In the khateeb's words
“the one he has complaint it's simple he didn't put enough efforts during their their childhood”
“since Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala rewarded you you have to think about it this is one as a one of responsibility you would be asked one day especially in the day of judgment”
Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
Children are one of Allah's gifts, and parents are accountable for how they care for them. Allah gives children in different ways, and every blessing carries responsibility. The speaker urged parents to begin early with care, prayer, mosque connection, and teaching Islam. He also reminded us that children have rights, so parents should not demand obedience while neglecting their own duties. We can respond with gratitude, patience, and steady effort in raising our children.
