As an advice to myself and others, nurture your children upon knowledge from an early age. Such as: 1. Teach them to read the Qur'aan as soon as they can read and speak. 2. Encourage them to memorise the soorahs from the last juzz even at a young age i.e. 3-4 years old. 3. Get them to read Islaamic books for children and read to them regularly. 4. Give particular attention to books on Tawheed and the beliefs of the Muslim, also books on how to make wudhoo and perform Salaah. 5. Take your boys to the Masjid from a young age, teach them how to sit in the Masjid and encourage them to give Salaam and shake hands. 6. Instill in them love for Islaamic clothing from a young age, for boys thowbes cut above the ankles and koofees and for girls the hijaab. 7. Teach them the names of the Prophets and read to them their stories also stories of the companions and the Scholars of the past. 8. Teach them short dua'as and etiquettes of eating, drinking, going to the toilet etc. 9. Teach them manners from an early age, how to speak to elders and how to show respect. 10. Encourage them to appreciate the creation around us, show them animals and trees, link this to Tawheed. Do all this and more from as young an age as you can, even if that be 3 years old or 4.
