Darus-Salaam Department (DSD)

Nurturing Young Hearts with Iman, Qur’an & Beautiful Character

A Blessed Department of Darul-Hikmah Islamic Center

Allah ﷻ reminds parents about the responsibility of raising children with faith:

وَإِذْ قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ وَهُوَ يَعِظُهُ
يَا بُنَيَّ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ

"And when Luqman said to his son while advising him:
O my son! Do not associate partners with Allah. Indeed, shirk is a great ظلم."

(Qur'an 31:13)

This beautiful advice shows that the first step of tarbiyah is nurturing Tawheed, faith, and love for Allah in the hearts of children.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ also emphasized the importance of nurturing children correctly.

قال رسول الله ﷺ:
كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ

"Every child is born upon the natural fitrah (pure belief in Allah)."
(البخاري)

It is the responsibility of parents and educators to preserve and nurture this pure faith.
