Introduction:
In our busy life style, we are always struggling to find time for our families. The
upbringing of children always remains a major challenge for all of us, as our children
spent most of their time in schools and while at home, their attention is mostly
diverted by the media and the social networks. Therefore, there is hardly any time
left for the religion – for both parents and children to interact with and to reflect on
our devotion and responsibilities towards the Imamasws of our time – for our own
benefit and success. To help in upbringing our children and organise our lives, some
Ahadith of Masomeenasws are presented in this short article. A detailed teaching
syllabus for children, based on the Ahadith of Masomeenasws, has already been
uploaded under the heading of ‘School of Wilayat’ (SOW)
(http://www.schoolofwilayat.com/).
It’s worth mentioning that no matter what excuses we come up with but the
responsibility of upbringing children rests on the shoulders of the parents and
guardians – to balance the demands of modern world while keeping within the
boundaries of the religious laws – for comprehensively achieving ‘the best of both
Worlds’. May Allahazwj and Masomeenasws help us in pleasing Allahazwj by learning
and following the traditions of Masomeenasws – Ameen suma Ameen!
We start with a Holy Verse, where Allahazwj Says:
)63:9( ََورُِِاَْْ ا مُُُ كَ َِِلوُأَُ ف كَ ِلذَ لْ عَفَْ ي نْ مَوَ هَِّللا رِكْذِ نْ عَ مْكُدُلََوَْأ لََوَ مْكُُلاوَمَْأ مْكُ هِلُْ ت لََ اوُنمََآ نَيذَِّلا اهَُّ يَأ اَي
O you who believe! let not your wealth, or your children, divert you from the
Zikr of Allah; and whoever does that, these are the losers. (63:9)
In a Hadith, Rasool Allahsaww said:

اَنوُنََْْ َأ اوُتامَ َِِْ وَ اَنوُن َت َف اوشُ اعَ َْإَِف اَنؤُادَعَْأ مُُْؤُارَ َبكُ وَ اَنؤُارَمَُأ مُُْؤُارََغصُ اَندُاَبكَْأ اَندُلََوَْأ ص هَِّللا لُوُِرَ لَاَق
Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Our children are our livers (souls). Their young ones are (like)
our rulers1 and their older ones are (like) our enemies. So, if they live, they (try to)
involve us in ‘Fitna’ (troubles), and if they die, they make us grieve’.”2
In another Hadith, Rasool Allahsaww said:
لََِِ يرِيََْ مْهُُ باوََ ث وَ مُِْرِوُبُ ق فِِ ٌةسَ ْخََ لَاَق ُهَّنَأ ص بَِِِّّنلا نِ عَ هِدِاَنِْ إِِب بِ ِئارََغْلا لَِجُْ بِ اَتِك نْ عَ ،رِاَبخْ َلْْا عُمِاجَ

Jami’e Al Akhbar, from the book Juml Al Garaib, by his chain,
Prophetsaww said: ‘Five (types of people) are in the graves and their Rewards keep
flowing in their Registers (of deeds):
(1) One who planted a tree
(2) One who dug a well,
(3) One who built a masjid,
(4) One who wrote down Quran,
(5) One who left behind a righteous child. 3

In a Hadith, Rasool Allahsaww said:
نْ مِ هَِّللا لَوُِرَ اَي لَ يقَِف مْهِِئاَبآ نْ مِ َِامَََّلا رِخِآ لِافَْ طَلِْ ٌلْيوَ لَاقَ َف لِافَْطَلْْا ضِ عَْ ب لََِِ رََظَن ُهَّنَأ ص بَِِِّّنلا نِ عَ يَ وِرُ

It is reported from the Prophetsaww and hesaww looked at some children and hesaww
said: ‘Woe be unto the fathers of the children of the end of the times!’ It was said, ‘O
Rasool-Allahsaww! Their fathers – (who would be) from the Polytheists?’ So hesaww
said: ‘No! their fathers, (would be) from the Momineen, (because) they would not
teach them (their children) anything from the Obligations, and when they do teach
their children, they would prevent them (from learning the Obligations), and they

1 They insist as they like and we cannot convince them so we have no other option but to fulfil their
needs, otherwise they just cry.

