UPBRINGING OF A CHILD
“Let your child play upto 7 years, and keep him/her
with you (for study etc..) for another 7 years; then
if he/she succeeds (all is well); otherwise there is
no good in him/her.” Imam Ja’fer As-Sadiq (AS)
“The child is a master for 7 years, and a slave for 7
years and an ambassador for 7 years; so if he/she
builds a good character within 21 years all is well;
otherwise leave him/her alone because you have
discharged your responsibility before Allah.”
The first stage is a care free period, it has been
called mastership; the second stage means taking
orders from teachers and parents, therefore it has
been called slavery; in the third stage the child is
what he has been brought up to be and therefore
is called an ambassador.

0-7 years
“When a child arrives in the world, recite Adhan in
his/her right ear and Iqama in his/her left ear.”
Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
It aims at the declaration of the oneness of Allah,
the invitation of Islam, and the advice of
performing good deeds to be recited in the child’s
ear.”
It re-inforces the purpose of existence:
“Say: “Indeed my salaa, my sacrifice, my life and
my death are all for Allah, the Lord of the worlds.”
(Qur’an - Suratul An’aam - 6:163)
Breast feeding
“The best milk for a child is the milk from it’s own
mother.”
Imam Ali (AS)
A number of Ulema consider it obligatory for a
mother to nurse her child from her own breast
immediately after the birth of a child. The first 3
days are very important for the proper functioning
of the baby’s digestive system.
It is highly recommended to do wudhoo before
feeding a child, and to have good thoughts. As in
www.qfatima.com
Page 57
pregnancy, the mother’s diet and thought’s have a
significant effect on the child. Thus the hadith
from Imam Ali (AS):
“Allow only a woman whose outward and inward
manners are proper to nurse your child, because
the child will take on those qualities from her.”
Increasing breast milk
1.
Write ayaat 8 & 9 of Suratur Ra’ad and wear as
ta’widh on right arm. Alternatively write with
saffron on a china plate, and drink the water.
2.
Write Suratul Hijr with saffron, wash and drink.
3.
Write Suratu Yaasin with saffron, wash and
drink.
4.
Write aya 21 of Suratul Mu’minun with saffron,
wash and drink.
To wean a child from breastfeeding, write aya 14
of Suratu Luqman and make the child wear it as a
tawidh.
Aqiqã
It is recommended that the baby's head be shaved
when he/she is seven days old. Traditionally the
shaved hair is weighed and the equivalent weight
in gold or silver is given to the poor and needy. This
www.qfatima.com
Page 58
is to thank God for the gift of a new life. Today, a
donation is given in lieu. A sacrifice of a sheep or a
goat is done and distributed between the midwife,
the poor and family and friends. This ceremony is
known as aqeeqa.
Imam Ja’fer As-Sadiq (AS) has said:
“Every child that is born is under the pledge in
respect of his aqeeqa.”
It is reported that a man came to Imam Ja’fer As-
Sadiq (AS) saying that he was not sure whether his
father had performed his aqeeqa. Imam asked him
to perform his own aqeeqa, which the man did in
his old age.
CIRCUMCISION
It is highly recommended that a male child be
circumcised soon after birth.
The Prophet (SAW) has said:
“Circumcise your sons on the seventh day (after
birth) because the tissues build up quickly and the
wound heals easily.”
One of the pre requisite conditions of tawaf of the
Ka’ba for a man is that he must be circumcised.
Tawaf by an uncircumcised man is batil.
As per Ihtiyat Wajib, tawaf by children who have
not been circumcised is batil too.
www.qfatima.com
Page 59
Imam Ali (AS) has said that if a man is a Muslim he
should be circumcised even if he has reached old
age.
The New Encyclopaedia Britannica states (Vol. 3
pg.328)
Studies have indicated that uncircumcised men
have a higher incidence of AIDS, syphilis and other
sexually transmitted diseases than circumcised
men.....
Love your child
Prophet Musa (AS) once asked:
“O Lord! Which deed is best in your eyes?”
Allah replied:
“Love of children, for I have created them with the
natural belief in My unity and if I grant them death,
I will put them mercifully in heaven.”
Imam Ja’fer As-Sadiq (AS) said:
“Allah may have mercy on a person simply because
the person loves his/her child very much.”
Equal Treatment
Nu’man bin Bashar reports that his father once
gave him a gift. His mother insisted that the
Prophet (SAW) witness the gift. When Nu’man’s
father went to the Prophet (SAW) with the request
www.qfatima.com
Page 60
to witness that which he was going to gift to his
son, the Prophet (SAW) asked him: “And have you
bought the same gift for all your other children?”
Nu’man’s father replied in the negative and the
Prophet (SAW) said:
Fear Allah and treat all your children equally. I do
not wish to witness something that is not right.”

