All praise is due to Allah alone, who is in command of all the knowledge in the world for it is He who has taught us all that we know. Our children are a trust from Allah . I know that this has become somewhat of a cliché, but when we think of standing in front of Allah Questioning, we realise the importance of this statement. on the Day of Out of the three deeds that will continue to benefit man after his death, one of them is a righteous child who prays for him. We know that guidance is from Allah saying of our beloved Prophet Muhammad , but we need to ponder over the following : PL E "All of you are shepherds and each one is responsible for his flock. A leader of a people is a shepherd and responsible for them. A man is a shepherd over his family and is responsible for them. A woman is a shepherd over her husband's house and his children and she is responsible for them. And a servant is a guardian over his master's property and is responsible for it. So all of you are guardians and are responsible for your charges." (Bukhari) SA M Education is sacred in Islam, for the first command to the Prophet Muhammad was the command to read. Children are like a blank canvas, and can be likened to clay that is ready to be molded – wet and compliant. Giving them the right education in the right way at a tender age is what will shape their characters and determine what kind of Muslims “I never saw anyone who was more and Muslimahs they will become. compassionate towards children than Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). After the positive feedback of the Reception year His son Ibrahim was in the care of a wet nurse guide, we are really excited about this year as more in the hills around Madinah. He would go subjects are covered in more depth. I pray that there, and we would go with him, and he Allah put barakah in this project and make it would enter the house, pick up his son and beneficial for all of us. Please do remember us in kiss him, then come back.” your aadiyah. [Muslim] i Copyright © 2014 Taqwa Curriculum How to use this guide First and foremost, purify your intention.
