be a good father

Today was a special day. All the family with grandmother spent the morning in the kids’ school. There was a lot of games and fun. The surprise that my wife and the young daughter came in the third place in KG marathon. While me & the older girl came in the fifth place in primary grades marathon.

The best thing that children had a lot of fun with friends and family.

are spent with family. They deserve the best.

My model is the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). He was a father, stepfather and grandfather who showed us by his words and deeds how to treat children. He held small children on his lap (and did not push them off in disgust when they peed on him) and hugged and kissed them. He never hit or verbally abused a child, but taught and disciplined children with kind words, gentle remonstrance, and gentle handling such as turning their heads away from evil sights.

Strong families are the basis of a strong society. That is why Islam forbids pre and extramarital sex and discourages divorce. Adolescents are not encouraged to grow up too soon or pushed into relationships with the opposite sex. Young children as well as teenagers continue to receive love and guidance at home. In families and societies with strong Islamic precepts, it is rare to see the problems with rebellious teenagers that are common in other societies.
