The nerves of such properly attended babies are at ease.

The nerves of such properly attended babies are at ease. They get used to good and regular habits. At this stage when the babies do not recognize anyone, will have their attention only on two things—their own frailty, helplessness and have their attention riveted on the Superior Power, which is Provider of all needs. They cry to get succour from that Hidden, Invisible Power that is the Creator of all things.

The babies, on account of their frailty and infirmity, attach themselves to a Power that is Munificent. If this feeling in the children is perpetuated, it will become the foundation of Belief, Faith and Spiritual contentment in their future. The Prophet of Islam has said: “Never beat the children if they cry. Fulfill their needs.

Because, for the first four months of the life of a child, its cries are a witness to the Existence and Unity of Allah, Almighty**.**"[^2] For the first four months the newborn babies wouldn’t have acquired the social entity. They would not recognize anyone, even their own mothers. This is the only period when the babies have their attention focused on one unseen Power. But those babies who are victims of the negligence of their mothers helplessly cry to attract attention for help.

The nerves of such children will be disturbed and mostly they are restless. In stages the peevishness of these children become their second nature. There will be lack of self-confidence in these children and they will be unruly and quarrelsome. [^1]: Ghurar al-hukm, p. 47 [^2]: Bihar al-anwar, v 104, p. 103 Previous…
