Respect for Children


Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Give due respect and
regard to your children and decorate them with the best of
manners.” [Abu Daud]

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wasallam) would be the first to give
salaam to children as he would pass them, thereby teaching them
Islamic manners with his own example. He (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam)
would have sweets and dates for them. Once the Prophet (sal Allahu
alaihi wa sallam) was giving one of his grandsons a ride when somebody
remarked, “What an excellent ride you have!” to his grandson. Rasul
Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) immediately drew attention to the
child instead by saying, “Don’t you see what an excellent rider I
have!” This was the nature of Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa
sallam), that he would give love and importance to children. Are you
on the sunnah of Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam)?
