Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased
with her) accepted Al-Islam and she
mentioned that:

Abu Anas came after being away
and he said: “You have become one
who has no religion.” She responded
by saying: “I did not, rather I believe
in this man.” She began to teach
Anas; she would say to him: say:
“Laa Ilaaha Illallaah”, say “I bear
witness that Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah.” Anas ibn
Maalik (may Allah be pleased with
him) said it. His father said to her:
“Do not corrupt my son.” She would
respond by saying: "Indeed I am not
corrupting him."

Benefits from this:

1. The companions of the Prophet
(sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) used
to command their children with the
Tawheed of Allah and the following
of the Sunnah of the Prophet
(sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam).

2. When a parent accepts Islam, the
parent should encourage the child/
children to say the two testimonies
of faith.

3. Refuting those who speak ill of
Islam.

4. Teaching Islam does not corrupt
the people, rather it brings about the
rectification of the people.

5. The enemies of Islam of the past
sought to extinguish the light of
Allah with their mouths by speaking
ill of Islam and distorting the image
of Islam.

6. The enemies of Islam today use
the same tactics, which they have
learned from their evil predecessors,
against the call of Islam.

7. The command to save oneself and
family from the hell-fire was being
implemented by Umm Sulaym.

8. Umm Sulaym is one of the good
examples from the Sahaabiyyaat of
a mother.
