Question:
A sister questioner sent a question saying: Honorable Shaykh, what are the factors that help in the righteousness of my sons and daughters? I want them to be useful members of society.
Answer:
Upbringing. The greatest of the factors is righteous and good upbringing. When they reach the age of seven, you should order them to pray, teach them ritual purity and ablution, teach them whatever is easy of the Qur'an, and have them memorize whatever is easy of the hadiths. Protect them from anything that undermines their upbringing, and ensure there is nothing that distracts them from the correct direction, such as listening to songs or looking at screens, low-grade dramas, and corrupt scenes. She should look after them, for they looked after her. Yes.
