Today we have this dilemma called

"Generation Gap"

How can we bridge this gap?
How can we have same type of relationship as we see in Quran?

The answer

The common Themes in all of the scenes above are

1 Understanding
2 Trust in relationship
3 Common goals
4 Caring and respected attitude
5 Communication
6 Same level of understanding of Deen.
7 They read the same Book
8 They had the same interest;serve الله

This can happen if we connect ourselves and our children to book of الله
إن شا الله bi iznillah

Imagine!
Mother daughter comes home after a class and discuss what they learn together

Imagine!
Father and son discussing together how to solve a problem in a local Masjid.

Imagine!
The whole family is on the same page when it comes to Deen.

O الله make my family my assistant in Deen.

وَاجْعَل لِّي وَزِيرًا مِّنْ أَهْلِي ﴿٢٩
