Prophet Musa (AS) once asked:
“O Lord! Which deed is best in your eyes?”
Allah replied:
“Love of children, for I have created them with the natural belief in My unity and if I grant them death, I will put them mercifully in heaven.”
Imam Ja’fer As-Sadiq (AS) said:
“Allah may have mercy on a person simply because the person loves his/her child very much.”
