Re: What is the Most Important Thing You want to Instill in Your Child?
True
@ehl-e-chamman, I didn’t intend to be nasty in my post either when I brought up education. It may have come out sounding snotty. The reason why I mentioned it is because I’ve seen examples of very educated people whose characters are in want of refinement, We tend to think that education makes a person more refined, but not always. People tend to think wealth makes one refined, but not always. There are poor people who have more class. One could argue that making religion a top priority can be taken to an extreme too. But I’m not talking about the “holier-than-thou-condemn-everyone-else” type of religious upbringing cuz that’s against the lifestyle of the Prophet SAWS. His sunnah, his lifestyle taught us to seek education, to strive to do our best, to respect others, to be humble, to show mercy even to those who hurt us or who are in the wrong. So, that’s why I think Islam will encompass morality, education, etc.
