"Successful Father's Successful Sons"


Hazrat Umar ibn Abdul Aziz had eleven sons, making him a very successful father. He made sure his children's needs were addressed despite their modest lifestyle, when even the most basic supplies were in short supply. He once contacted their daughter, but his wife showed there instead and introduced herself as their daughter's advocate. When asked why their daughter wasn't there, the wife replied that because of how poor the daughter was, her clothing were damaged and she stayed home to mend them. Because of his austere lifestyle and reputation for modesty, Umar ibn Abdul Aziz's daughter had no other garments to wear.

Although Umar ibn Abdul Aziz lived in poverty, he taught his kids to love, serve, and be decent people. He instilled in them a strong sense of duty and the need to help others. His children adopted these traits as a result of their upbringing. Even in his latter days, when he was sick and on the verge of death, a buddy stopped by to see him. This demonstrates his great influence on his offspring and the people around him.The friend of Hazrat Umar ibn Abdul Aziz told him as he was lying down, "Umar ibn Abdul Aziz, you did not treat your children well. "Why do you say that?" questioned Umar ibn Abdul Aziz. "You are not leaving anything behind for your children," his pal retorted. You haven't treated your kids well. When he heard this, Umar ibn Abdul Aziz got up and said, "Look, if my kids are good, I'm giving Allah the responsibility of raising them. Because Allah claims to be the defender of the just. I'm leaving them in Allah's hands. If my children are moral, I am powerless to intervene in their disobedience.

After responding, Umar ibn Abdul Aziz passed away. Witness Allah's glory: following Umar ibn Abdul Aziz, the new king needed governors to oversee the various provinces. "I need a person like Umar ibn Abdul Aziz, who is honest, religious, and just," he declared when asking for counsel from the populace. He was informed, "You need someone like Umar ibn Abdul Aziz. His oldest son was brought to him as a result, and he resembled his father perfectly. He was appointed governor by the king. The king subsequently questioned him, "Do you have any other brothers? The governor answered, "I have a younger brother who is just like me. So the monarch also appointed the second son as governor.The king said after these two governors' outstanding accomplishments, "Do you have any other siblings? They answered, "Yes, a younger brother. The third son was also designated a governor by the king.

Books claim that at one point, Umar ibn Abdul Aziz's eleven sons simultaneously held the governorships of eleven distinct provinces. This is the tale of a prosperous father who taught his eleven sons such righteousness that they were all simultaneously selected as governors of eleven regions.Fathers should bring up their kids in a way that ensures both their achievement in this life and their preparation for the afterlife. They should offer prayers for their kids and work to raise them to be good people who uphold both Allah's and other people's rights. Success in this world and the hereafter will result from using this strategy.
