Question

It has been reported in a Hadith of the Prophet ﷺ that he said, "Seven (people) will be shaded by Allah in His Shade on the Day of Resurrection when there will be no shade except His Shade." And amongst them he mentioned, "A young man who has been brought up upon the worship of Allah." The question is, how can a young man grow up upon the obedience of Allah in these times?

Sheikh Saleh Al-Fawzan

If he is raised upon it, he will grow up upon it. And if he is in a house that is raised upon worship and its people are people of worship, then the child will grow up (i.e., upon it). [Poem]: "And the boys among us grow up, on that which their father accustomed them to." There is no doubt that the child grows up upon the good or evil in the house.
