A Word Of Caution To Parents About Raising Their Children In Non-Muslim Environments.
Parents should teach children to be proud of their Religion, their faith and practice. Islam has a powerful and rich history; and its intellectual, spiritual and political dominance is a matter of record, but many parents and educators fail to convey this part of Islam to their children.
Additionally, living in non-Muslim lands and learning history based upon Western interpretations that are further skewed by prevalent liberal ideas and thoughts can only lead to turmoil in the young Muslim minds and a progressively greater sense of inadequacy.
This, in part, explains the recent rise in teenage Muslims opting to leave Islam in favour of atheism. Young people are ‘learning’ through state schooling, media, film and government propaganda, that Islam is not fit for this society because it does not accept radical feminism, homosexuality and gender fluidity, it does not accept evolution as a scientific truth, nor does it believe that the earth orbits the Sun.
Many Muslim youth are deceived by these ideas and it causes them to question their Islam. As parents and Muslims, we should have a roadmap ahead of us for our families and children, plan out your future. Look at their education, their environment, their upbringing, their holidays, their free-time, etc. Plan out where you all should be in 2 years, 5 years, 10 years and beyond. Do a risk assessment of the possible dangers of state-schooling, further education and remaining in societies where Islamic culture is not dominant and is even belittled and attacked. Think about migration to a Muslim land, and I have spoken of this often, and much of that is recorded and available (here and here).
