Description: Ibn Al Qayyim (May Allah have mercy on him) said: "Whoever fails to teach his offspring beneficial behavior and leaves them alone and helpless, will have harmed them in the highest degree. Most children have inherited their corruption from their fathers, their negligence, and their disregard for the teaching of religion and the sunnah.These fathers led their offspring astray from childhood.And the children were never useful neither to themselves nor to their fathers in the evening of their lives. Here, in this regard, is how a son replied to his father who reproached him for being disobedient: "My father, you disobeyed me when I was child, I disobey you today that you are old; you lost me when I was born, so I lose you in your old age."
