My Little Ones - Guide From Surah Luqman

In my mind, an understanding of what is in the Quran from an early age is important. Do not have in your mind to be good because Mummy and Daddy told you so. I am certain Allah do not impose religion upon us to make life difficult  for us to abide, to the righteous path. For my Little Ones (including my 20 year old baby, who will be leaving home soon ) this is a  summarised guide to follow from Surah Luqman:

31:12 - Be grateful to Allah (bersyukur kepada Allah);
31:13 - Do not associate anything with Allah ( janganlah mempersekutukan Allah)
31:14 - Be grateful to your parents (berbuat baik kepada kedua ibu bapa mu)
31:15 - If asked to associate Allah with another, do not obey but treat them with kindness yet follow those who repent (jika keduanya memaksa kamu mempersekutukan Allah, maka janganlah kamu mengikutnya, pergaulilah keduanya didunia dengan baik, tujulah kejalan bersama orang yang bertaubat)
31:16 - Allah is all Knowing even if your kindness is as small as a mustard seed, you will be rewarded (jika ada perbuatan sebesar biji sawi tersembunyi pun nescaya Allah akan membalasnya)
31:17 - Establish prayer, enjoin what is right, forbid what is wrong, and be patient over what befalls you (dirikan solat, kerjakan yang baik, tinggalkan yang mungkar, bersabar atas segala musibah dan bersabar dalam hal-hal yang diwajibkan)
31:18 - Allah does not like everyone self-deluded and boastful.(jangan sombong, jangan angkuh)
31:19 - Be moderate in your pace and lower your voice (sederhanalah bila berjalan dan lunakan suara)

Follow these guide, insyallah you will be among the priceless assets left behind.
