He replied: "Yes, the duty of the parents to the children is to teach, swim, archery, pass on and not give rizki except for good." (This hadith is dhoif, from some Sheikhs whom he had denied. It was narrated by Ya hya bin Mu'in, al -Blackers and others. Chapters for horses to fight in the path of Allah azza wajalla). 1.

Parental Responsibility for Children Every child is born with the nature (feeling and ability) to know God and to do God's teaching. This aspect of religious consciousness is a disposition that contains possibilities or opportunities for growth. However, the direction or quality of children's religious development depends greatly on the educational process they receive. This is where a parent's role is most important in directing their child. This is in accordance with the words of the Prophet: ر ةريره نع ِ ه اللَّ قِلْخَلِ لَيدِبَْت لا اهَيَْلعَ سَاهنلا رَطََف يِتهلا ِ ه اللَّ َةرَطِْف (لوسر لاق لاق هنع الله يض لَا اَقحَلْا ُةَقحَلْا حَصْخَ( مُِِّيَقلْا نُيِّ دِلا كَلَِذ bahwa ُةَقمَلْا بِاجَلْا ) " saying, "Every child is born according to the nature (Islamic potential). Then his parents turn him into Jew, Christian, or Majestic like a breeding animal, do you see any deficiency in it?"(Abu Husain) Then Abu Huraira said, "Fitrah The God of man created there is no change in the nature of God. It is a straightforward religion. ”(HR. Bukhari) The Hadith explains the importance of the role of family or parents in the development of children. The word Yuhawwidaanihi in the above hadith means that both _______________________ 9 parents teach and lead them into Judaism.says Yunassiranihi that both parents teach and lead children into marriage. Great opportunities that influence children should be taken advantage of by parents. They need to create conducive conditions in order for their child to have the best possible growth potential. If parents do not educate their children or do not actively educate their children, as a result the child will not develop as expected (Umar Bukhori, 2012. Parents play an important role in the personal development of children. Therefore, parents are obligated to provide guidance or to be actively involved in their child's life. There are several obligations parents should give to their child, including: 1. Be grateful to God for the gift and trust you give as a child. In the Qur'an it is shown that Lukman is a parent who needs to be educated in raising his children and his family. She reminds her family to be grateful. Allah says in the QS. Lukman verses 12-13 نمو لله ركشا نأ ةمكحلا نامقل انيتآ دقلو(12) ينب اي هظعي وهو هنبلا نامقل لاق ذإو(13) 12. And indeed, been We give Luqman wisdom, namely, "Be grateful to Allah. And whoever is grateful (to Allah), then surely he is grateful for himself, and whoever is not grateful, then surely Allah is rich and most praised. remember when luqman said to his son, while teaching him, "O my son, do not associate with Allah, for he is in the company of (Allah) h is really a great injustice ” 2. Aqiqah After the first day of the baby's hearing the words of monotheism, after the seventh day the child is given a good name at the aqiqahi as evidence of parental love and as a redeemer of a pious form of worship. [9] Because the child is in fact in danger and the only ransom is with aqiqah. It is as stated in the hadith: يحاضلاا باتك يف يذمرتلا هجرخأ(الله ىلص الله لوسر لاق لاق ةرمس نع ) From Samura reported that he said that the messenger of Allah said: "every young children ( unborn) (redeemed) by his vindication, sacrificed on the seventh day of his birth, named, and shaved his hair ”(HR. at-Tirmizi) 3. Breastfeeding for two years The newborn's baby needs the most appropriate food and drink which is ASI. The recommended breastfeeding period in Islam is two years. This is in accordance with the word of God in Qs.Al-Baqarah verse 233: امهنم ضارت نع لااصفنأ دارأ نمل نيلماك نيلوح نهدلاوأ نعضري تادلاولاو مب الله نأ اوملعاو الله اوقتاو فورعملاب مامهيلع حانج لاف رواشتو ا _______________________ 10 "Mothers shall suckle their children for two full years, that is for those who want to complete the term. And it is the duty of the father to give the Mother food and clothes in a rapture A person is not burdened except by his or her willingness. Let not a mother suffer for her son and a father for his son, and the heir to such. If both wish to weep (before two years) by both will