Raising children with prayer

“It is important to erect defenses against Satan in our homes that not only protect us from each attack but are also able to launch a counter attack. Do not let Satan enter your life by accepting his love as [true] love.”

“If the worldly desire increases so that one is engrossed in TV dramas and the Internet and is late in offering Salat, then love for Allah cannot develop. Gaining this love requires sacrifice of desires.”

“Avoid all kinds of raucous and vulgar talk and polytheistic gatherings. Establish five daily prayers. Hence, you should not ignore any of the commandments of Allah.”

“You can observe this in most homes that the eldest to the youngest are not offering Fajr Salat on time as they were either watching TV or were online on the Internet until late, watching some program and, as a result, they could not wake up on time.”

“If the parents are virtuous, observe the Salat, read and recite the Holy Quran... then the children under their influence will adopt virtues... And even within the home they should keep an eye on the programs that they watch on television or their Internet usage.”

“Do not lose your own children while attempting to reform others. That should be our foremost concern.”
