Publisher's Synopsis
"The Predecessors" is a concise guide on raising an extraordinary child. In today's world, parents need to understand child upbringing more than ever before. However, the available resources are either in Arabic or quite lengthy. This luster book comes to fill the gap.
History offers insights into the lives of people from the past, serving not only to pass time but also to provide lessons for learning, reflection, and growth. The book narrates stories of wayward and simple-minded sons of certain pious predecessors.
The book establishes the saying of Imam Dar Al Hijrah:
"Righteousness is from Allah, not inheritable from the parent."
The main aim is to help you realize that guidance comes from Allah. Teaching and discipline are important, but they are incomplete without supplication. The book also seeks to prevent undue blame on pious predecessors and scholars who had less devout children.
