Teaching Islamic values to children is one of the most important responsibilities of Muslim parents. It requires patience, creativity, and a deep understanding of both Islamic principles and child development.

Children learn more from what they see than what they hear. Parents who embody Islamic values in their daily lives provide the most powerful teaching tool.
