*Reviving a Sense of Honour in the Hearts of the Young*

Teach your children that true men do not weep over a loss on the football pitch. Rather, they weep over a missed prayer, negated legislation, or a violated prohibition.

Our children's brains are rotting and their deen is fading by the never ending memes on social media that are only their to trim away the Īman from their hearts.

Take heed O parents and guardians
والله المستعان

Getting answers to your questions

It seems to be increasingly common for Muslims who do not have access to reliable scholars and students of knowledge to turn to platforms like YouTube, Reddit, Discord, TikTok, and Instagram in search of answers to their Islamic questions. 

Narrated ’Abdullāh ibn ’Amr ibn Al-’Āṣ: 
I heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saying,
((‏ إِنَّ الله لاَ يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ انْتِزَاعًا، يَنْتَزِعُهُ مِنَ الْعِبَادِ، وَلَكِنْ يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ بِقَبْضِ الْعُلَمَاءِ، حَتَّى إِذَا لَمْ يُبْقِ عَالِمًا، اتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ رُءُوسًا جُهَّالاً فَسُئِلُوا، فَأَفْتَوْا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ، فَضَلُّوا وَأَضَلُّوا))
"Allāh does not take away the knowledge, by taking it away from (the hearts of) the people, but takes it away by the death of the scholars till when none of the scholars remain, people will take as their leaders ignorant persons who when consulted will give their verdict without knowledge. So they will go astray and will lead the people astray." [Bukhāri (100) & Muslim (2673)]

O mothers & fathers,

If your daughter has reached the age of puberty and has not yet worn the ḥijāb, make this ʿEid even more special for her by making it the beginning of her modesty — the start of her journey to wear the honourable crown.

Instead of buying her the usual ʿEid clothes that do not meet the rulings of hijāb, gift her beautiful, modest, and honourable clothing, so that she can walk with dignity to the ʿEid prayer, preserved by her īmān and adorned in her noble veil.

Do not delay beyond the age of puberty, for you will be questioned about your children before they are questioned about you.

May Allah make these sacred days blessed upon us and upon the Ummah of Islam.

تقبل الله منا ومنكم صالح الأعمال وكل عام وأنتم إلى الجنة أقرب وعن النار أبعد

The interference of one of the parents in the nurturing role of the other, is hidden corruption

Indeed, for the father and the mother are their independent roles when raising the children, one does not suffice in place of the other, and it is incorrect for one to take the place of the other, rather each of them is to fulfill their roles in order to complete eachother. Allāh -The Almighty- says:
{ یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ قُوۤا۟ أَنفُسَكُمۡ وَأَهۡلِیكُمۡ نَارࣰا }
O you who believe! Ward off yourselves and your families against a Fire (Hell)
[Surah At-Taḥrīm: 6]
Imām At-Tabarī said (regarding this ayah): "I.e teach them and discipline them".

And when the roles become mixed up, or one of the parents stands as an obstacle in the way of the other, upbringing becomes flawed, and the guiding structure for the children is weakened.

Often, the mother — by her emotional nature — leans toward gentleness and spoiling, and perhaps she thinks that coaxing or kindness will lead to the child's compliance. But she doed not realise that some children are clever and emotionally exploit this to fulfill their desires. In fact, they may resort to various forms of behavioral pressure — such as anger, neglect, threatening to cry, or refusing to eat — if their wishes are not met."

Such behavior may also come from the father, but it is usually less frequent because his nature is generally closer to firmness than that of the mother.

One of the greatest mistakes is when the mother cancels the father’s authority in the eyes of her child, by portraying him in a negative way, or making the child feel that the father has no role to play in upbringing and that he has no authority over the childs wrongdoings. She might say to the child, "Don’t worry, I won’t tell your father" or "I will talk it over with him." Then she puts on the cloak of defending the child when a mistake happens, causing the father to become restricted, and his commands lose their effect

Indeed the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "Each of you is a shepherd, and each of you is responsible for his flock." [Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim]
Just as the father is responsible for firmness and discipline, the mother is responsible for supporting and enabling this firmness, not opposing it.

How many a mother, driven by compassion, hides her child’s mistakes from her husband or stands between him and disciplining the child, so the child grows up rebellious, knowing no respect for authority and feeling no weight for his mistakes. As he grows older, his stubbornness intensifies, making it difficult to correct him. Often, this cultivational problem is left unnoticed up until the axe has fallen on the head.

So it is a must upon both parents to cooperate and complete each other, not to go against one another, and for each to know the limits of their duties and perform them as they would like their partner to perform theirs. For indeed, Disputing over the nurturing roles is the worst thing that can ruin the children.
