Pearl of Wisdom

'Asceticism is summed up between two phrases in the Qur'an, where Allah, most High, says, So that you may not grieve for what has escaped you, nor be exultant at what he has given you. Therefore, one who neither grieves about past losses nor is overjoyed about the possessions he is granted has perfected his asceticism from both sides.'

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as]
Ibid. v. 70, p. 317, no. 23

Parenting in Islam

It has been rightly pointed out that the western libraries are chock full of works on child rearing and upbringing, but we find hardly any comprehensive reference on the subject with particular emphasis on the Islamic norms and guidelines for upbringing of children.

The Western works are more materialistic which emphasize only on the material and moral aspects of child rearing.
It is Islam that covers all the aspects including the religious and spiritual guidelines for bringing up the children as good Muslims and citizens. Here it is extensively quoted from the Holy Book and the Traditions of the Holy Prophet and his Infallible Descendants in regards to Parenting.
