If both parents are deeni conscious and are seeing to the proper upbringing of their children then that is excellent. However if only one parent has this deeni motivation and the other just doesn’t seem to be paying any interest then what should be the response? The concerned parent should do his/her best to nurture the child correctly to the best of his/her ability. He/she should not sit back and say: “Oh! What must I do? I am landed with this problem. There is no way out for me. This is in my taqdeer.” This is not in keeping with Islamic values, rather it is the effect of Western values, which lead one to despondency and losing hope.
