Here’s one amazing thing I have discovered about parenting…
it isn’t about the kids! It’s about the parents. That’s right! To be excellent parents, we need to focus on ourselves: how well we regulate our emotions, which daily habits we implement, and how self-disciplined we are.
I know that responsibility can sound overwhelming. Being a parent can feel ridiculously difficult! When our kids are little, it’s physically exhausting for us, and as they get older, we are mentally exhausted. And while becoming a parent is one of the most amazing blessings, Alhamdullilah, fear and worry are two of the most commonly experienced emotions.
We don’t have to walk this daunting path alone, though. We have our Creator who sustains us and His Quran for guidance. We have the example (sunnah) of the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him), and we have our ties of brotherhood and sisterhood.
I believe that to improve as parents, we must focus first on our relationship with Allah. Everything starts there because faith is the very foundation we should build our life on. Faith is the filter we should put everything through.
Before we speak, act, or react, we should put our intentions through the filter of Islam and ask ourselves, “Is this what the Prophet (pbuh) would have done? Will this bring me closer to Allah, or farther from Him?”
