Jum'ah Journal-What have we done for the next generation

Ibraheem AS has left  lessons for us to what we should leave for the progeny. Was always thinking of his offsprings and their welfare, like praying to Allah SWT when he left his wife Bibi Sara and his young son Ismaeel in the desert so they could get food and water and fruits etc.

رَّبَّنَا إِنِّي أَسْكَنتُ مِن ذُرِّيَّتِي بِوَادٍ غَيْرِ ذِي زَرْعٍ عِندَ بَيْتِكَ الْمُحَرَّمِ رَبَّنَا لِيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ فَاجْعَلْ أَفْئِدَةً مِّنَ النَّاسِ تَهْوِي إِلَيْهِمْ وَارْزُقْهُم مِّنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْكُرُونَ   (Yusuf Ali)

"O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in a valley without cultivation, by Thy Sacred House; in order, O our Lord, that they may establish regular Prayer: so fill the hearts of some among men with love towards them, and feed them with fruits: so that they may give thanks."

  The most important legacy we leave for them is Iman and then comes after that the grain and the fruit and water.  What we brought from our home countries was minimal and God gave us good life here. Sure we can leave, beautiful houses, plenty of money and all the matterial stuff this great country has to offer but in the end what is really matterial and vital,  according to Maulana Yusuf Islahi (the author of the famous "everyday fiqh"), is making sure they have Iman.
