Title: Speech to Fathers and Mothers • Size: 10230 • Last Modified: Sat, 17 Dec 2005 11:18:30 GMT

If the origins (races) have an absolute effect and that God, Praise be to Him, left abilities according to the requirement of the secrets of His great Wisdom and wish in forming shapes and figures, and if climate has an effect on the difference of colours and tempers, then heredity has also a great effect on forming bad and good talents (gifts). So, we find Islam pay great attention (care)to this aspect. The Great Messenger Mohammed, (Peace upon him) said, "Choose for your semen (sperms), and also said, "The Uncle is one of the two bed-fellows. The will of Amir AL-Mu'meneen, The comrade of the faithful (Ali) (peace upon him) to Akeel saying, "Choose for me a woman (wife) that was born by the elites (laurels) of Arabs of high birth.

All these proofs and evidences prove that Islam cares much for heredity. These are directions and advice to fathers and mothers who leave effects on the nature and instinct of the new children. If you think deeply, you will find the children of the educated people are different from the children of the illiterate people, then there is no wonder to notice that a lion generates (produces) a lionet (lion-like). There is no wonder when we find a person willing to (inclined to) purity and spotlessness when he comes from a pure family and clean offspring (descendants) according to the fact that the accursed tree produces a deadly bitter taste that kills you at once as poison and makes hearts abhor it. What we mentioned above is not sufficient to create (form) a man carrying inside himself humanitarian meanings without the care of the parents or another person does that task (mission) to build a good and righteous child with clean upbringing correctly and perfectly given that sometimes the child grows according to his sallies and desires.

The ignorance of the correct upbringing of the parents to take the patronage as they have experience and wisdom and we add to that the parents should possess love, humanity and compassion towards their children.

In most cases and we can also say in all cases that the new child will grow up, whatever he is or she is, will be effected by the education, upbringing and environment of the parents then he grows up according to that. It will be fit to the deep and general expression and description when the Great Messenger of God (Peace upon him) where it was related about him saying, "Every child is born in a state of nature (instinctively), but his parents are responsible for his being Christian, Jewish or (in another narrative) a Magus" (a group in Iran, before Islam, worshipping fire) for boys and girls all. The new child with whom the mother speaks with honest words full of love and mercy until the child attains his majority of age. This sort of children is different from the mother's children whose hands are spotted with many sins and disobediences. The son on whom the father spends the best gains purely from his forehead sweating (perspiration) and the father encircles (surrounds) his sons with his kindness, pity and looking after under his verdant and blooming shade. He will feed his child with manhood and firmness. We can say that this type of children is different from the children who grew up under the shade of crimes, eating and gaining illegally and disobediences. Those children hear only from their family the words of libertinism, debauchee songs and immorality, you should know, Moslem mother, that you are yourself asked in dooms day about the conduct and behavior of your children and should follow the way of the pure AL-Zhara, Fatima, (Peace upon her) to produce and bring your children up according to AL-Hussein's way (Peace upon him) in his courage and boldness, and in his sacrifice to defend God's right on the earth, you should bring girls up according to the characters and morals of the pure lady "Zaineb" (Peace upon her). She is an example for women in honour, purity, science, firmness, patience and resistance after her mother. The spring-water of Islam can not be exhausted (inexhaustible) and that the great messenger (Peace upon him) said in his eternal speech: "say, there is no god but God, (koloo la Illah illa Allah tuflihoo), you will succeed."

The nation that was originated by the great prophet is able, as in the past, to produce persons following the traces of Khadeeja, Fatima, Zaineb and other virtuous women who entered history from its large gate, leaving their deeds, purity to be an example for every woman who wants to win the victory for her and for her children too. Father, you may ignore the responsibility that is waiting for you when the new child comes into existence. That child whom you deposited in a womb (Matrix) chosen by your pure will only. You must realize that responsibility. Your are the second stage of the first school for your child. Don't think that you will elude the responsibility when you become remiss. Every thing that comes from the child during all his life, bad or good, is apart of your responsibility. Be a follower to the great messenger (Peace upon him) and Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib too and the heroes of Islam. Those persons have the typical ideals. We must follow them and to be from the followers of Hussein (Peace upon him) in manhood, dignity, prestige, firmness, nobleness and sacrifice for creed. Work hard to gain your livelihood legally to build a generation that is struggling for doctrine, honor and homeland.

This is my speech to the fathers and mothers, I hope God will make them benefit of it. He is the Most Hearer and Respondent.
