Pearl of Wisdom

'When the Day of Resurrection comes, man will be handed his book and told, 'Read it.' [The reporter of the tradition then asked him], 'And will he know what is in it?' to which he replied, 'Verily he will remember it. There will not remain a single moment, a single word, a single footstep or anything that he did which he will not remember, as if he had done it that very hour. And this is why they will say, Woe to us! What a book this is! It omits nothing, big or small without enumerating it.?

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]
Ibid. no. 34

Question : #411 Category: Family Issues
Subject: cursing our children
Question: Salaam. Is it permissible for a mother to yell and cuss at her children for no reason.
Answer: Parents should always demonstrate restrain and patience especially when dealing with children.

A mother, or anyone for this matter should NOT curse in the name of Allah or the Prophets or their Family, and should inform their children on why they are upset through wisdom.

It is incumbent on the children to accept their mother's request at all times unless it's in direct contradiction to the teachings of Islam.

A mother or anyone for this matter should not curse their children with terms that can have impact on their upbringing.

A child must realise that a mother / father may get frustrated at times due to the pressures of life. so the children should not provoke such animosity.
