Pearl of Wisdom

narrating from his father, 'When the enemy was defeated in the Battle of the Camel, the Commander of the Faithful (AS) said that no one who has fled should be chased, and no one who has been wounded should be finished off, and he who closes the door of his house is safe. On the day of the Battle of iffln those who had fought or turned away were killed and the wounded were finished off. Aban Ibn Taghlib said to 'Abdullah Ibn Sharik, 'These two methods are different.' Ibn Sharik answered, 'Those who are from the Battle of the Camel killed Tal a and Zubayr, but in this battle Mu'awiya is still present and is himself leading 'lithem.'

Question : #645 Category: Family Issues
Subject: feeding a baby
Question: My baby is 5 months old. What are the advices according to islam for feeding n taking care of him? when and how should i start his formal education? Thanks
Answer: Islam has divided the upbringing of a child into three stages from birth to age 21.

The division is based on the following hadith of the Prophet (s.a.w.): "The child is the master for seven years; and a slave for seven years and a vizier for seven years; so if he grows into a good character within 21 years, well and good; otherwise leave him alone because you have discharged your responsibility before Allah."

The same hadith has been explained by Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq (a.s.): "Let your child play upto seven years; and keep him with you (for education and training) for another seven years; then if he succeeds (well and good); otherwise, there is no good in him."
