With the name of Allah the Merciful, who has mercy

The importance of offspring in Islam and rituals associated with the birth of children and their education in the light of Quran and Sunnah.

Children play an important role in Islam, for which reason the Shari'ah has set rules for their education, including those related to meeting the newborn that enters into life. After the formation of the pious generation today is the key to the prosperity of the Islamic community tomorrow, for it is these young people with the permission of Allah, and will become part of the foundation of this community.

Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and his noble Companions and the Imams from among the righteous predecessors (salaf) are an excellent example of Muslim upbringing - both children and adults. But, unfortunately, in our time, many Muslims exchanged beautiful Islamic rituals associated with the birth of children and their upbringing, to customs and traditions, which they took over from the infidels and the wicked. Some of the Muslims, unfortunately, do not take the proper participation, to educate their children in the bosom of Islam. But it is the parents, first of all, your child vaccinated faith or lack of faith! After the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every baby born in his nature (Islam), but his parents make him a Jew, a Christian or a fire worshiper!" Al-Bukhari 1359, 1385; Muslim, 2658.

Imam Ibn al-Kayim said: "He who has neglected the education of his child, leaving him to himself, he went against him the worst way! Corruption majority of children come from their parents because of their negligence in respect of them and leaving them training that is required and desirable in religion. And these kids are lost, while still young. " See. "Tuhfatul-Maudud" 229.
