Kamil Ahmad – Fulfilling your Responsibilities as Parents

			He says, Whoever neglects teaching
		

			his children
		

			what will benefit him,
		

			then he has left him
		

			in vain and he has done them a
		

			great injustice.
		

			The deviation
		

			and the corruption
		

			of most children
		

			has only come from their parents
		

			and their neglect of them,
		

			not teaching them the fundamentals of their religion.
		

			They neglected them when they were young
		

			and now when these children are older,
		

			they did not benefit themselves
		

			nor their parents when they got older. And
		

			so this is a reality that we are
		

			living in today. It's as if he was
		

			speaking about our situation today. How many times
		

			does the imam of the masjid have to
		

			deal
		

			with children when their parents come and their
		

			teenage children
		

			have gone astray? And they come
		

			and they tell the imam,
		

			My son,
		

			my daughter
		

			has gone astray.
		

			They're having doubts about Islam.
		

			They don't believe in Allah.
		

			1 has become gay, another has become lesbian.
		

			Come and fix them.
		

			Now,
		

			after an entire childhood
		

			of neglecting them,
		

			and
		

			allowing them
		

			to live freely in this society
		

			without watching them, without
		

			making sure that we have given them the
		

			proper tarbia,
		

			and the proper Islamic education,
		

			and put them in the right environment. Now
		

			you come.
		

			Now it's too late.
