Children choosing their religion

@TLK … LOL … i can’t wait to see the fiery replies that could/might come up later .. you jumped right into their affectionate conversation

as for the topic .. I would really want my children to be spiritually quite strong and follow Islam in its true spirit. The best I could do is to practise it completely myself first. Keep chiding them for all the wrong they do. Tell them about wrong and right. In short make a total islamic Mahol at home so that the kids get used to it.

And then when they grow old, let them come to terms with it on their own. Too much daant and maar is not good. but constant advising counselling and even dant in case of prayers should be there to make it a habit.

My mother MashAllah being VERY religious and well versed in Islamic History and Teachings was a little easy going on Namaz. I did started regularly at a later age. But it was hard getting used to. A little more reprimand from her side would have helped more. But am still SO grateful to her for guiding me and showing me the true spirit of Islam. Which neglectful parents of today don’t even bother to do so

That’s exactly what I had wanted to say in the first place so thanks for saying it in a better way… that hopefully no one will have any issues against

BTW… “affectionate conversation”…

and TLK, are you serious???
