One of the duties parents owe their children is to guide them aright by educating them. They are obliged to correct their children’s errors and most importantly guide them to live a life that is pleasing to Allah and teach them a means of achieving it. Allah (SW) points these duties to parents, particularly the fathers, in His Book (the Qur’an) when He gave the example of Luqmaan and his son. “And (remember) when Luqmaan said to his son when he was advising him: “O my son! Join not in worship others with Allaah. Verily! Joining others in worship with Allah is a great Zulm (wrong) indeed.” (Luqmaan 31:13)

Our success as parents is determined largely by how well we are able to discharge those responsibilities Allah has placed on us regarding out children. This book explains different aspects of the advice of Luqmaan to his son and its significance for a successful life.
