Kids these days are constantly growing up in a world full of technology and social media. It’s hard for them to stay away from gadgets and the internet, and even harder for them to focus on anything else. So how do we teach our children about Islam when they’re always distracted by their phones and laptops? We should train them on the true basis of Islam.
Introduce Islam to kids at a young age
Parents can introduce Islam to their children by taking them to see the many colorful paintings of the Holy Kaaba, according to a member of an Islamic organization.
The pictures are displayed along with calligraphy at Al-Falah Exhibition in Baitul Futuh mosque, which is located in South London. They state that these drawings provide an insight into the world of Al-Quran, which is a book that teaches children about spiritual and moral values.
Attendees of this exhibition were also able to purchase books on Al-Quran and DVDs of famous Sheikh’s recitation.
“We have lots of really nice colourful paintings so people who come over with their kids can explain to them the beauty of Islam,” said Samira Hussain from Al-Falah Exhibition.
Ms Hussain also stated that books can be found in a variety of languages, so not only all Asians and Arabs can understand it but even children who do not speak a foreign language can have something to read.
“It is for everyone really, we try to make it as interesting as possible and we have a lot of books that are translated into other languages.”
The Quran is the most important religious book for Muslims, who believe it contains the word of God. It is written in Arabic, so children should learn to read it fluently. The Quran with tajweed can be a valuable way to introduce young kids at a young age . This Quran is designed specifically for children to use. It is beautifully illustrated and the Quranic text has been specially arranged to make it easier for young kids to read. The has helped thousands of Muslim children all over the world to learn about Islam at an early age.
Teach them the basics of the religion – including prayer, charity, and fasting
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Teach your children to pray when they become seven years old, and smack them if they do not do so when they become ten years old. He also told mothers, in general, to raise their children with the principles of Islam for them to become righteous individuals. Raising children in this way will result in a generation that abides by the Qur’an and Sunnah of Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him).
we provide practical advice on some legal and beneficial measures mothers and fathers can take to impart Islamic education to their children, especially while they are young.
Teaching children to pray
Parents should teach their children to pray as soon as they can pronounce the words correctly and understand the meaning of what they say. This is usually around the age of seven.
This is an important step in becoming Muslim, as prayer is one pillar of our religion that must be upheld by all believers.
Encourage them to ask questions about Islam and learn more about it
Ask your teacher about this and see if you can answer it in class. If not then here’s the answer:
Firstly, Allah never forces us to do anything we don’t want to do — everything is by His choice and will. However, He does give us the chance to choose Him and His path. He guides those of us who want to do what is right, and He leaves those who don’t make that choice to their own devices — which will not be good for them in the long term.
The idea of Allah testing someone’s faith is common throughout all three Abrahamic faiths (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) — it’s a test of our belief in God. Allah tells us this several times in the Quran, such as:
And indeed, we have put forth every kind of example in this Qur’an for mankind. But, man is ever more quarrelsome than anything. — Surah Ibrahim 14:5
And truly, if Allah should not enable people to see the consequences of their deeds, no one would be saved; but He does overlook many things you do. — Surah Ibrahim 14:4
We should focus on teaching our kids the true basis of Islam- one of peace, love, and understanding. This is something that can be done with the help of professional educators who have a deep understanding of Islamic teachings. Let’s work together to create a generation of Muslims that are knowledgeable in their faith and act as role models for others.
