Question From: Manahil Rehman
AsSalaamualaykum,
I pray we all have children who from such a young age start the work of Allah(SWT). InshAllah Huzaifa will grow up to do great works for the pleasure of Allah(SWT) with khair.
If you could kindly ask the sister to tell us how she brought her son up and maybe give a few tips on bringing up children. JazakAllah Khair

My dear sister Manahil
Asalamu alaikum
Alhamdulillah all praise to Allah who gives us the ability to please Him. May Allah accepts our efforts ameen.Manahil jee the answer to your question is Qura'n. it is Qura'n that brings the changes.Here are some suggestions to bring your children closer to Allah (swt)
1) Ustazah taught us one activity that really worked and it was to make the children sit with you and listen to the recitation of Quran for 15 to 20 min. Tell them briefly about one strong ayah from that recitation. Ask them what did they understand. This activity was amazing mashaAllah.(just be nice to them. Give them a good snack after the activity.)
2) No matter what I am doing recitation of Quran is turned on. I never get tired from it. They are used to listening to it all the time. Like people they have background music our ears enjoy the words of Allah.
3) In the morning when I am preparing breakfast I turn on the morning evening duas (by mishaari, he has a beautiful way of saying the duas so children have amazingly memorized the duas without any difficulty).
4) keep on telling them one truth and that is that for them there shouldnt be anything more important than Allahs love. If they will obey Allah and love Him they will get respect from people and mercy from Allah.
5) frequently mention the day of judgement and death infront of the children .I listen to surah al Haaqqah very often and the children listen to it too.The qari cries alot on the ayaat.After recitation one day my son himmself questioned me mom what is the meaning of these ayaat. Why is he crying so much.So through that they came to know so many things about akhirah.
6) Make dua for them so that Allah chooses them for His deen.
May Allah keep all the muslims and especially our young children in His protection so that they can become the true mo'mineen. ameen
