Teaching children to have confidence in
themselves and shoulder responsibility
Muslim narrated from Sa‘d al-‐Saa‘idi
that a drink was brought to
the Messenger of Allaah (S.A.W) and he drank some. On his right
there was a young boy and on his left were some older men. He
said to the young boy: “Will you give me permission to give it to
these men?” The boy said: No,
by Allaah, I will not give up my
share of you to anyone.
In this hadeeth we see that the Messenger (S.A.W) wanted to
build the character of the new generation
and teach them to
have self-‐confidence and to have the courage to say what they
believed was correct.

(S.A.W) went to visit him. He sat at his head and said to him:
“Become Muslim.” (The boy) looked at his father who was there,
and he said: Obey Abu’l-‐Qaasim.
So he became Muslim and the
Prophet (S.A.W) went out saying: “Praise be to Allah Who has
saved him from the Fire.”

be pleased with her) came and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah,
al-‐Hassan and al-‐Husayn have gotten lost.’ That was in the middle
of the day. The Prophet (S.A.W) said: ‘Go and look for my two
sons.’ Each man
went in a different direction, and I followed the
Prophet (S.A.W); he kept going until he reached the slope of the
mountain, where he saw al-‐Hassan and al-‐Husayn clinging to one
another, and there was a snake that had
