Abstract
It is absolutely clear that love of children exists by nature in the heart of their parents. To bear pains in the care of their children, to express mercy and kindness upon them and manage all their necessities and issues is firmly embedded in the hearts and minds of the parents. Assuming that if it were not so, human race would have become extinct on the planet. The holy Qurʾān rightly terms children as the adornment and beauty of the world. Allāh says in the holy Qurʾān: "Wealth and offspring are a source of brilliance of the world". (Al-Qurʾān)
The most valuable sentiments ordained by Allāh in the hearts of the parents include mercifulness, kindness, love and affection which bear great influence in the growth, training and flourishing of children, and produce tremendous outcomes. That is why the Islamic laws strengthen the sentiment of affection and love in the hearts of people. These laws inspire all the elders whether they are teachers, elite, parents or heads of any field to adopt these attributes. The Messenger (S.A.W) of Allāh says: "He who is not merciful upon the young and does not recognize the rights of the elders, is not from amongst us." The Messenger (S.A.W) of further says: "He who bears no mercy on other, he is not also treated with mercy." (Al-Hadīth). Therefore, the trainers must take the above sayings of the Messenger (S.A.W) as guidance, and exercise equity and fairness between boys and girls so as to deserve the paradise that is larger than the heavens and the earth, and also to obtain the greatest wealth in the form of the will and liking of Allāh.
