In this work, topics such as acquainting children with mosques at an early age, answering any lingering questions in a child's mind from the beginning, worshipping an praying within sight of our children (in order to set them a practical example), respect for the Qur'an and similar topics are covered from the perspective of the Qur'an and Sunna.

If we want our children to be courageous, we should not frighten them with ideas of vampires, ghosts, giants, etc. We should raise them as strong individuals with a firm faith which will enable them to face up to any kind of difficulty.

If we really wish our children to have faith, all our attitudes and sensitivities in certain subjects, the way we go to bed and get up, the way we exert ourselves in prayer, the way we spread our affectionate wings over our children, must all reflect our faith in Allah and their hearts must be filled with such faith. We should always try to be the ideal for them, to avoid any kind of behavior which might make them feel contempt for us.
