*mostly if kids dont practice Islam (or whatever religion), its due to parents not practicing it themselves. When kids don't see parents praying 5 times a day, why would they? *
Exactly! I agree with you there!
People know the consquences, But you cant jus nag your kids 24/7 You hav to realise at a certain age they have them own mind and take control of their own life. Our prophet also said when they hit the age of puberty leave them. Allah will deal with it in the next life. In the next life we wont know our family when were gettin judged. In our grave were alone. And were gonna be alone. So we can ADVICE our kids, but not force it, Because thats when they start to rebel.
^ chill Huma - it's a hypothetical question. I know it's a tough topic but it can be discussed in a sane manner.
I know what it says in the Quran. I don't think slap slap slap is the right answer. It can actually make the children rebel even more.
Children raised in very strict households (not just muslim but catholics and jewish, amish households) - tend to rebel more and that is FACT.
Lets say it's not even about not believing but questioning something as 4 marriages, or the way that inheritance is distributed. It is their right to question and you can't slap their mouth shut everytime they have a question.
People convert to Islam as well. Think about it. They must have questioned their beliefs. They must have had questions for their parents etc.
Exactly, Theres so much force and aggression when it comes to Teaching islam to children, My brother and cousin got sent to a mosque when they was younger and if they said sumthing wrong they wud get BEATS. I mean wth?! Then we all got sent to a amazing lady to taught us things in a nice way. A fun way. And we loved her. And we LOVED going mosque. Then when we was abit older we got sent to a different mosque where a Imaam taught us, And he was also really nice, Not a typical imaam, He was full of love. Never raised his voice or hand to ANYONE. Thats how it shud be. And thats how you come to love your religion.
