Yes, it grates on my nerves when I see Urdu highlighted as a definition of what good tarbiyat is but nothing else…why hasn’t anyone opened up a thread about kids learning how to read namaz? Or how to respect elders or saying salaam because its a blessing you’re giving to the one you meet? Or teaching kids WHY we read namaz? Where are these ekhlaaq? Why aren’t they a priority over Urdu?

Teaching my kids Urdu, throwing a salan together and halwa for dessert is easy peasy compared to the other stuff that needs a lot more attention. If my son can say salaam and respond to “aap kaise hein” with an Alhumdulillah versus “bass theeeeek thaaaaak…aap sunayein kya haal chaal hein”…I’ll be one PROUD mother.

Because that is the topic of this thread. Only because someone opened this thread, doesn’t mean all the other things are ignored. Nobody stated that knowing urdu is more important than reading namaz.

As for your last comment: Because you can teach them how to throw a salan or a burger or a chai ming koi AND teach them urdu AND how to respect others at the same time?
