Re: what else???
I feel at her age she is more likely to learn from what she sees.She recites the first kalma after me.It is not very accurate but it is a bedtime ritual.She knows it is a form of prayer,then she ‘phoonks’ us just like I do after I pray.
She knows namaz time and that it is to be offered on a pray mat.She has her own kiddie sized one and when she is told ‘chalo namaz parhian’.she brings it and stands on it for a bit and then does sajda,although she tries to peek at me while in sajda to see if I am looking at her.I sometimes make her repeat the names of the namaz after me.Obviously she does not know when is which namaz but she repeats the names after me.
Then there is the usual "Bismillah parho’ before she starts a meal.She hears me say that out loud,and once again she does not know it herself.Or saying ‘Allah ka shukar’ after a meal etc etc.
She sees me doing these things and I am hoping she learns them and they become a habit.It is just the beginning…!
