Fathers  
     
1. Narrated by the humble servant of One Islam, whose name means al-Haqq from Allah’s Apostle in vision, saying: “All that a pure believer needs is within the True and Holy Qur’an. This is the first. Honor the sacred deed (constitution) of One Islam second. Respect these authentic Hadith of Allah's Apostle and no other is the third. Finally, honor all other sacred scripture that respects Allah as one who loves all life, peace and wisdom. Never raise false sayings and false scripture above these four things.”  
2.

The Prophet said, “Father’s who are absent from the support and schooling of their children without right cause are guilty of a crime against Islam.”

 
3.

The Prophet said, “The greatest father is one who bestows love and respect to his children that is equal to even an ounce of the love of Allah to him.”

 
4. The Prophet said, “A father who does wicked acts risks not only his soul, but those of his children; for it is to our parents that children first turn for example.”  
5.

The Prophet said, “In Islam, Fatherhood is a blessing not an obligation.”

 
6. The Prophet said, “Allah shall hold every father accountable not only for any acts of evil and ignorance, but any actions of their children as well. The worst kind of inheritance is when a father teachers his children his own deficiencies.”  
7.

The Prophet said, “When planning for children, a father should honor Allah and praise his wife with their first child; Gives thanks and honor to one’s tribe upon the birth of any second child and thereafter seek further children as may benefit the community and nation.”
