Answer 1

to raise your kids upon values , to pass it on to their kids .. to deliver a message thats yet pending until the end of days .. a message that seems to have long been forgotten .. Values of Honesty and Truth and replantation of the world ,  at a time where they will be faced by a total loss of definitions .. thats where you come and make sure to have these definitions embedded and planted so as never shaken after you part , and we r all parting ...

Answer 2

for me a good a parent is the one who is able to teach his kid

<be close to Allah

<use his mind to differentiate between good and bad

<be responsible for his own choices in life

<don't brainwash him to become something he wants

<try to hide his negative traits from his kids, like if he is nervous try to be calm at least during the first 7 years

<and the most important part is to practice what he preaches as we don't need more hypocrites, we have enough.

Answer 8

I think that a good parent is some one who actually listens to their child and gives it attention and cares for it.

It's not enough to just give it money and let it face the world alone. Also, a good parent should always give his child the top priority in his life.

A lot of things cannot be counted in only one answer.

Answer 11

-the idea of being good is beyond borders. First, if the parent has good understanding of humanity and knows how to handle it- he would be a good parent. Being a GOOD parent starts with being good to others and to life. For the parent would understand the imperfections of a human and his child and thus guide the child the proper way to handle life.
