You will have to make so many changes to your lives and so may investments, that only Allah will reward you. The truth is you will have to raise yourself before you raise children. Otherwise, the first thing kids ask why you don’t do what you make them do? And I do believe this, because apart from what we teach them, children, always find it easier doing things they see us do as parents. One of the things they said they realized was that in order to apply something to your kids you will need to apply same thing to yourself. Knowing and following up with Maryam made me want to know how her parents made it because I wanted to learn also, and I was compelled to ask them and I will be sharing with you all what they told me. They represent true role models in Maryam’s life and she is very proud of them. And by also motivating and constantly supporting her to the best of their ability. They’ve worked tirelessly just so they see that Maryam succeeds in this Dunya and in the hereafter by providing her education of the Qur’an, Sunnah, and secular one too. Maryam’s parents are and should be a model for parents. But hold on! if you don’t know who Maryam Masud is, then you won’t find it inspiring, so you need to read this then come back and go through this. This post is about ways we could bring up knowledgeable and pious kids, and I chose to take Maryam Masud as my case study. Assalam Alaikum, Thank you for stopping by.
