So, it is important for parents to know and care. The article aims to present the dear parents and other readers what rights their children have their parents and what duties the parents have to their children.
Social commandments begin with the birth of a child hence we begin with the Prophets (PBUH&HP) sayings regarding birth and duties of parents to the newborn child. Saying of Adhan (in the ears of a new-born child) The Prophet (PBUH&HP) Companion, Abu-Rafey narrates that: I saw the Prophet (PBUH&HP) saying adhan and Salawat in the ear of his grandson, Imam Hassan (PBUH) when the child was born to his daughter, Hazrat Fatima (PBUH).
Commentary: in the above Hadith (tradition) only the saying of Adhan has been mentioned, but in another tradition reported by Imam Hussain (PBUH), the Prophet (PBUH&HP) prescribed the saying of adhan in the right ear and Iqamah in the left ear of the new-born child, and also mentioned its auspiciousness. He said that on account of it, the child remained safe from infantile epilepsy.
As these traditions show, the primary claim of a child on his parents is that his ears, and through his ears, his head and heart are made aquatinted with the name of the Almighty Almighty Allah and His Oneness and with the Call of Faith and Prayer. The best way to it, evidently is that adhan and Iqamah are said in his ears, as these impart the knowledge of spirit and the fundamental practices of Islam in the most effective manner.
Naming a Child That the child be given a good name is also an obligation of the parents. Abdullah ibn Abbas relates that the Prophet (PBUH&HP) said: It is also a claim of the child on his father that he gives him a good name and teaches him good manners.
