The eminent Islamic scholar shed light on the importance of education and getting knowledge in his Friday sermon of 16th Sep. 2016 in Zahedan and termed education and edification of children the \u2018most important duty\u2019 of parents.<\/p>\n
Mawlana Abdol-Hamid began his speech in the spiritual gathering of the Sunni worshipers by the Noble Qur\u2019anic verse: \u201c\u0647\u0644 \u06cc\u0633\u062a\u0648\u06cc \u0627\u0644\u0630\u06cc\u0646 \u06cc\u0639\u0644\u0645\u0648\u0646 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0630\u06cc\u0646 \u0644\u0627\u06cc\u0639\u0644\u0645\u0648\u0646\u201d and said, \u201cAn Arab poet says \u2018orphan is not the one who loses his parents, but the real orphan is the orphan of knowledge and edification\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe most important responsibility of parents is educational and moral upbringing of children. Children should be equipped with knowledge and education; childhood, adolescence and youth are the prime times for learning. Children should learn different sciences \u2013including the Noble Qur\u2019an, rulings of Islam and sciences in seminaries and universities- in that duration,\u201d he underlined.<\/p>\n
The Hadith teacher at Darululoom Zahedan \u2013the biggest Islamic learning center of the Iranian Sunni community- alluded to the second duty of parents regarding children and said more, \u201cParents are supposed to meditate and plan for the endless life of children, as well as their worldly life. Non-Muslim and disbeliever parents only plan for the mortal life of their children and struggle only for their prosperity in the worldly life. But Muslim parents are thoughtful about the both lives of the children.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Almighty Allah has ordered us to save our children and family members from the fire whose wood is human beings and stones. It is the duty of all caretakers,\u201d he added more.<\/p>\n
The prominent Islamic scholar of the Sunni community in Iran introduced a \u2018Muslim family\u2019 in his words, saying, \u201cA pious family thinks of the mortal and immortal lives of children. Today\u2019s world is the world of competition; we should be pioneers in piety, good deeds as well as education. There are many families which have sent their all children to university equipping them with different proficiencies in various areas; it is very good step.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the other hand, there are some parents who have left their children free. They are careless about their faith, acts and education, too. Such children are real orphans who have lost the mercy of parents. Giving importance to the education and edification of children is the symbol of parents\u2019 ruth and mercy,\u201d Shaikh Abdol-Hamid made it clear.<\/p>\n
He called on the audience to focus more on \u2018moral, manner and upbringing\u2019 of children. Khateeb and Friday imam of Sunnis said, \u201cI hope people will welcome warmly Islamic seminaries and schools and universities in order to make the future of their children better.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
