00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Often, parents ask me, like, what's the best
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			way to teach
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			children Islam? It's not easy. There's
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			a great hadith from Imam Abu Majah who
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			said, that the prophet
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			said the best thing a father can leave
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			his children is good character. The best way
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			to teach good character
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			is to spend time. My friend That's why
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			it's called
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			the water didn't come out. Oh my gosh.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			Try again.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			There's a example. Right? Let's see what happens.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:29
			Say Bismillah.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			Oh, there it comes. Now it's coming out.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			You said Bismillah.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			So the best way
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			is just to spend time with them and
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			contextualize
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			religion seamlessly in our lives, not to compartmentalize
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			it. So they see us as being religious
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			here,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			not religious here. Actually, what that does is
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			confuse our children.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:49
			Seamlessly
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			try to do it, we ask a lot
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:51
			for tofia.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			That leaves that that that the prophet talked
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			about. Of course, it applies to all family
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			members. We ask a lot to tofia.