PARENTING IN A HOME
DAWN
D – Discipline
•
Discipline is to teach a child to be responsible
for his actions whilst punishment is to control a
child.
•
Discipline by example.
•
The ‘Iron Rod’ method leads to rebelliousness.
A – Acceptance
•
Accept the child even if you do not approve of
what they do. The only door they can knock at
is
yours.....Disapproval
need
not
mean
rejection.
W – Wanted
•
Show physical affection.
N – Needed
•
Give child a sense that they are needed in the
house, to help with chores, make decisions etc
•
Start slowly with little things and then build up
responsibility
•
Encourage and reward, but do not judge the
outcome.

QFATIMA TIPS
Never raise a child as you were raised,
times have changed and you have to move
with them and adapt
Father time and mother time needed
separately as well as together
Never contradict your partner in front of
the child
If you promise a reward or punishment, go
through with it.
Allah has entrusted you with a child, therefore
you must be special to be given the
responsibility. He asks two things of you:
Nurture the child and
Protect (from a fire whose fuel is humans
and stones) the child.

NURTURING GOOD BEHAVIOUR
The Prophet (SAW) has said:
“Respect your children and teach them good
behaviour, Allah will forgive you.”
Imam Ja’fer As-Sadiq (AS) has said:
“Take the initiative to talk to your young ones
before they are overcome by their instincts.”
The Prophet (SAW) was once sitting with his
companions when he said:
“May Allah save the children of later times from
the improper conduct of their fathers.”
The companions asked who these fathers were and
what wrong they would do.
The Prophet (SAW) replied: “From the conduct of
the Muslim fathers who do not teach their children
religious duties and if the children resort to
religious matters they forbid them from doing so,
and are contented with regard to their children
with insignificant material things. I am disgusted
with them....”

AHADITH ABOUT CHILDREN
Imam Sadiq (as) said:" The prophet (SAW) once in
the dhuhr (noon) prayer shortened the last two
rakat. When the people enquired about the
reason, he replied: “Didn't you hear the child
crying?"
The prophet (SAW) said:" One who has a child
should act like the child."
Imam Sadiq (AS) said:" Let your child play for seven
years."
Every time the Prophet (SAW) returned from a trip,
children would be waiting for him and he would
hold some of them and ask his companions to hold
others. When the Prophet (SAW) leaves, the
children would be talking about how he held one
to his chest and another to his back, and how he
asked others to hold the rest....
The Prophet (SAW) says: “The parents are
responsible with regard to their children in the
same manner in which the children are responsible
with regard to their parents”.
(Furu’ul Kafi, vol.II, p.94)

father and the father too has a right on his child”.
(Nahjul Balaghah, p.1264)
“The heart of a newly-born child is like a virgin soil
which accepts every seed that is sown on it”.
(Nahjul Balaghah, p.903)

due respect, make room for him in the
assemblies…”.
(Wasa’ilush Shi’ah, vol.III, p.123)

that his father should teach him the Holy Qur’an”.
(Nahjul Balaghah, p.1264)

age, a child should play, for another seven years he
should be taught how to read and write and for
still another seven years he should learn about
lawful and unlawful things”.

regards a poor person he should also do it when
his circumstances permit. And in case it is not
possible for him to give it, he is under no obligation
in this behalf. Every child that is born is under
pledge in respect of his Aqiqa.

the same manner in which you expect them to
observe justice in being kind and good to you”.
(Makarimul Akhlaq, p.252)
“Whoever goes to the bazaar and purchases a
present for the members of his family and brings it
to them is like one who spends on the needy.
However he should prefer daughters to sons
because whoever pleases his daughter is like one
who frees a slave from among the descendants of
Prophet Isma’il”.
