Parents must teach children good morals
“You will do your way to teach them, to raise them, and to make sure they're doing the right thing.”
In one sentence
Parents must actively give their children Islamic education and good morals because children are a trust, a test, and a source of accountability.
The khutbah in 5 steps
- Islam encourages education, but moral character should precede knowledge.
- Scholarly examples emphasize learning a teacher's manners before absorbing knowledge.
- Parents are responsible for actively raising children and guiding their conduct.
- Parents can use Islamic schools, the masjid, online lessons, and dedicated time.
- Children absorb influences from school, YouTube, and the street, so parents must stay involved and make dua.
