This is the second time I use this image for my blog. In my previous post using the same image I have breifly mentioned about Kufi style of Arabic calligraphy . But this time I would like to say a few words about the Arabic phrase in the above image. It is just one of the Quranic verse from Surah Al-Kahfi that is interpreted as "Your riches and your children may be but a trial" (Qur'an 64:15)
Every faithful muslim, man or woman keeps going to be tested in person, posessions and children in order he or she to meet Allah clear of sin. The forbearance we endure for all strain in this life dictate the reward and forgiveness we will receive in the day of Resurrection.
Since our children are but a trial it is then our duty to instill our children to Islam. It is only through Islam that they can become good and be of service to Allah. It means that we pass Allah's trial when our children worship and please our creator. Remember that the best things that we can give to our children is knowledge of Islam based on the Quran and Sunnah. Bear in mind that we learn authentic knowledge of Islam not only for our own success but to be able to share the knowledge with others, especially to our children since as parent we are accountable to their success and failure.
