What's wrong with the kids nowadays...
We may have given our children an Islamic upbringing and a good life, but we don't control the guidance of our children or even our own selves. There is no set formula that you will receive guidance from Allah. Guidance is a gift of Allah to those He chooses. Regardless, we have to show some effort and do our best knowing full well that we are not in control.
Remember. Prophet Nuh a.s couldn't guide his son to follow him and he drowned. Prophet Yusuf a.s. grew up without his father, Prophet Ya'qub a.s, and yet he was righteous. Allah guided Yusuf and not Nuh's son and yet they both were the sons of prophets. If we want to be in control, then we haven't internalized that we are slaves of Allah and Allah is the Master. You have to work hard to earn Allah's favor. Guidance is Allah's favor. Without Allah's guidance, we are lost.
May Allah guide us and our children on the straight path. Aameen.
