The Holy Prophet (peace be on him) said:
. A house without children is a house unblessed.

. Honour your young and train them in good manners.

. No father can bestow on his child a gift more precious than good upbringing.

. It is better for a man to attend to the good up-bringing of his child than to bestow a measure of corn in charity.

. It is a child's right that his father should teach him to read, write, and should provide him pure and lawful sustenance.

. He who has a daughter and does not humiliate her, nor give a son preference over her will be admitted to Paradise by Allah.

. Be mindful of your duty to Allah and act equitably between your children.

. Treat your children equitably in the matter of gifts, as you would wish them to deal equitably with you in beneficence and affection.

. The worst of men is he who is stingy towards his dependents.

. It is sin enough for a person to withdraw support from those dependent upon him.

. When children reach the age of ten, provide them with separate beds.
