"And let those (executors and guardians) have the same fear in their minds as they would have for their own, if they had left weak offspring behind. So let them fear Allâh and speak right words." (Quran 4:9).
Matter of fact the underlined word in Arabic is dhuriyatan which is children. Sobhan Allah the ayah is direct and clear about what to do if you need to protect your children after your death. Fear Allah (adopt a pious attitude or at least try I know we are all behind and need to progress towards piety). While the other part says in Arabic yaqoulo qawalan sadeedan. Is to say things in their perfect positions. Such as command an ill person to give out sadaqah, give a sound advice on a certain topic within the Divine rules and so forth.