and mediation, then there is no sin in both. And if you want your child to be breastfed by others, then it is not your fault if you pay accordingly. Fear Allah and know that Allah is well-aware of what you do. " 4. The circumcision Circumcision is to clean the genitals, by removing the skin that covers the genitals. It is as the Prophet Muhammad سمخ ةرطفلا ةرطفلا نم سمخ وأ راشلا صقو رافظلأا ميلقتو طبلإا فتنو دادحتسلااو ناتخلا ب "Article fithrah the five-or five of the following as of things that fithrahcircumcision, istihdad (remove hair that grows on around the genitals), removing the armpits, cutting nails, and cutting the mustache. (HR. Bukhari no. 5889, 5891, 6297 and Muslim no. 597) 5. Marrying After the child is old enough, is mature and ready to be born and inwardly and capable of family, then parents are encouraged to marry their child.[11] This is in accordance with Hadith's history of Abdullah bin Mas'ud radhiyallahu 'anhu, which is why he says : َةءَاَبلَْا مُكُنْمِ عَاطََتسْا نِمَ !بِاَبه شلَا رََشعْمَ اَي ملسو هيلع الله ىلص ِ ه اَللَّ لُوسُرَ اَنَل لَاَق ضغََأ ُههنإَِف جْ ه وزََتَيلَْف نُصَحَْأوَ ,رِصََبلْلِ ءاجَوِ ُهَل ُههنإَِف َْ َْ َْ َْ َْ َْ َْ َْ َْ َْ َْ َْ َْ َْ َ َ َ َ َ َ َ َ َ َ َ رََفلْلِ The Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Sallam said to us: "O generation, whoever among you has the ability (both physical and material), he should marry, for he can subdue his views and preserve his genitals. And those who have not been able should fast, because it can muffle (lust)."(Bukhori Muslim) Messenger a'alaihi wa sallam in the hadith above ordered the youth to marry by saying"falyatazawaj "(immediately she married), the sentence contains command. In the rules of ushul fiqh it is stated: "al ashlu fi al amr lil wujub " (The order basically contains the meaning of the obligation). Compulsory education from parents to children There are several Qur'anic verses and Hadiths that instruct parents to instruct or teach their children to perform prayers. [13] It is found in Qs. Al-Luqman verse 17, which reads: ركنملا نع هناو فورعملاب رمأو ةلاصلا مقأ ينباي(17) _______________________ 11 17. My son, establish prayer, enjoin (people) do the good and forbid (them) of the act be patient and be patient with what happens to you. Verily, that is what is required of Allah. In the Qur'an Surat al-Luqman verse 17 makes it clear that Lukman (the devout whose name and teachings are immortalized in the Qur'an) asks his son to offer prayers. Later in the hadith it is explained that the child who is able to distinguish between right and left hand is trained or taught for prayer. اتك يف دوادوبا هجرخأ(هدج نع هيبأ نع بيعش نب ورمع نع ب ةلاصلا ) "From'Amar bin Shuaib, from his father from his grandfather, he said: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). It says: "Command your children to perform their prayers at the age of seven, and beat them for leaving their prayers at the age of ten, and separate their beds (men and women)!". (HR. David's Prayer in Prayer). " At the age of seven children are asked to pray so that they can get used to and pray. After the age of ten parents can hit when children leave for prayer because they are puberty or approach puberty. It is also permissible to hit a ten-year-old because it is the age limit for a child to be able or willing to take a beating. The punch in question is a non-painful blow to the face. The conditions allow him to hit young children: 1. It should not be focused on one limb 2. There should be a time delay between the two strokes, which can alleviate the pain caused by 3. The batter should not raise his hand so the shot will not hurt too much 4. Educators should not hit him when he is angry 5. Did not hit when the child mentioned the name of Allah 6. Don't hit before the child reaches the age of ten. The condition of hitting is to educate, not to anger, to revenge, or to hate and it should be part of an education (Nabil Kazim, 2011). CONCLUSION The child is a God-given gift to parents entrusted with caring for, lovingly, lovingly. Thus we should be grateful for this great gift of God by taking good care of it. In addition, the form of affection can be done by blessing his child. Because the child is in fact mortgaged and the only ransom is in the form of worship which is aqiqah. In addition, children should be given the lessons required to be is known to suit his age.
