Want to Know What a Good Father is Like in Islam? Emulate Prophet Ibrahim As

Dream - A father has a very big responsibility. Besides the mother, the father also has an important role in taking care of and guiding his children. For example, giving love, educating, and providing a good example. The hope is that the child can grow with good morals and be able to interact in the social world. To be a good father, Dream's friend can emulate Prophet Ibrahim (as). He not only preached the teachings of Allah SWT, but also became a good example of a father for his children, namely Prophet Ismail (as) and Prophet Ishaq (as).

Then, what are the examples that we can take from Prophet Ibrahim as to become a good father in Islam? Here is as summarized by Dream through nu.or.id.

Want to Know What a Good Father is Like in Islam? Emulate Prophet Ibrahim AS

1. Teach Children about the Exemplary Faith and Obedience

In guiding his children, Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) taught them about exemplary behavior and obedience to Allah SWT. He always instilled faith in his children from a young age. As a result, faith will become stronger within them as they grow older. This teaching is not only through words, but also through actions.

"With that, the child can imitate such good deeds. This shows that the involvement of the father contributes to building a strong foundation of faith within a family. Obedience and devotion can be seen through Allah's words in Surah As-Saffat verse 102, which narrates the story of Prophet Ibrahim receiving the command from Allah to sacrifice Prophet Ismail."

"When the child reached (the age), he was able to work with him, he (Ibrahim) said, 'O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I (must) sacrifice you. Consider what is your opinion?' He (Ismail) replied, 'O my father, do as you are commanded (by Allah)! InshaAllah you will find me among the patient ones.'"

2. Patience and Perseverance

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "A good father in Islam, as exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim (as), is characterized by patience and steadfastness. This is related to Allah's command to Prophet Ibrahim (as) to sacrifice Prophet Ismail (as). Of course, as a father, this was an extremely difficult decision to sacrifice his own child. However, it was a direct command from Allah. He carried out this command because he possessed immense patience and steadfastness."

3. Openness in Communication

The next characteristic of being a good father is open communication. In a family, building good communication is very important. Just like what was done by Prophet Ibrahim and his son. This can be seen when he received a command from Allah SWT to sacrifice his son, Prophet Ismail. He did not hide the command from his child. Instead, he openly told Prophet Ismail.

Communication between father and child is not as simple as that. Because its impact is very significant and extensive in various aspects. In this moment of communication, the child has the opportunity to express their feelings and thoughts. So, there is nothing hidden that creates prejudice against each other. This is what makes family relationships healthy and harmonious.

4. Honoring Humanity

The next characteristic of a good father is to honor human beings. This is what Prophet Ibrahim (as) taught, to always honor human beings without considering the various differences that exist. As shown when building the foundation of the Kaaba in Mecca. According to Islamic tradition, the holy place was built by Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet Ismail under the guidance of Allah SWT as a universal place of worship.

This is a phenomenon that anyone, regardless of their background, is allowed to come and worship. Well, such an example is still very relevant to today's life, which indeed has many differences. Whether it's religion, ethnicity, race, ideology, and so on. Therefore, the hope is that everyone can apply a tolerant attitude in community life.
