The rights of the children in Islam

When we talk about 'children', we mean both boys and girls. Their rights are numerous and we may cite amongst them the upbringing, which is to develop in them the religion and good behaviour until they attach great importance to it.

Allah says,
 (Soorah at-Tahrim, 66 :6)
0h you who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a Fire whereof the fuel is men and stones.
And the Prophet said, 'Everyone of you is a
shepherd and he will be questioned for his flock; the man is a shepherd in his family and he will be

questioned for his flock".

Al-Bukhârî and Muslim report from An-Numân
ibn Bashir ( that his father Bashir ibn Sa'd,
offered him a servant. He informed the Prophet of
this and he said, 'Did you do this for all your
children? He replied, 'No.' He said, "Take him
back. And in another version, Fear Allah and be
fair with your children." And in another version,
Call someone else to witness, because I don't testify transgression
The Messenger of Allah thus named the fact
to focus on some of their children more than others a transgression and transgression is an injustice and
this is prohibited.

Children are therefore a deposit entrusted to the parents and they will have to answer for them on the Day of Resurrection. 

To educate them in religion and good behaviour therefore relieves the

responsibility of parents towards this flock. Children become straight people and are then rejoicing the

eyes of their parents in this world and in the next .This is the result of the good education of the child.
if he received a pious education, he will be beneficial to his parents, even after their death. Many parents have failed with this right, they

have neglected their children and have forgotten

them, as if they had no responsibility unto them.

They do not ask where they are going out or when

they will return; they do not question them on their

friends and their companions; they do not guide them towards good and do not forbid them no harm.

 And if the father carries out his obligations

towards his children in terms of education and

expenses, it is more likely that the child will be

obedient to his father and will give him his rights.

But if the father neglects his obligations, he deserves

to be punished, to see his child deny him his right

and to be tested by the disobedience as a reward for

his actions, because as you have done to others, you will get back
