Pearl of Wisdom

with regards to the creation of the human in the womb said, 'When four months are completed, Allah sends two creative angels...., and they ask, ?O Lord, shall it be wretched or prosperous?' Again, they are commanded, and they then ask, ?O Lord, what is its due date of death, its sustenance, and all other matters relating to its state [and he listed some of them]-?' And they then go about writing a covenant between his eyes.'

Subject: feeding a baby
Question: My baby is 5 months old. What are the advices according to islam for feeding n taking care of him? when and how should i start his formal education? Thanks
Answer: Islam has divided the upbringing of a child into three stages from birth to age 21.

The division is based on the following hadith of the Prophet (s.a.w.): "The child is the master for seven years; and a slave for seven years and a vizier for seven years; so if he grows into a good character within 21 years, well and good; otherwise leave him alone because you have discharged your responsibility before Allah."

The same hadith has been explained by Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq (a.s.): "Let your child play upto seven years; and keep him with you (for education and training) for another seven years; then if he succeeds (well and good); otherwise, there is no good in him."
