How Righteous Parents Raise Righteous Children | Shaykh Farid Sulayman

We all want righteous children. But are we becoming the righteous parents we want our children to follow? In this powerful Islamic reminder, Shaykh Farid Sulayman explores how the righteousness of parents can shape generations, drawing lessons from Surah Al-Kahf and the remarkable life of Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr (رضي الله عنه). Allah ﷻ tells us about two orphans whose treasure was protected beneath a wall because *“their father had been righteous.”* (Qur'an 18:82) Through the inspiring story of Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr, his father az-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam, and his courageous mother Asma bint Abi Bakr (رضي الله عنهم), discover the importance of faith, courage, salah, and raising children upon the Qur'an and Sunnah. In a world filled with distractions, peer pressure, and fitnah, how can we become the parents our children need? *The greatest gift you can leave your children is your example of righteousness.* ⏱️ *VIDEO CHAPTERS* 00:00 - Introduction & The Blessing of Children 02:30 - The Lesson from Surah Al-Kahf: Why the Wall Was Built 04:30 - How Parental Righteousness Protects the Next Generation 05:35 - Protecting Our Children from Modern Fitnah 07:12 - The Noble Lineage of Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr 08:30 - The Legendary Sujud & Khushu' in Prayer 10:07 - The First Child Born to the Muhajirun in Madinah 12:20 - Upbringing of a Warrior: az-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam's Example 14:05 - Courage and Steadfastness 20:15 - The Siege of Makkah & Standing Firm on Truth 22:15 - Salah Amidst the Fire: Unwavering Focus 27:20 - The Final Advice of Asma bint Abi Bakr to Her Son 35:36 - The Final Stand and Martyrdom 40:00 - Practical Steps: Returning to the Masjid and True Devotion 44:55 - Q&A: Understanding Historical Trials and Fitnah 📖 *QUR'ANIC REFLECTION* “And their father had been righteous.” — Surah Al-Kahf 18:82 ❤️ Share this lecture with every Muslim parent and anyone hoping to raise the next generation upon Islam. 🔔 Subscribe for more Islamic lectures, inspiring stories of the Sahabah, and beneficial reminders from the Qur'an and Sunnah. #MuslimParenting #RighteousChildren #IslamicReminder #ShaykhFaridSulayman #IslamicParenting #Sahabah #IslamicLectures #MuslimFamily
