Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Islamic Family Structure 24 The Role of the Father in Child Rearing O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste! " [Holy Quran: Maryam: 19:28] Consider the Following Four Facts It is understood from verses 33-37 of the Chapter Al-i-Imran and verse 28 of Chapter Maryam that man's development and perfection depend upon the following four factors.

1- A believing father 2- A believing mother 3- A good and sympathetic teacher 4- Lawfully obtained food When the Jews saw Jesus in the hands of Mary who was a girl without a husband, they told her out of their surprise: O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste! [Holy Quran: Maryam: 19:28] They were not aware of the truth that Jesus was God's word induced into the womb of the noble, chaste Mary. They thought she had done wrong.

Knowing that her father was a noble, believing man who followed divine etiquette and her mother was a chaste, believing woman, they could not believe that such a child of such parents would commit such an act. The people knew that a child was a reflection of the spiritual, behavioral and physical realities of his or her parents.

It was only when baby Jesus spoke in the cradle that it became clear that such a child as Mary , with such a high position as to become the mother of a Prophet, will result from such parents. You note that the people expected her chastity primarily due to her father's pure character. For this reason they told her: Your father was not bad. O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!

" [Holy Quran: Maryam: 19:28] They also considered her mother's character, That is why they told her: We know your mother she is chaste. O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste! [Holy Quran: Maryam: 19:28] In the previous chapter, the role of the mother in child-rearing and a mother's duties were discussed, and there is no need to discuss it here any more. The importance of eating legally obtained food was already discussed, too.

Also, no one is unaware of the importance of the role of teachers and their character and behavior of their students. In this chapter, the role of the father, and his character concerning the up-bringing, morality and actions of the child is discussed.
