Children should be aware of the vices, what they need to avoid, what is indoctrinated in schools about these matters, and what the responses should be?
Salman Ahmad Klar Sahib, assuming the role of Secretary Tarbiyat, was next to receive guidance from Huzoor (aa).Huzoor (aa) advised:
Instill the habit of performing salat in atfal from their childhood. If they get accustomed to praying in their childhood, they will continue this practice as they grow older.
Huzoor (aa) further said:
Besides, regarding tarbiyat, it is essential to openly address the immoral tendencies prevalent in modern times. Children should be aware of the vices, what they need to avoid, what is indoctrinated in schools about these matters, and what the responses should be. Nowadays, schools excessively teach about LGBT issues. Recently, a child was telling me that they were being taught about sex in school. He asked, ‘Why do I need to be taught all these things?’ So, children themselves are starting to question. A 4, 5, or 6-year-old child does not understand these things. As these schemes of Dajjal increase, the need for tarbiyat will also increase.
Huzoor (aa) also said:
Parents should also be educated on how to treat their children, how to address such matters when they come up, and how to present them in front of their children. These things now have to be openly discussed; otherwise, you will remain shy, and those people will continue teaching indecencies, and tarbiyat will be lost somewhere in the middle.
