Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Kashaful Salat Introduction So far I have written books for elders, friends, adults, and women. Their encouragement always renews my energy and enthusiasm. This is the first time I am writing for the youth of my nation. It was a very difficult task, but my friends pressured me in such a way that I had to do as they wished. It is a very difficult task to teach children about.

One must teach them in such a way they understand the true beliefs, but at the same time, they do not feel any burden upon their minds. I relied on my Moula (as) who is the helper of the whole universe. My real purpose is to make the youth become accustomed to thinking deeply upon the matters of religion. So when they become adults, they will have enough understanding of their religion that no one will be able to make them deviate from the true path.

I have no doubt my Moula (as) will help me, and I will be successful in my purpose. Basically it is the responsibility of parents to teach their children, but in these fast pac ed times, men are busy in their jobs and women are busy in the home. They do not have enough time to fulfill their most important responsibility. The result of this is they have left the teaching of their children up to the worldly schools and the maulvis (religious scholars).

Now the maulvis have begun to teach the children a "shortened version" of beliefs, and the parents have no objections to this. When the child becomes older, the result of the education gained while under the tutelage of these maulvis becomes apparent. That is the time when the parents start to worry, but the time for teaching their children has passed. Children born in the houses of momineen sometimes disobey or even turn against Ahlul Bayt (as). The parents are responsible for this.

All of the par ents must remember on the day of judgment Allah will ask them regarding their children. In this situation I am forced to write such a book which tells the youth about the true beliefs. Once they fully understand, it will make their foundation strong. When they get older, they will continue their journey towards gaining knowledge and marifat (recognition). This will keep them firmly on the right path, and also they will become the source of forgiveness for their parents.

It is very important to tell them from birth that they are born only in the obedience of Masoomeen (as) not some mujtihid (scholar).