would be pleased from them with the little display from the world (success of the
world). Thus, Isaww am disavowed from them, and they are disavowed from mesaww’.4
The following Hadith is usually presented to justify the needs of the modern world but
in this Hadith, Amir-ul-Momineenasws is implying those aspects which do not oppose
Islam but are within the boundaries of Islamic laws, i.e., cloths/shoes we wear,
furniture we buy.
.مكنامز يرغ َامَل َوقولمخ منِإف مكبادآ ىلع مكدلَوأ اورسقت لَ
(Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘Do not force your children to be upon your etiquettes,
for they have been created for an era other than your era’.5
In the recognition of the best qualities of youth, Rasool Allahsaww said:
ِ
.مكبابشب هّبشت نمَ مكُ لوهكُ رّشو ،مكُ لوهُكب هّبشت نمَ مكبابشَ ُيرخ ملِ و هلا و هيلع للها يلص لاقو
Rasool Allahsaww said: "The best of your youth are those who imitate (follow the
behaviour and thinking of) the old (wise) men, and the worst of your old people are
those who imitate the young ones."6
ِ
.هُتعجولْ هنيد فِ هقّفتي لَ ةعيشلا باَبشَ نم بٍّ اشب تُ يتأ ول ملًسلا هيلع رفعج وبأ لاق
Abu Ja’farasws (5th Imam) said: ‘If Iasws was brought a youth from the youths of the
Shias, not having pondered (acquired knowledge) in his Religion, Iasws would punish
him’.7"
يلص بِّ نلا لاقف ،ٌَونمج :موقلا ضُ عب لاقف ،هباحصأ فِ وُو لٌ جر ملِ و هلا و هيلع للها يلص للها لوِرب رّم.
.للها ةعاط يرغ فِ امبهابش ايلبأ ٌةمأ وأ دٌبع َونلمجا انِّّ ،باصمُ ٌلجر اذُ لب ملِ و هلا و هيلع للها
A man passed by Rasool-Allahsaww while hesaww was among hissaww companions.
Someone said: "This is an insane man. "Rasool-Allahsaww said: "No. He is perfectly
healthy. Men or women who spend their youth obeying someone other than Allahazwj
are insane."8

Compliance with the Society:
Our youth as well as rest of us, need to remain within the limits of Islamic laws
and then wear, eat or do whatever is the ‘norm’ of the society, for example our 6th
Imamasws says:
ُير ْخَ ثٍ يدَِْ فِِ لُوقَُ ي ع هَِّللا دِبْعَ اَبَأ تُ عْسََِ لَاَق ََامَْثُع نِْب دِاَّحَْ نْ عَ يََيََْ نِْب دِمََّمُُ نْ عَ دٍمََّ مُُ نِْب دََحَْْأ نْ عَ ُهنْعَ وَ
. ه ِِلَُْأ سُ اَبِل ٍَامَزَ ل ِكُ س ِ اَبِل
And from him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Hammad Bin Usman who said,
‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying in a Hadeeth: ‘The best of the clothing in every era
is the clothing of its people’.9
،ها نفأ ا ميف هر مُع ن ع :عٍ برأ ن ع لأُ سُي رّ ْ ة مايقلا مَوَ ي د بعلا امدَ َق لوَ ت لَ مل ِ و ه لا و ه يلع للها يل ص لا قو.
ِ
[.تيبلا لُأ انبْ نعو[ هقفنأ اميفو هبستكا نيأ نم هلام نعو ،هب لمع فيك هملع نعو ،هلًبأ اميف هبابش نعو
ّ َ
And Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The feet of the servant will not move on the Day of
Judgment until he is Asked about four (matters) – About his life-time, in what did he
spend it, and about his youth, what did he indulge it in, and about his knowledge,
how did he act with it, and about his wealth, from where did he earn it and in what
did he spend it, and about ourasws love, of the Peopleasws of the Household’.10
Rasool Allahsaww has also warned us about a time when moral values will be at the
worst possible level and we should not be swept away by the ‘satanic norms’ of
those communities, for example:
ٍ ِ
و ور ع اورمأُ ت و ،مكباب ش ر سفو مكؤُا سن بْ د سف اذِ م كب ف يك مل ِ و ه لا و ه يلع للها يل ص بِ نلا لا قو .
ّ
؟للها لوِر اي كلذ َوكيو :هل ليقف !؟رٍكنم نع اوهنت
And the Prophetsaww said: ‘How would it be with you when your women are
dishonoured, and your youth are mischievous, and you do not enjoin the good and
do not forbid from the evil?’ It was said to himsaww, ‘And will that be happening, O
Rasool-Allahsaww?’
ِ
َو كيو ،للها لو ِر ا ي :ه ل ل يقف ؟ ور عوا ن ع مت ينِو ركنوا ب نر مأ اذِ م كب ف يكف ك لذ ن م رذ شو ،م عن :لا ق
؟اافورعم ركنواو ااركنم ورعوا متيأر اذِ مكب فيك ،كلذ نم رذشو ،معن :لاق ؟كلذ
Hesaww said: ‘Yes, and even more evil than that! So how would it be with you when
you are enjoined with the evil and forbidden from the good?’ It was said to himsaww,
‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! And would that be happening?’ Hesaww said: ‘And even more evil

than that. How would it be with you when you see the good as evil, and the evil as
good?’"11

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Usman Bin Isa, from Ibn Muskan,
from one of his companions who said,
‘Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws said: ‘Among the good fortune persons are the one whose
business/work in his own city, and his associates happen to be righteous, and there
happen to be children for him he can seek assistance from’.12
Also in another Hadith, Imamasws says:

Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Husayn Al Taymi, from Ja’far Bin Bakr, from Abdullah Bin Abu
Sahl, from Abdullah Bin Abdul Kareem who said,
‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Three are from the good fortune – the obedient wife, and the
righteous children, and the man who achieves the sustenance of his livelihood in his
own city, and is present with his family (every morning and in the evenings)’.13

No Need to ‘Worry too much’ for family:

yourself with (the affairs of) your wife and your children, for if your wife and your
children are friends of Allahazwj, then Allahazwj will not Waste Hisazwj friends, but if they
