🌹START YOUR CHILDREN’S LIVES WITH TAWHEED 🌹

The first thing parents (especially mothers) should be teaching their children is “Tawheed”.

Ummu Sulaim (radiallaahu ‘anha) would teach her son Anas (radiyallaahu ‘anhu), saying:

“Say: ‘Laa illaaha il Allaah (none has the right to be worshipped in truth except Allaah)

Say: ‘Ash-hadu anna Muhammadar Rasulullaah (I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah) ‘” This was BEFORE the age of weaning

– Siyar A’laam an-Nubalaa’ (2/305)

So you should be teaching Tawheed even before the age of two.

Some tips on how you can teach Tawheed to your babies include:

1.Repeat to them the Kalimah

“Laa’ilaaha illallah Muhammadur Rasoolullah” right from the day they are born all the time until they can pronounce it (doesn’t matter if they dont pronounce it correctly as toddlers have limited speech skills)

2.Teach them Tawheed Ruboobiyyah – teach them that ﷲ͜عَزَّوَجَــــل is our Creator, the Only One. Tell them ﷲ͜عَزَّوَجَــــل created everything.

Ask them who created you? Your mum , dad? siblings? Teach them that ﷲ͜عَزَّوَجَــــل created everything.

When they look at the Sun or stars tell them it is ﷲ͜عَزَّوَجَــــل who created everything.
Make them focus on big & small creations. Even the ant, tell them ﷲ͜عَزَّوَجَــــل created it.
This makes them realise that everythingis created by ﷲ͜عَزَّوَجَــــل.

3. Teach them “Tawheed al Uloohiyyah” – teach kids that we worship ﷲ͜عَزَّوَجَــــل we only ask Him for help. When you pray Salaah & children imitate you, teach them you are praying only to ﷲ͜عَزَّوَجَــــل
When your child needs something for example, if a toddler is crying for a new toy; teach them to make dûāā & ask ﷲ͜عَزَّوَجَــــل even for the smallest things. If they want a lolly even for that teach them to ask ﷲ͜عَزَّوَجَــــل.

4. Teach your child Tawakkuul that is , to rely upon ﷲ͜عَزَّوَجَــــل for everything – when your child is scared or worried, teach them tawakkuul and dont tell them “I’m here or your dad is here, don’t worry’ , rather teach them “ﷲ͜عَزَّوَجَــــل is with you”
He is the Best Protector. He will look after you.

This will teach your child to rely upon ﷲ͜عَزَّوَجَــــل rather than you or any other human being. Even if you die or you are sick & your child feels lonely, they will learn to rely on ﷲ͜عَزَّوَجَــــل and trust Him. When your child is worried, tell them ﷲ͜عَزَّوَجَــــل will make things better. When your child is sick, teach them to turn to Allah to make dua to Him & ask Him for shifa.

5. Teach them “Tawheed al-Asma was Sifaat”- teach your children the Names & Attributes of ﷲ͜عَزَّوَجَــــل from an early age.

Ask them where is ﷲ͜عَزَّوَجَــــل ?

Tell them ﷲ͜عَزَّوَجَــــل is above all the Heavens. When a child is naughty , tell them ﷲ͜عَزَّوَجَــــل is Watching them that He sees all. If they throw a tantrum or become angry tell them that ﷲ͜عَزَّوَجَــــل Hears them. If your child is being impatient tell them Allah Loves those who are patient. When you take your child to the beach or when they see rainbow tell them Allaah is the Creator , He designed everything.

Remember the happiest people are the people of Tawheed, so if you want your child to be content & happy both in dunya and aakhira, teach them Tawheed. ♥️
