How to get rid of this bad habit?

Salam everyone,

No one..???

:salam: Sister,

Try sit down and talk to her when she is in an approachable state. Speak to her about it and find out why she steals, is it a certain thing she steals like toys for example?

I know that she in only 7 years old, but has she got some basic Islamic knowledge? If she does you could tell her that Allah is everywhere and sees everything. That piece of advice sometimes works for children ;)

Ghulam Sarwar in his book "Islam for Younger People" has a short story about Allah seeing everything. I will scan the story and perhaps you could read it to her? I will do it later for you Insha'Allah.

Asalamualaikum,
If a child as young as 7 is stealing then it's either because he is copying someone perhaps an older sibling /friend/ or parent .i.e he has a negative influence in his life /maybe his parents behave hypocritically or else he is seeking attention / letting out anger because he maybe neglected or even abused .
This girl in particular requires lots love and reassurance from her parents , that they love her she needs to feel secure

You need to find out what s going on.

We as parents are often so busy in our lives we sometimes forget to love our children so that they may feel emotionally insecure and unloved .
Parents need to spend time with heir children talking to them and always explaining the complex world around them always putting things in perspective to a child .

It may help to teach the child as the brother said before me .
I always find that if you teach the seerah of the Prophet Muhammed:saw:
build that love in them .Then tell the children do you want Nabi kareem:saw:
to find out you did this , he:saw: will feel so sad that his:saw: 's ummatti committed this sin . How will you face him:saw: when we goto Medina ?
Repent now .
The story of Harat Abdul Qadir Jilani is also good about when he spoke the truth to the robbers etc .This builds strong morals in children aswell as enforcing their islamic identity.
I hope this helps , this is from my experience of bringing up my children.

Asalamualaikum, yes a daily regular taleem program would be very beneficial .

You could also discuss your nieces feelings of neglect and so help her to come to terms with them. Keep these points in mind.


Teach her to not blame her mother but instead to understand that her mother loves her even though she may not always show her feelings .

Teach her to make dua for her mother so that she may overcome her weakness

Teach her the rights of the parents and especially the mother and make her realise how lucky she is to have a mother and father and how difficult it is for orphans .

Talk to her mother to make her realise what the impact is of her actions on her children but often people don't want to listen, importantly tell her to be extra loving to this daughter.
I hope Allah swt rewards you for being so caring towards your niece , I hope Allah swt gives your niece guidance so that she always stays on haq !
wasalam

We need to start a good habit for our child even in not birth in world yet.

When our baby in his mom we need to start to pray and taught of Al-Quran to make our baby learn and heard about it.
