Raise children with faith, not status

Darul Uloom

“We should at no time condemn our children towards Jahannam.”

The khateeb, at 15:20

Watch the khutbahFamily kit
In one sentence

Muslim parents and grandparents must prioritize their children’s Islamic faith through consistent teaching, prayer, discussion, example, and hope rather than measuring success by culture, comfort, or career.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Frames the back-to-school season as a challenge to Muslim family upbringing.
  2. Warns that schools, universities, and peers can normalize competing beliefs and sinful behavior.
  3. Urges families to prioritize Islam over inherited culture, money, status, and material comfort.
  4. Uses the story of Nuh and a Hadith Qudsi to stress persistent guidance, hope, and nonjudgment.
  5. Defines success as salvation and recommends early daily religious habits and continual dua.
  6. Encourages attending Rabi al-Awwal programs to learn about the Prophet Muhammad’s life.

For the dinner table

The khutbah asks Muslim parents and grandparents to treat raising children as a shared community responsibility, especially as school resumes. It warns that schools, universities, peers, and material culture can present beliefs and behaviors that conflict with Islam, so families should talk with children about what they are learning. The speaker says true success is entering Paradise, not simply earning degrees, money, or comfort. He encourages early daily habits such as prayer, wudu, duas, and remembering Allah, along with continual dua, patience, and hope. He also reminds listeners not to judge sinners or give up on them, and to learn from the Prophet’s life.

  1. What does success mean in our family besides having money or a good career?
  2. How can we help someone who is struggling without judging them?
