Embed the love and power of Allah in your children
Teach them to say “la-illaha illa Allah” (there is no god but Allah) as a start of establishing the love of Allah.
Allah says:
“O ye who believe, save yourself and your family from the fire.” [Qur’an: Chapter 6, Verse 66]
Instill in them the belief that all things happen by the will of Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He): if they ask you for something, ask them to pray two rakaahs with you and make du’aa to Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) to provide whatever they want. This way, you’re teaching your child that when we ask, we ask from Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) alone, and we rely on Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) for our provision.
Teach them to love Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) and follow His laws through your conversations with them. It’s absolutely crucial for our children to understand why we have to obey Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He) and His laws – it’s the essence of our worship.
if you want your child to love Allah, then you have to love Allah first. Now, it is not enough to say that you just love Allah, but you must keep on modeling it on your every day, as your kids are watching you at your best and worst times of the day. That is why they must see that you love Allah in all aspects.
Well said
