Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan gives an elaborate and explicit lecture on the need of the hour - Teaching Islam to our children.
Before worrying about our kids, we have to worry about what we are like as parents. Our children have Islam built into themselves as their religion. It’s a very fundamental aspect of our Deen. The success the Muslims have had in raising their children relatively has been great but is not that praiseworthy as yet.
First of all our mentality has to change. If the children don't see in us the right definition of success, our personality, our conversations, then we cannot expect them to have the right definition of success for their life.
When the Prophets AS were teaching Deen, they were teaching everybody Deen. But when Allah SWT talks about children learning Islam and the Qur’an, talks about children learning, children receiving advice, it’s from the parents. Whenever Allah talks about children getting guidance in the Qur’an, it’s always from parents.
May Allah SWT make us the people of the Qur’an, and instill within us the ability to instill that to our children, have an honest, direct, open conversation with your children, and seek answers from Allah’s book.
