The Islamic way of upbringing, also known as tarbiyah, is deemed an essential responsibility that is tied to each one of us, as parents, caretakers, and educators. It is Allah, who has entrusted us with this responsibility of guardianship over the dependents under our care.
As humans, it is natural to yearn for respect, compassion, justice, honesty and all other things which give us a sense of validation, but when it comes to giving, we do not realize how stingy we stand out to be.
