The Holy Prophet (s) was once talking to his companions about the importance of religious education. He told them he was far from the parents.

They asked him the reason and he explained that those parents would give a lot of importance to secular education, but neglect religious education. May the Almighty Allah protect us from being amongst them. What exactly is meant by religious education? The following are some necessary parts of religious training. Beliefs in God A firm faith in the Creator is the source of all good. If a child grows up to believe in God, he will learn to be conscientious. Life will hold meaning and responsibility.

Children must be taught about the existence of God, and the abundance of blessings He has bestowed upon us. Nature, Science, etc. could all be used to point out the greatness of the Creator. Expose the child to books and films that show people with a firm faith in God, and illustrate how the faith helps them overcome obstacles and problems. Children should not be given the impression that Allah would like to punish humans for every wrong they do.

Some parents and educators warn children about the punishment of Allah in order to scare them into being good.
