Parents' advice to children in Arabic prose until the end of the fourth century

Parental advice to children is a huge cultural treasure; both in terms of the nobility of its content and the quality of its formulation. It is not bound by history or land or a specific self, but rather it is the fruit of personal experiences, where parents go beyond emotional sentimentality to make it a life constitution and a correct approach for the children. And the one who gives advice—often—hopes that his advice will be immortalized, to extend beyond his children to others, and that would be more deserving of giving it the attention it needs in style and intellectual giving so that it moves from the private to the public, from the present to the future. And if the poetic and prose forms have carried each of them that kind of advice, then the poetry related to that purpose hardly compares in scope to prose, nor does it match in artistic stature. Hence, this book deals with advice in the field of prose. Since sources rarely retain material worth mentioning after the fourth century, this book is dedicated to collecting the advice of fathers to their children until the end of the fourth century.
