Say, for  example, you may not find any specific direction that one should eat  food and fulfill the physical needs. Obviously normal human beings would  not abandon fulfilling their basic needs. In fact, love for the  children has been so deeply rooted in all the creatures that they find  themselves compelled to provide them with their needs and are naturally  inclined to look after them. In an Islamic society, parents are also  supposed to give special care to the spiritual needs of the children.  Our responsibilities include teaching and guiding them regarding their  moral and religious obligations as well. <\/p>\n<div>Since  it seldom happens that parents do not look after their own children and  ignore the basic responsibilities in this regard, Islam has neither  given expressive directives regarding chidren\u2019s upbringing nor explained  the consequences of non-compliance; but it is obvious that fulfilling  duties arising out of tacit agreements is a binding obligation on us.  The Qur\u2019an says:<\/div>\n<div>\u2026who  attend to their Salah and pay the Zakah; who, when they enter into an  agreement, fulfill it; especially those who remain steadfast in  privation, affliction and in times of war. (2:177)<\/div>\n<p>The  directive of keeping up promises covers all kinds of duties both to  fellow human beings and to the Creator, whether they emanate from  written agreements or tacit ones. Thus it includes all these  responsibilities which are taken to be granted as binding for one.  Therefore, the Almighty will of course take the people to account for  their negligence in this regard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-10<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6808\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the consequence of ignoring my responsibilities as a mother and abandoning looking after my children?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14147,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1162],"tags":[1577,2399,1941,1236],"class_list":["post-6808","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-social-issues","tag-children","tag-mother","tag-responsibility","tag-rights"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
