Abd al-Muttalib’s name is Shaybah al-Hamd because he was born and had a gray hair, with the hope that people would praise him for him, but it was said to him Abd al-Muttalib because his uncle al-Muttalib buttocks him behind him and he was in a shabby shape due to his poverty, so he was asked: Who is this?

Grandparents have an important role in a child's life

National Grandparents Day is September 9th

Since August 3, 1978, the day has been dedicated to "honoring grandparents... and helping children realize the power, information, and guidance that seniors can provide." Grandparents can offer all of these things and usually when we think of Grandparents Day, we think of those who celebrate grandparents. I want to think of it this month from my two point of view as a reciprocal relationship, elationships take time and effort, and we need to be intentional. This is true for all relationships, be it friendships or family. In today's fast-paced world, it is difficult for grandparents to find ways to show their special kind of love. It is worth taking the time to think creatively and find ways to enrich the lives of grandchildren. Before we go any further, let's take a look at some stats about grandparents today:

 Parents typically become grandparents between the ages of 49 and 53, and many can spend up to 40 years in this role, because people live longer, grandparents have the opportunity to get to know their grandchildren from infancy to middle age, nearly half of all grandparents in North America live at least 200 miles away from their grandchildren. There are approximately 8 million children under the age of 18 who live with their grandparents or relatives (2.5 million grandparents). Because of life expectancy, families today have the potential to have long-term relationships with multiple generations. The majority of Americans 35 and older are part of a three-generation family and some are part of a four-generation family. Intergenerational relationships within a family context are usually between adult children and their parents (grandparents) and their children (grandchildren). The relationship that grandparents have with their adult children directly affects the relationship with their grandchildren. Most often, parents support their children in developing ongoing and communicative relationships with their grandparents. However, if the adult parent/child relationship conflicts, the grandparent/grandchild relationship may be in jeopardy.

Research identifies the different roles an older person plays in a young person's life

Some of these roles include

family historian

nutrition guide

an example

There are many factors that can influence a grandparent's involvement in a child's life. Some of the factors that can lead to distant or less involved grandparents include:

family diversity

different beliefs

health

distance distance

Positive relationships are mutually beneficial to young and old. Grandchildren who report close relationships with their grandparents are more likely to participate in activities with them and see the benefits of spending time with their grandparents, and are more likely to be influenced by their own values ​​and beliefs. In turn, grandparents may serve as a source of social support and family history. Seniors can enrich young people's lives by providing continuity between past, present and future as they share memories.

From this previous study, we conclude:

That the Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - descended from all good ancestral history (generosity - wisdom as if Luqman of his time - social prestige - hatred of ignorance of Arabs such as infanticide and others) This is other than that his grandfather who embraced him when he was young used to sit him on the same mattress that he was sitting on Which his uncles do not sit on, which affects his personality, and knowledge of good morals does not affect the social standing from an early age
