Assalamu Alaikum,
Ahmad was a teenage boy at 16 years of age. He had two older brothers and one younger sister. His parents were ones of excellent religious character who tried their best to raise their children to the standards of Islam. It was religion first then education second. They hated when other Muslim friends or family asked their children about their education without first being asked about their religious duty to Allah being performed.
Sadly Ahmad attached himself to the so-called glitter of life. He would not pray while running off to the cinema with his friends while spending time hours and hours a day talking about girls. When his parents realised of what Ahmad was doing they sat him down one evening for a very important Islamic talk.
"Ahmad, my dear son. You know I love you from the bottom of my heart. I am your father who wants best for you all as you are all my children, my flesh and blood." His father said to him in a saddened tone.
"I know." Ahmad answered without emotion.
"Ahmad. By Allah, if you don't like school you can come and work with me as long as you turn back to Allah." His father said.
"Dad! It's ok! I am 16! I have a long life ahead of me! I promise I will be good in the future!"
