As Muslims, it is important for us to have basic knowledge about our religion. Whether you live in the East or the West, you must not forget this duty. Furthermore, Islamic studies are essential so that you can pass on the essential religious knowledge to your kids correctly.

A child is most impressionable and absorbs knowledge just as how it is taught. A quote from Al-Ghazali says that a child

 “Is a trust (placed by Allah) in the hands of his parents, and his innocent heart is a precious element capable of taking impressions”. 

When a child is born, he starts learning about life and everything around him. Information is absorbed like a sponge. This is the best time to teach them about Islam.
