Advise your child with an admonition similar to what Luqmaan instructed his child: Allaah the Exalted said: “And (remember) when Luqmaan said to his son while he was advising him, ‘O my son! Do not associate anything (in worship) with Allaah. Indeed! Associating others (in worship) with Allaah is a great injustice.’ And We have enjoined upon man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents. His mother carried him (increasing her) in weakness and hardship upon weakness and hardship, and his weaning is to be two years. Give thanks to Me and to your parents; unto Me is the final destination. But if they strive to make you associate others with Me in worship that which you have no knowledge, then do not obey them, but behave with them in this world considerately, and follow the way of those who return to Me in repentance. Then unto Me will be your return, and I will inform you of what you used to do. ‘O my son! If it (i.e. wrong) should be the weight of a mustard seed, and should be in a rock, or (anywhere) in the heavens or the earth, Allaah will bring it forth. Indeed, Allaah is Subtle, Well-Acquainted. O my son! Establish the prayer, enjoin the good, forbid the evil, and endure with patience whatever afflicts you. Certainly! These are from the most important of matters. And do not turn your cheek (in contempt) toward the people, and do not walk exuberantly through the earth. Indeed, Allaah does not like the self-deluded, boaster. And be moderate in your pace, and lower your voice. Certainly, the harshest of sounds is the braying of the donkey.’”[Soorah Luqmaan 31:13-19]
