Fathers are directly involved in character building. They should use the correct language. The first words that Luqman Hakeem used were “Ya Bunayya: O my Son!” Address them in the best manner.When you tell your children how beautiful their names are, they feel good. Dawood Vaid shares some practical measures to tackle cribbing children.
Our first responsibility, our first duty that we have, Allah (swt) says is you and your family, save them from the hellfire.
