Kamil Ahmad – Fulfilling your Responsibilities as Parents

He says, Whoever neglects teaching

his children

what will benefit him,

then he has left him

in vain and he has done them a

great injustice.

The deviation

and the corruption

of most children

has only come from their parents

and their neglect of them,

not teaching them the fundamentals of their religion.

They neglected them when they were young

and now when these children are older,

they did not benefit themselves

nor their parents when they got older. And

so this is a reality that we are

living in today. It's as if he was

speaking about our situation today. How many times

does the imam of the masjid have to

deal

with children when their parents come and their

teenage children

have gone astray? And they come

and they tell the imam,

My son,

my daughter

has gone astray.

They're having doubts about Islam.

They don't believe in Allah.

1 has become gay, another has become lesbian.

Come and fix them.

Now,

after an entire childhood

of neglecting them,

and

allowing them

to live freely in this society

without watching them, without

making sure that we have given them the

proper tarbia,

and the proper Islamic education,

and put them in the right environment. Now

you come.

Now it's too late.
