Love this post! I think this pertains not only to Muslims but to all of us in general! Our children are our future, why not start teaching them by showing them.. Love this!
My biggest challenge as a parent is setting the right example for my children.

But that’s not all. I have to watch what I eat, how I eat it, start with Bismillah and end with Alhamdulillah even if I didn’t use to; reduce my attention to the media, phones, gadgets and increase eye contact; keeping my word; courtesy and manners; hygiene; being active physically and mentally; conversing in my native dialect more frequently; what I watch on TV and listen to on the car radio or play on the CD; adhkaar, adhkaar and more
