Re: Calling muslim parents
Teaching children to pray namaaz five times a day is very important. This way they'll learn to do wuzu, keep themself 'paak' (clean), pray to Allah directly if some difficulty arise, learn surats from Quran, praying together brings the family close and many more benefits are there.
I try my best that my daughters and I pray namaaz together. I think it is one of the best way of bringing them closer to Islam. Once they have a habit of praying namaaz then no matter where they go, they'll always pray and InshaAllah it'll keep them on track.
