Children learn what they live
Assalamu Alaykum
Found this at my doctor's this morning and thought it was really good and worth sharing with you :
If A child lives with criticism She learns to condemn, If A child lives with hostility, He learns to fight If A child lives with ridicule, She learns to be shy If, A child lives with shame, He learns to feel guilt If A child lives with tolerance, She learns to be patient If A child lives with encouragement, He learns confidence If, A child lives with praise, She learns to appreciate If A child lives with fairness, He learns justice If, A child lives with security, She learns to have faith If, A child lives with approval. He learns to like himself If A child lives with acceptance, And friendship, he or she learns To find love in the world
....I think there is not much else to say after it ..

Masha'Allah I just came across this great thread!
It also tells you that if a child is raised in an islamic envirement, he learns to be a good muslim, and the otherway arround, if a child is raised in a non-islamic envirement, how can we expect him/her to be a good mulim in the future.
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "No babe is born but upon Fitra (as a Muslim). It is his parents who make him a Jew or a Christian
or a Polytheist." (Sahih Muslim, Book 033,
Number 6426).
It is our duty to try to estabish an islamic envirement for our kids, at least in our homes, teach them how to pray , take them to the mosque, teach them charity through zakat, teach them patience through Fasting..and so on...
And Insha'Allah the future generation will be as bright , successful and faithful just like the first generation of Sahabah Masha'Allah!
