| It has to be reiterated that Allah has
created Man in the nature of wanting to know Him. Human reasoning, which is attuned
to his nature, leads to knowing Him rightly. Therefore, children's ability to
reason, when prodded by the parents, to gain the right concept of Allah should
not be under-rated. When the growing child is taught to address his dua
(supplication) to Allah, the impact of his faith in the dua is tremendous only
if he has also been made to gain the right Islamic concept of Him. |
