The Status of Children

PARENTING: AN ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE perceive all these aspects from the same perspective and constantly strive to pass this test. The essence of this matter is that individuals should make their Creator their most significant concern. No worldly possessions should be their sole focus whether wealth, children, or power. One who makes other things besides God their concern will not pass the test and rise in the Hereafter as a destitute person when all his support has been cut off from him. At that time, they will lament, realizing their wealth did not benefit them and their power has vanished (Quran 69:28-29). Therefore, children, in reality, are a matter of responsibility rather than a matter of pride.
