In a world of social media influencers and changing trends, many parents in Bangladesh are worried about one thing: Adab (Manners). We often hear parents say, “My child argues too much” or “They have lost respect for elders.”
As parents, we want our children to be successful doctors and engineers, but we also want them to be kind, humble, and respectful. To achieve this, we can look at the best role model: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Here are three simple yet powerful parenting lessons from his life that you can apply today.
1. Connection Before Correction
The Prophet (PBUH) was known for his gentleness with children. He would kiss his grandchildren, let them ride on his back during prayer, and greet children on the street. The Lesson: Before you scold your child for a mistake, ask yourself: Have I connected with them today? Children listen to those they feel loved by. Build the bond first, and discipline becomes easier.
2. Be the Mirror
Children do not do what you say; they do what you do. If you want your child to speak softly, you cannot shout at them. If you want them to be honest, you cannot tell “white lies” in front of them. The Lesson: The Prophet (PBUH) was known as Al-Amin (The Trustworthy) long before he was a prophet. Your character is their textbook.
3. Routine and Consistency
Islam teaches us discipline through the five daily prayers. A child who sees a structured routine at home feels more secure and behaves better. The Lesson: Establish simple routines—eating together, sleeping on time, and revising a small portion of the Quran daily.
