The knowledge of our religion is an important part of being a muslim. Regardless of where you live, knowing the basics of Islam is the duty of all muslims and passing on that knowledge to your children is a responsibility that none of us should take lightly.

A child is most impressionable and absorbs knowledge just as how it is taught. A quote from Al-Ghazali says that a child

 “is a trust (placed by Allah) in the hands of his parents, and his innocent heart is a precious element capable of taking impressions”.

When a child is born, he starts learning about life and everything around him. Information is absorbed like a sponge. This is the best time to teach them about Islam.
