How can we develop love of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in the hearts of our children? I have a young daughter – what can I do with her to achieve this?
Praise
be to Allaah.There are a number of ways to instill
love of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in the
hearts of our children, such as:·
The parents can tell them the
stories that have been narrated of the children of the Sahaabah at the time
of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), how they
fought those who tried to harm him, how quickly they responded to his call
and obeyed his commands, and how they loved that which he loved, and how
they memorized the hadeeth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him).·
The parents should help her to
memorize as much hadeeth as she can of ahaadeeth, and reward her for that…
One of the things that was narrated concerning that was the words of
al-Zubayri: Maalik ibn Anas had a daughter who memorized his knowledge –
i.e. al-Muwatta’. She used to stand behind the door and if a student
made a mistake she would knock on the door, and Maalik would be alerted and
would correct him. And it was narrated that al-Nadar ibn al-Haarith said: “I
heard Ibraaheem ibn Adham say: ‘My father said to me, O my son, seek
hadeeth, and every time you hear a hadeeth and memorize it, I will give you
a dirham, so I learnt hadeeth in that way.”·
They should teach her –
according to her level of understanding – about the life of the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his military campaigns, and
the lives of the Sahaabah, both men and women – may Allaah be pleased with
them, so that she will grow up loving these noble people, and be influenced
by their behaviour, and will be keen to strive and sincere in correcting
herself and supporting her religion.·
The Sahaabah and the salaf
(early generations) were keen to teach their children about the life of the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and they would
teach it alongside teaching the Qur’aan, because his seerah is the
interpretation of the the meanings of the Qur’aan, as well as stirring up
emotions and demonstrating true Islam and having a wondrous effect on the
soul. It also carries the meanings of love and jihad to save mankind from
misguidance and bring them to guidance, from falsehood to truth, from the
darkness of jaahiliyyah to the light of Islam.
When telling their daughter about the life of
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and the lives
of the male and female Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them), the
father and mother must tell her about things that she can relate to, such as
the childhood of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him), some stories about his life with (his wet-nurse) Haleemah
al-Sa’diyyah, and how Allaah bestowed goodness and blessings upon Haleemah
and her family because of him (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him), the night of the Hijrah and how Allaah covered the eyes of the
mushrikeen, and other stories which demonstrate how Allaah helped him. Thus
the girl’s heart will be filled with love for Allaah and love for His
Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). It was narrated
from ‘Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Train your children to acquire three
characteristics: love of your Prophet, love of his family and reading the
Qur’aan, for the bearers of the Qur’aan will be in the shade of Allaah on
the Day when there will be no shade except His, with His Prophets and His
chosen ones.” (Narrated by al-Suyooti in al-Jaami’ al-Sagheer, p. 25;
classed as da’eef by al-Albaani in Da’eef al-Jaami’ al-Sagheer,
p. 36, no. 251). It would be a good idea if the parents devote a suitable
time for teaching the life of the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) during the daily family lesson, when the children can
read about seerah in simplified books, or the father or mother can tell them
these stories in a manner that is appropriate to the child’s age.The things Muslim should do. We as Muslim should give our first priority in learning quran and do quran reading to seek the right path of Islam and through the quran teaching we can achieve the goal of our life and the deputy to guiding our kids to learn Koran that we should fulfill with perfecting kids quran recitation power and knowledge in Islam and also motivate our children’s to do quran memorization and then guide them to learn holy Quran tafseer so they could understand the quran in Arabic and the quranic translation and also let or kids to listen quran from top quran reciters to get them inspired. at last I would pray for all my Muslim brothers and sisters that may Allah accept there Dwas and prayers and inspire you with the teachings of our holy prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) so let us join hands and spread the knowledge that every Muslim is born to spread the knowledge of Islam now a day many online quran tutor are available for kids and elders to learn tajweed quran and with exact pronunciation and perfect the quran recitation online with qualified teaching staff who can guide then with there experience and knowledge and the write teachings to help us in achieving the path of Jannah so learn quran and its teaching and spread the word of Allah
