When my child cried in the middle of the night and wanted milk, I got up, did Wuďū, and then gave my child milk.” 5Ģ. It was said to the mother of Shaykh Anŝārī, one of the honourable Shī°a scholars: “Māshā-Allāh (SwT), what a good child have you given to society!” The mother replied: “I had higher expectations of my son because I gave him milk for two years and I was never without Wuďū. In order to highlight the above, as well as some recommended methods of breastfeeding and their consequences, three examples of the lives of our scholars have been mentioned below:ġ. Then, if he repents, Allāh (SwT) accepts his repentance and if he leaves this world without repentance, he is deserving of the fire (of hell).” 4 Three Examples Every person that eats a bite of ĥarām food is gathering causes of Allāh (SwT)’s wrath. Pertaining to the effects of eating ĥarām food, the Prophet (S) has narrated: “Every time a bite of ĥarām food enters the stomach of a person, all the angels of the heavens and the earth send curses on him, and until the time that the ĥarām bite is in his stomach, Allāh (SwT) does not look in his direction. It has even been cited as the cause of the lack of heed paid to Imām Husain (as) by the enemy and thus, the tragedy of Kerbalā.

Allāh (SwT) has mentioned the necessity of eating ĥalāl and good food several times in the Noble Qur`an 3 and traditions have clearly highlighted that lack of adherence to this is one of the main causes of bad Akhlāq, aggression and oppression. In another tradition, it is narrated from the Prophet (S): “Allāh (SwT) has placed the sustenance (rizq) of the child in the two breasts of the mother, in one is his water, and in the other his food.” 2Īs we are now on the subject of directly feeding the newborn child from the mother, it is once again necessary to mention and highlight the importance of ĥalāl income, the paying of Khums and Zakāt, the use of pure and ĥalāl food by the mother and its effect on the child. It is narrated from Imām as-Ŝādiq (as): “Oh Mother of Isĥāq, don’t feed the child from just one breast, but feed from both, as one is the substitute for food, and the other is a substitute for water.” 1 I know you have your life to live and I can see love in your eyesĬause I will always be right here for you.Allāh (SwT) has placed food and water for the child in the body of the mother, and has created an amazing system of feeding the newborn child in a manner which is perfect and most beneficial. Ou je dois te conduire, bras dessous, bras dessousĪ celui qui pendra ta main Devant Dieu et devant les hommesĪ qui tu diras oui pour le meilleur et pour le pire As the years passed, I lost track of the song but never that feeling which it invoked within me. It made me cry, not because I was sad but rather because it brought me so much joy and I wanted my father to sing this song to me on my special day. As a child whenever the song came on, it invoked an array of emotions. There was something so sincere in the words that captivated my innocent little heart. The song basically tells a loving father’s wishes for his daughter on her wedding day. I remember one of my favorite songs was Nel Oliver’s baby girl. One of my favorite memories as a child was in my grandma’s house singing along to music as it played on her old black and white television.
