RELIGION

A religion is a system of human thought which usually includes a set of narratives, symbols, beliefs and practices that give meaning to the practitioner's experiences of life through reference to a higher power, deity or deities, or ultimate truth. Religion is commonly identified by the practitioner's prayer, ritual, meditation, music and art, among other things, and is often interwoven with society and politics. It may focus on specific supernatural, metaphysical, and moral claims about reality (the cosmos and human nature) which may yield a set of religious laws, ethics, and a particular lifestyle. Religion also encompasses ancestral or cultural traditions, writings, history, and mythology, as well as personal faith and religious experience.

Religion and its beliefs are put into the child when they are small and growing. The fear of doing something bad and getting into trouble can be avoided. If the parents or the elders forget this aspect, then they can find themselves with problematic children.

Each one has his own way of doing things. They following a particular routine and they have their own beliefs which noone can change.
Being a Muslim, I can talk of Islam. We are taught from the age of understanding about it. Who is our Lord and the principles and the prayers of the Quran. These things work in our mind from the age of two. We learn what is good and what is bad. What punishments are given if we do not pray or recite. We are taught from our young days to respect our elders and do what is right.

All parents should spend a little time with their children and try to organize their life to the better side. Teach them the main things from which they can go further. They should be guided and helped through to become good children and good people in society. Religion is just as important as education. These two things together go hand in hand.

You can be of any religion but you should train the child during his small days otherwise you will be the person who is losing a lot in life. The children will be the targets in the future.

So please help the little ones to go straight and correct them where necessary. Give them a firm and strong background. Help them to learn the good and the bad. They will then lead a peaceful life and have a happy future.
