Allahﷻ says in the Holy Quran,

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ قُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا وَقُودُهَا ٱلنَّاسُ وَٱلْحِجَارَةُ عَلَيْهَا مَلَـٰٓئِكَةٌ غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ لَّا يَعْصُونَ ٱللَّهَ مَآ أَمَرَهُمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ

O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, over which are [appointed] angels, harsh and severe; they do not disobey Allah in what He commands them but do what they are commanded. -Surah At-Tahrim 66: Verse 6.

In the Holy Quran, Allahﷻ Warns the believer to guard himself and his family from eternal destruction.

Mawlanaق emphasised on teaching the young ones to work on guarding themselves from a bad ending in the afterlife as they will spend this life in the dissensions of the end times.

Allahﷻ Forbid, if the children face extreme difficulties in akhirah, even pious parents will be dragged into their difficulties as well. One must remember that the difficulties of the afterlife are unbearable and excruciating, far beyond any earthly struggles imaginable.

Hence, children are gifts and a trust for parents to nurture patiently.

We find a perfect example to follow, in the blessed holy family of our Guide, Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Adilق.

During Hajjah Aminah’sق Urs recently, Mawlanaق spoke about his beloved mother’s excellence in service to her children, her Shaykh and the Tariqah, that earned her to be amongst The Forty Great Saints of Shams. She was a mureed to The Seal of the Saints, Mawlana Shaykh Abdullah Faiz Daghestaniق, wife of Sultan-ul-Awliya Mawlana Shaykh Nazimق and mother to the current Grandshaykh of the Naqshbandi Aliyyah Golden Chain, Sultan-ul-Awliya Mawlana Shaykh Muhammadق.

A pious mother is a quality school for her children and heaven lies under her feet.

Hajjah Aminahق was such a mother, always in khidmat, raising her children in a nurturing home, like a warm greenhouse in winter, alive with awareness of the Absolute Oneness of Allahﷻ, while teaching them the decaying coldness of the outside world, rotting in the death of unbelief, forgetting the Lord Almighty.

To achieve this, practical Islam was based on the love for Holy Prophetﷺ and this love was the heart of her blessed household.

Our Holy Prophetﷺ said in a sahih hadith, “teach your children three things;

1. Love for your Prophetﷺ,

2. Love for hisﷺ Family (ahlul bayt),

3. proper Quran recital,

For indeed the bearers of the Quran will be under the shade of Allah’s [throne] with the Prophets and chosen ones, on a day in which there will be no other shade.”

- Faydul Qadir, Hadith: 311, and As-Sirajul Minur, vol.1 pg.75

Inculcating love for the Prophetﷺ and hisﷺ Sunnah comes before Quran recitation as the love for himﷺ leads to the love of the Holy Quran, eventually leading the children to be as heﷺ was, a Walking Quran.

A good way to remind the children of this love is to remember the symbol of Islam. ☪️

The crescent is an ark of safety in the sea of calamity, a Way to Salvation, guided by a star, an Ahlul Bayt who is guiding the divinely appoint Captain of the vessel and his passengers to safety.

Excellent nurturance of children today will determine an outcome of their safety here and hereafter, InSha’Allah.

May Allah make us, our progeny and families to be in the Safety of the Ark of Tariqah, with Mawlanaق as our Captain, holding on to his firm handhold asking to be dressed to become a Walking Quran.
