The Holy Prophet (PBUH) used to treat children with great love and respect. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said: “Respect your children and cultivate them in the best manners”. He told parents to respect their children. He also treated everyone equally and has taught us to distribute everything fairly between children. For example, in the past only boys used to inherit property of their parents, but now girls get a share as well. By the Grace of Allah, the Holy Prophet (PBUH) abolished the custom of killing baby girls. When a baby girl was born in Arabia, she was buried alive. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) protected the dignity of girls. The Holy Prophet (PBUHrophet (PBUH) was very affectionate to children. Once the Holy Prophet’s (PBUH) grandsons came to see him. He picked them up, and kissed and cuddled them affectionately. A Bedouin who was watching him said: ‘O Messenger we have never shown affection to our children like you have shown’. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) then replied: ‘If you are deprived of love and mercy for your children, what can I do?’This incident shows how the Holy Prophet (PBUH) had great love for children. Children used to come jumping to the Holy Prophet PBUH) and he would pick them up one by one and kiss them.
HAZRAT MUHAMMAD(S.A.W) SAID:
"THOSE WHO DON'T SHOW MERCY ON CHILDREN AND DOESN'T RESPECT HIS\HER ELDERS IS NOT AMOUNGST US"
