The Ideal MuslimahChapters (5), (6), (7), (8)3Chapter 5: The Muslim Woman and Her ChildrenIntroductionUndoubtedly children are a source of great joy and delight; they make life sweet, bring more rizq into a family'slife and give hope. A father sees his children as a future source of help and support, as well as representing anincrease in numbers and perpetuation of the family. A mother sees her children as a source of hope, consolationand joy in life, and as hope for the future. All of these hopes rest on the good upbringing of the children andgiving them a sound preparation for life, so that they will become active and constructive elements in society, asource of goodness for their parents, community and society as a whole. Then they will be as (SWT) describedthem: Wealth and sons are allurements of the life of this world . . .(Qur'an 18:46)If their education and upbringing are neglected, they will become bad characters, a burden on their family,community and society as a whole.She understands the great responsibility that she has towards her childrenThe Muslim woman never forgets that the mother's responsibility in bringing up the children and forming theircharacters is greater than that of the father, because children tend to be closer to their mother and spend moretime with her; she knows all about their behavioural, emotional and intellectual development during theirchildhood and the difficult years of adolescence.Hence the woman who understands the teachings of Islam and her own educational role in life, knows hercomplete responsibility for the upbringing of her children, as is referred to in the Qur'an: O you who believe!Save yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is Men and Stones . . .(Qur'an 66:6)Dr. Muhammad Ali Al-Hashimi
