Alhumdulillah, I guess I’m in good company for the most part.

Just wanted to mention that while it’s true that good examples have to be set for children, I have personally seen many families where the children are more religious than the parents. For example, a friend of mine started wearing hijab and her rather liberal family used to chide her for it.. but she persevered, and now even her mother has started reading namaz again. I have seen other individuals who were far from religion in their school days and are now more attuned to their religion. In my friends circle namaz times are adhered to, young people attend lectures and social events at the masjid, and while we don’t specifically sit down and talk Islam, there is sharing of knowledge and impromptu discussions in our interactions. So personally, I’m optimistic abt the situation.
