PARENTS play a big role to preach about Islam to their children. They are the closest ones to the children. When mother gives birth, parents will start teach the children about Islam. In fact, since the child was still in the mother's womb, parents can start reading Al-Quran to the child.

A child who listened to Quran recitation in the womb can have the feeling to recognize Allah and His attributes through questions, observation, curiosity and wonder and they have stronf feeling towards performance of salah.

The child is always welcomed and will give happiness to their parents and it is as essential for strengthening the marriage bond and for enlarging the ummah of Islam. The child is an amanah from Allah. Therefore, parents should teach the child what is the purpose of life, how to live in Islamic way and all teachings in Islam that a Muslim should know.
