First Words of a Little Girl,Islamic Stories

The following incident was mentioned by a Shaikh from Toronto, Canada.
The incident is about his 18 months old daughter. The shaikh also has
a son who is about 3 years old. The shaikh has already started
teaching the young son about Quran and ahadith without wasting any
time. Mashallah, the boy has already memorized surah Fatiha and
variousother surahs. One day, his young daughter whois only 18 months
old was sitting beside the son while he was asked to recite surah
Fatiha by the shaikh. This little girl is pronouncing her first words
clearly in these days. Now, when the sonrecited the 5th verse of surah
Fatiha untill"Ihdina Sirat...", the small girl suddenly said"Al
Mustaqim" and completed the verse. Subhanallah! How blessed is this
child whose first words are among the words of the Holy Quran, which
she learned through her father when he was teaching her brother.
It is very important to teach Islam to our children in their early
childhood. We can easilybend trees in any direction when they are
still small. But when the trees become big and tall, 10 people pushing
together is unable to bend them. Similarly, teaching the children when
they are young is necessary so that they go towards the right
direction.
