Prayers, well most of us leave Fajar’s prayer and expect from our children to offer, when I was a child I use to observed my grandparents offering namaz which encouraged me to offer prayers five times a day, although I still sometimes skip during the traveling, which is not right at all and I feel so heavy and unpeaceful when I don’t offer any prayer, it feels like that if someone is continuously whispering in the ear and asking me to offer.
No matter where you are if you’re outside or on the road, when you realize its prayer time, pull over and let your kids see you keep your prayer.
The easiest way to make this your child habit is by writing this in your goal list somewhere in your diary.
Goals
We want our child to form a habit of praying.
We want our child to love to speak to their Lord.
We want to implement in our child a desire to pray.
We want our child to understand that it’s an obligation and not a choice.
Now think how can we encourage our kids to offer five times a day,
Remind your child in a pleasant way.
Ask your son if he’d like to perform the adhan and call everyone to prayer.
Encourage your children to pray in jummah (congregation) with one another to get more reward.
Perform your prayer in front of your children, whether they join in or not.
We are living in the modern world where everything can be really easy to plan and accomplished so we can easily download some mobile applications and can set the alarm for each prayer which will remind us as well as our children to offer prayers and gradually it will become the habit.
Step by Step Salat is a mobile app can guide about how to pray in Islam. Using step by step Salat will help fulfill the obligation of Islamic prayer.
Being Muslims we must make our kids understand the importance of namaz.
