Teach children with love and firm boundaries

IPC Jame Masjid

“When you correct someone, correct with love, with a joke, with a smile on your face.”

The khateeb, at 24:31

Watch the khutbah
In one sentence

Parents and community members should raise children through loving correction, good example, and firm boundaries when trust or shared responsibilities are violated.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Calls listeners to correct wrongdoing and frames family responsibilities across spouses, relatives, and parent-child relationships.
  2. Urges parents to teach everyday responsibility, including avoiding waste of water.
  3. Advocates gentle correction with humor and a smile, illustrated by the Prophet’s response to a child who ate some grapes.
  4. Distinguishes ordinary mistakes from violations of amanah requiring firm boundaries at home and in the masjid.
  5. Recommends quiet modeling and redirection when children encounter inappropriate media.
  6. Suggests correcting behavior through general reminders rather than public shaming.
Try this week
