَ تَسْلِيمًا كَثِيرًا إِلَى يَوْمِ الدِّينِ
Allah sent him with the truth as a bearer of glad tidings, a warner and a light-giving lamp, to warn whoever is alive (of heart) and so that the Word may be fulfilled against the disbelievers (Ya-Sin 36:70). May Allah the Exalted bless him and his good and pure family and his noble companions, the rightly guided who guided others, and grant him abundant peace until the Day of Judgement.
- 1:19
قَالَ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ الْكَرِيمِ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ
Allah says in His noble Book: “O you who believe, fear Allah as He deserves to be feared, and do not die except as Muslims.” (Al Imran 3:102). To proceed:
- 1:37
…of the worlds, Lord of the Day of Judgment, Lord of jinn and mankind. May blessings and peace be upon His Messenger, the beloved Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam (peace be upon him), upon his family, upon his companions, and upon all those who follow the path, the path of the Qur'an, the path of the Sunnah of Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
- 1:59
Dear brothers, respected congregation, our children are our responsibility and our obligation. Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala (glorified and exalted is He), commands us in the Qur'an to raise our children, to take care of our children, with the words: “O believers, protect yourselves and your families
- 2:40
from the Fire of Jahannam (Hellfire), whose fuel will be people and stones.” This verse is the basis and a clear command from Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, that we should take care of our children while they grow up, and afterwards as well, and raise them in a good way. And for a person to raise his child in a good and correct way, several things are needed.
- 3:18
The first thing is that a person makes dua (supplication) for his child, that he turns to Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala. Informing us about the servants of the Most Merciful, Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, says in the Qur'an: “My Lord, make our spouses and our children a comfort to our eyes.”
- 4:06
That they be our joy, and not our sorrow. So a person should supplicate for his child, ask Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, for his child. We also have the supplication of Ibrahim, alayhis-salatu was-salam, where Ibrahim, alayhis-salatu was-salam, says: “Rabbij'alni muqima as-salati wa min dhurriyyati, Rabbana wa taqabbal du'a'” – my Lord, make me and my descendants among those who establish the prayer, who are steadfast in prayer. The Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, also says:
- 4:48
“The supplication of three is not rejected,” among them the supplication of a parent. The supplication of a parent [unclear] for his child is not rejected. So when a parent asks Allah for something for his child, Allah will not turn that supplication back. That is why it is very important for a person to pray for his child, and not against his child. And we will see, unfortunately, that many parents curse their children while they are small, because of some small mischief they did, and then the child, when he grows up –
- 5:31
Allah accepts that supplication, and then the child is disobedient, bad, and so on. I don't know where those parents' sense is in such situations. Say: “May Allah guide you, may Allah grant you long life, may Allah set you right,” and not something else. The second thing is that the parent be a role model for his child, that he be a good example for his child.
- 6:07
First in obedience to Allah, and after that that he be honest, good, a good believer. And then the child – what does the child do? The child imitates, follows his parent, follows his parent.
- 6:31
A person cannot tell his child: “Here's 300 dinars for a snack, but don't go to the betting shop,” while he himself goes to the betting shop, he himself bets. A person cannot smoke cigarettes and tell his child: “Don't let me catch you lighting up.” Or a person drinks alcohol, goes to the tavern every night, and tells his child: “Don't let me see you,” he says, “drinking alcohol.” What kind of example is that? That is not an example, that is not a role model.
- 7:13
Rather, a role model – that a person be honest, good, and then the child, when he sees that his father is good and honest, will follow him in that. Also, the mother should be an example to her daughter: in dress, in behavior, at home, outside the home.
- 7:36
Because if the daughter sees that her mother talks back to her father, of course, tomorrow when she grows up, she will do the same. That is why it is very important for a person to be an example to his child, because we are the mirror of our children.
- 7:55
The third thing is that a person makes an effort, that he does not give up in raising his children. That he does not raise his child today and abandon him to the street tomorrow.
- 8:12
Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, says in the Qur'an, commanding our Prophet, with the words: “And command your family to perform the prayer,” and what? “Be steadfast in it.”
- 8:31
There is no giving up. Rather, every day a person, a person should follow, watch how his child behaves, whether he is behaving properly, and so on.
- 8:49
The fourth thing is providing the means that benefit the child, that benefit the upbringing of the child itself. That a person takes his child and brings him to the mekteb (Qur'an school), so that he learns the basics of the religion, the basics of good manners, so that he knows who his Lord is, who his Prophet is, so that he knows how to behave toward his parents, toward his neighbors; that he takes his child along to a lecture; that he takes his child and brings him to Jumu'ah, and sits him down next to himself.
- 9:34
These are the means. It doesn't have to be only a lecture – some useful things, dear brothers: let him take him to educational classes, on how to protect the environment, history classes, geography, everything that is beneficial, that is good. Also, that he keep him away from the means that destroy a child's upbringing,
- 10:09
such as today's phones, such as today's websites that promote immoral things, immoral acts; that he limit the child's phone and the playing of games that promote violence.
- 10:36
We have seen, dear brothers, what happened in Turkey these days. That a game that was played, called PUBG, so destroyed the minds of those children. Games that promote violence, where we have online chat, voice chat, where we have swearing and giving orders, and so on, and so forth.
