Rights of Parents + Children in Islam

?

Rights of Children

  • All children must be treated fair and equally
  • Children have the right to be properly brought up, raised and educated
  • Children are a trust given to parents, to whom they are responsible for on the day of Judgement
  • Children have the right to take what they need from their parents if they aren't providing it - but can't be greedy
  • Islam abolished the mentality that boys are superior to girls
  • Proper education (inc. religious) and guidance are far more important than feeding children, buying them nice clothes etc.
  • Parents need to consider what they spend their money on, making sure there's enough for their children
