Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah
The importance of the home and family for the Muslim child
The child grows within the Muslim home and family gradually
And during this time receives a sufficient store of love, cooperation, mutual protection, and building.
He experiences the tenderness and affection of the mother and the guardianship and care of the father
And observes the love and mercy between them.
Thus, he grows up balanced, upright, and sound in nature and emotions.
As for the child who is deprived of this natural nurturing environment,
his upbringing will be abnormal and unnatural in many aspects of his life,
no matter how many comforts and educational resources are available to him outside the family circle.
The first thing he loses is the feeling of love and tenderness,
because the child, by his nature, loves to have his mother all to himself for the first two years of his life,
during which he fundamentally depends on her,
and cannot bear for anyone to share her with him.
Children in orphanages and orphanages
share a caregiver and a nurse who looks after them.
Rather, the nurses are numerous for them,
and they take turns according to the work schedule allocated to each of them.
This results in distress and a flaw in the child's nature,
and perhaps the children harbor hatred for one another.
Similarly, his lack of a single authority overseeing him
leads to a fragmented personality and instability.
The experiences of public nurseries
reveal daily the authentic wisdom in making the family
the first brick in building a sound society,
which Islam aims to establish on a sound basis
consistent with human nature.