- 11:07
And then what do we have? We have a monster child, who will take a pistol and go and kill several of his peers, not… dozens, and then in the end simply commit suicide. A person should follow these trends, follow these things, and not leave his child to these things.
- 11:35
The sixth thing, dear brothers, is that a person, a believer, a mu'min, directs his child to good company. To company that is good. That he not let him spend time with ill-mannered children.
- 11:59
The Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, said: …so let a person look carefully at whom he befriends. As our people would say: you are who you keep company with.
- 12:20
Has a healthy apple ever made the rotten ones become healthy? Never. One rotten apple spoils hundreds of healthy apples.
- 12:39
That is why, dear brothers, we should direct our children to good company, but not only our children, but ourselves as well. Ourselves as well. The seventh thing is that a person be aware
- 12:56
that raising children is a religious obligation. Just as it is your obligation to perform the prayer, the five daily prayers, just as it is your obligation to give zakah, just as it is your obligation to be kind to your parents, it is your obligation to raise your children and direct them to the right path, because otherwise you will be a great sinner, just as the one who abandons the prayer is a great sinner – although there is a dilemma there, whether he is a sinner or a disbeliever, there is great disagreement among the scholars –
- 13:38
or the one who abandons zakah, the giving of zakah, out of negligence, or the one who is disobedient to his parents – that is a major sin. And whoever abandons the upbringing of his children, let him know that he is a great, great sinner.
- 13:57
The Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, said: “Kullukum ra'in” – each of you is a shepherd, the master in his own house – “and each of you is,” what? “Responsible for his flock,” for his household. Each of us, the head of the household, is responsible for his family, for his children, for his wife.
- 14:32
Also, among the things that help a person to guide his child correctly, to bring him up, is that a person reads, studies the biographies of good people, of Allah's servants, and sees how they brought up their children, in what way.
- 14:51
And the most beautiful example for us is the Qur'anic example of the good man Luqman. Let a person take Surah Luqman and read it: in the first place he commands him to worship Allah alone, subhanahu wa ta'ala, not to commit shirk with Him.
- 15:09
In the second, to be obedient to his parents, that is, to be one who is kind to his parents, not to walk arrogantly on the earth, that injustice is a great sin, and so on. That he become acquainted with these biographies.
- 15:32
Also, dear brothers, it is that a person not be in a hurry for results. If the child does not obey today, he will obey tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, after that, and so on, and so forth. A person must by no means make a mistake in the upbringing of his children, so that the child later runs away from both father and mother and everything.
- 15:59
Rather, sabr (patience) is needed, and that a person not hurry, because haste is from Satan. Haste is from Satan. And the last thing, and perhaps the most important of all these things, is that a person watches over his child's prayer.
- 16:24
But first he must watch over his own prayer, in order to watch over his child's prayer. Because it is the connection between the servant and the Lord, it is the connection between Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, and His servants. When that connection is cut, everything is lost, everything else is irrelevant. A person can then be this and that, but if he cuts the connection with Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, then these nine things we have listed are of no use to him. None. And a little earlier we cited the verse in which Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, commands the Prophet with the words:
- 17:09
“Wa'mur ahlaka bis-salati wastabir 'alayha” – and command your family to perform the prayer and be steadfast in it. Informing us about Isma'il, alayhis-salatu was-salam, [unclear], what does Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, say? He says: he used to command his family to perform the prayer.
- 17:38
The Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, said: “Command your children to perform the prayer from the age of seven, and give them a light smack if they do not pray when they reach ten years.” How important the prayer is! “And separate them in their beds.”
- 17:59
These, dear brothers, are pieces of advice worth gold, especially in today's times. Times that are alarming, wallahi, alarming. Whoever has children who go to school, and children who tell him what goes on in the schools and how children behave in the schools – wallahi, our situation is alarming.
- 18:25
And let us not be surprised that we have such a situation on the streets, with the traffic, that we have such a situation in the city, that our streets are dirty, that what is happening to us is happening.
- 18:41
All of it, all of it is negligence in raising children, because a child learns when he is small. A person cannot be brought up when he turns 20, that is finished; rather, a child learns while he is small. A person cannot, as we said a little earlier, smoke cigarettes and forbid that to his child; go to the betting shop and forbid that to his child; fill up a whole bag of garbage, open the window and throw it into the middle of the street, and at the same time tell his child: “Don't do that, don't throw this garbage,” and so on.
- 19:24
He himself must be a decent person, be an example, especially we here in the mosque, who come to the mosque, who listen to all of this – we have the greatest responsibility, the greatest responsibility. That is why, dear brothers, let us protect our families from the Fire of Jahannam, let us protect our children, let us follow them and bring them up in the right, correct way, the way with which Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, will be pleased with both them and us.
- 19:55
May He make our children the comfort of our eyes, may He help our brothers in Gaza, may He help the Muslims in every place where a battle is fought so that the word of Allah and His pleasure be uppermost and the word of disbelief be lowest, may He protect us from every evil, and forgive the sins of our parents.
- 20:27
آمِينَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
Amen, O Lord of the worlds.
- 20:29
أَقُولُ قَوْلِي هَٰذَا وَأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ لِي وَلَكُمْ فَاسْتَغْفِرُوهُ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
I say these words of mine and ask Allah for forgiveness for myself and for you, so ask Him for forgiveness; truly He is the Oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
