The third question. The third question: Some children are falling short in the rights of their parents.
The presenter:
Thank you.
The questioner:
Welcome, please. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
Yes, children are as you raise them. If you raise them to obedience, goodness, dutifulness, and excellence, they will grow up with those traits, as the poet said: “The youth of our people grows up in accordance with what his father accustomed him to.” And more appropriate than that is the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:5 Sunan Abi Dawud 495Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani). So if you hope for their dutifulness, raise them to worship and righteous deeds, and bring them up with that. But if you neglect them, you have no one to blame but yourself. Yes.
