parents, if your child see the deen as a small thing, its your responsibility to make them see it as a big thing.
to show that how big the responsibility of parents is in order to determine their childs future - jannah or hellfire.
when the child of adam is dead, then all amal ibadat will be cut off except for three, one of it is waladun soleh yad’ulah. the dua from the pious children.
All people will say, ah this is deen and the parents are the ones responsible to say abt this to their children.
but I believe, this is my humble opinion. Everyone of us we keep on saying
‘do whatever you want, but don’t abandon solat.‘
We keep saying that. That’s deen. That’s Islam. But what they ended up with? What kind of person they ended up?
Nothing.
We say to them they must solat. But if we really understand this hadith, we will be like, oh so its true. pious children will drive us to the jannah.
im sorry to make it sounde like so sad. but seldom people told us very specific about the hadith. it is important. this is about the deen. the deen of whom? our children.
when we talk abt this hadith, ask ourselves. are there any of our children at home can do all of this for us when we die one day?
-ustaz don daniyal.
