“O My servants… do not despair of the mercy of Allah.” (Qur’an 39:53) Hope, alongside faith, is fundamental to raising strong, God-conscious children. Raja’ , the confident expectation of what Allah (SWT) has promised, is in one’s firm belief in His power and wisdom. Thus, we should instill in children that Allah (SWT) is always aware of what we are experiencing, and that difficulties are meant to bring us closer to Allah (SWT). We must remember that He is the Most Powerful, yet He is also the Most Merciful, more loving and forgiving of us than our own parents. In secular terms, optimism is an important character value. Primary predictors of depression, anxiety, even suicide, are feelings of hopelessness, especially in the face of adversity. We must raise our children to understand hope as a powerful tool for prevention and intervention during times of struggle. Our first lesson explains the importance of maintaining a balance between hope and fear. (Source: Noor Kids)
