Thread: A Father's Advice to his Son

The Holy Qur'an says, "O my son, establish prayer and bid doing good and forbid evil and be patient over whatever befall upon." (Surah Luqman, verse 17)

My Beloved Prophet sallalaho alaihe wasallam's beloved devotees! We can see from this verse the advice a father should give to his child or children. The words and advice of Hazrat Luqman alaihis salaam, a respected Prophet of Allah Ta'ala, were always full of wisdom. Allah Ta'ala took one of his sayings and placed them in the Qur'an. What is that saying? It is when he said, "Oh my son, establish prayer and order people to do good." We see from this that a father should think about his children's religious matters as well as worldly necessities. We should promise ourselves that we will be punctual in prayer and we will attempt to make our children and our whole family punctual in prayer. May Allah Ta'ala guide us all to be punctual in our prayers. Aameen
