take a moment to observe the congregation in our mosques or suraus - the majority are those in their 40s and above... where are the youth and younger generations? a mosque or surau is not only a place for performing prayers; it is a space for seeking knowledge and building community life... encourage young children to visit the mosque or surau with their fathers... even if they want to play, do not scold them harshly; simply guide them gently... it is normal for children - they are in the process of growing up... when they are accustomed from a young age to accompanying their fathers to the mosque or surau, Allah willing, it will spark their interest as youths to enliven these sacred spaces... in conclusion, ensuring that the youth become part of the mosque or surau congregation begins with the responsibility of fathers - to bring them along and nurture their connection with the house of worship... let us start now, and may we gain great rewards from Allah... most importantly, ensure your intention is sincere - do not do it for praise, for fear that it becomes an act of showing off... do it solely for the sake of Allah...
