@Amjad sab, to me there is no lesson for elders at all. The spirit and purpose of prayers in Islam is socialization and discipline, but it don’t reflect in real life. The societies which are more religious, seen to be more show-casing and displaying their rituals, yet in reality are more corrupt, intolerance, narrow mindedness, self-projection, self-glorification, incompetent, plague with ignorance and poverty. When one compare with those societies which don't follow or display their religious rituals, but in real life more transparent, honest, competent, advance in every walk of life leading the rest.
I am not sure that making children habitual of to follow the inherited prejudices, traditions and rituals of faith, would enable them in their adult life as good human being. Sunni would choose sunni mosques/mudarissa, so is the case with whabby, shia or for that matter, hindu, christian, jews and Buddhist, but every one (child) would come-out with an additional baggage of hate against others because of their isolated learning pattern. No doubt, theologically they might emerged capable performer of the ritual services, but, certainly they would lack training and practices of a real life which is always diverse in nature simply because no one is in the position to choose his or her fellow worker at the work place and neighbourhood. The fundamental of every religion is of its spirituality. I wonder how one can relate a copycat to spirituality which is based on high consciousness of human understanding and experience?
I was sitting with my friend's shop, where mother of two, probably 3 and 4 years old. The best and powerful tools always available to every child: to cry. The elder child was seeking permission from mother to take orange juice. "No, we have this at home," said mother. "Mummy, I want this," child cried forcefully. "Don't you remember, you promised me that you will not asked for any thing from shop," replied mother. "Would you apologize to your mummy because you have violated a promise," said mother forcefully not to bow to the demand of the child.
