👌🏼 Actions speak louder than words.

When raising children, let us pay attention to this famous proverb, “Actions speak louder than words.”
More than just talking, we must teach our child concepts by way of our actions. Consider the way numbers, addition and subtraction are taught in elementary school, where children are continuously learning math using their hands, by counting fruits, etc.
For example, the concept of being orderly should be shown to children in action. They must feel that we are orderly. Suppose you are advising your child to pray while your house is cluttered and you are not praying in a timely manner. Without a doubt, this environment will greatly reduce the effect of your words. If what we tell our children is different from what they see in us, we should not expect to get the best result in training them.

Lasting sweetness in married life

The way to achieve lasting sweetness in married life is not by looking for a flawless spouse! More than anything else, sweetness in life depends on one's good behavior even if one does not receive a good response. Looking for a flawless spouse is itself a big flaw.

A glorious, sacred institution

In order to strengthen the family and take advantage of the opportunities it presents, we must first realize that the family is something glorious and sacred. The family is one of the most important divine blessings, and it can be a place for a person’s self-improvement and spiritual growth. The family is not something like a hotel, which is just a place for resting and eating. Rather, it is the most important place for training, practicing guardianship and serving God.

📌 Two important points we must pay attention to in teaching religious concepts to children

🛑 Transferring religious concepts to children is not a complicated task as long as we are careful and pay attention to a couple of simple points.

🔻 Have suitable preparation.
👉🏼 To transfer religious concepts to children, the background must be prepared first. This preparation does not mean just religious preparation. This can also be done without using religion. That is, we can talk to children based on the language they have learned throughout their lives. For example, they have seen and experienced their parent’s love. Well, this love can be used to recognize God’s love. We can tell the child, “See how kind your mother is. God is kinder than she is!” Sometimes these methods, which do not seem to be direct religious training, are more effective.

🔻 Consider the child's language.
👉🏼 We should convey religious concepts in a language that the child understands. For example, when answering a child who asks the meaning of “Subhanallah,” we should use the words that his mother uses when talking to him and that he fully understands. We can say that “Subhanallah” means God is perfect! Similarly, it is hard for a child to understand that “Allahu Akbar” means God is greater than anything we can describe. Instead of translating this literally, we can say, “God is strong and supports all of us.” The language we use must be understandable and recognizable to the child.

💭 Think about this before you marry

In a family, a man and a woman, with structural and important differences, are placed next to each other, which brings sweetness and bitterness. If you have not anticipated this, you will not have the ability to enjoy its sweetness, nor will you have the capacity to tolerate and deal properly with its bitterness.

🔻We will have a sweet life if…

The more we are able to reduce our selfishness in life, the sweeter our life will be. Let’s try to address our own shortcomings instead of paying attention to our spouse’s shortcomings. It is narrated that Imam Sadiq (as) said, “Blessed is he who is busy with his own faults to such an extent that he does not see the faults of others.”
We must be continuously busy looking for our own faults. As a result of this, we will behave with our spouse better. And in most cases, this will also cause our spouse to improve too.

🏠Ready to go home?

Some of the questions that many people ask before going on a spiritual journey are, “I want to go for Hajj. How do I take advantage of this opportunity?” or “I want to go to Karbala. How can I benefit more from this trip?” or “I want to go to Mashhad. How can I gain more from this pilgrimage to Imam Reza (as)?”
I wish the following questions would become common among us, “I want to go home now. How can I benefit more from this opportunity of being with my family? How can I collect more reward while being in the family environment? How should I behave with my family at home to become more spiritual?”
