*   From what age should children be trained? In a Madani Muzakarah, the following was stated in this regard: ‘Complete attention should be given to the upbringing of children from their childhood. For example, when you try to entertain an infant, make the zikr of ‘Allah Allah’ in front him so that his first words are ‘Allah.’ When observing the mischief of children, some people encourage them instead of rectifying them. Their thinking is that they will start training them when they become a bit mature; this should not be the case, because if the child is not stopped at this age, then those bad habits will become ingrained in his nature and then it will become difficult to do away with them later on. (Madani Muzakarah, Cassette Number 106)
