the difference between the proper and improper; permissible, lawful, and
forbidden, unlawful;
Show
the difference between the truth and falsehood;

the difference between the good and the bad;
Show
the difference between honourable labour and work driven by greed;
Show
the difference between knowledge and ignorance;
Show
the difference between benevolence and malevolence; good and evil;
Don’t
do this through words. If you have understood the difference for
yourself, in this case you will have provided proper guidance for your
children. Benevolence means sacrificing your own interests, and
malevolence is the disregarding of others’ interests. The damage
caused by malevolence and the benefit that benevolence generates are not
immediately obvious.
The
malevolent man blames time and society for his faults, without ever
looking at himself. Teach your child to improve himself, he will do the
rest himself.
Don’t
do favours for the sake of gaining title or reputation.
Faith
in Allah is the greatest guarantee that you will serve the public.
Avoiding
difficult tasks, turning to improper and forbidden deeds because they
are easier is a betrayal of your child. A person seeking worldly
benefits by doing favours to others could easily engage in improper and
unlawful deeds too.
Protect
your child so that he doesn’t become like that!
