Children and Love of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

Question: Alsalamualaikum, how can we attract our children to the love of Prophet Muhammad SAWS?

Shaykh AI:

B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (Q), attracting our children to the love of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ begins with setting a positive example and creating an environment that fosters love, respect, and admiration for the Prophet ﷺ.

One of the most effective ways to instill the love of the Prophet ﷺ in our children is by embodying the Prophetic character in our own actions and interactions. By demonstrating kindness, compassion, and noble conduct in our daily lives, we set a powerful example for our children to follow.

Additionally, teaching our children about the life, teachings, and character of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ through stories, hadiths, and seerah (biography) lessons can help them develop a deep connection with the Prophet ﷺ. Sharing the beautiful qualities and virtues of the Prophet ﷺ can inspire our children to emulate his noble example.

Furthermore, engaging in regular recitation of salawat (blessings) and durood sharif (praising upon the Prophet) as a family can create a spiritual atmosphere that nurtures love for the Prophet ﷺ. Encouraging our children to participate in gatherings where the love and praise of the Prophet ﷺ are celebrated can also deepen their appreciation and affection for the Beloved Messenger.

Moreover, involving our children in acts of service and charity inspired by the teachings of the Prophet ﷺ can help them understand and internalize the essence of his message. Teaching them to embody the Prophetic qualities of generosity, mercy, and empathy towards others can further cultivate their love for the Prophet ﷺ.

By creating a loving, nurturing, and Prophetic environment at home, we can attract our children to the love of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and inspire them to follow in his blessed footsteps.

May Allah bless our efforts in nurturing the love of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in the hearts of our children and grant them a deep and abiding connection with the Beloved of Allah. Ameen.
