My kids don't pray or read Quran. Can someone help me?

Question: Do we have to make children pray and read Quran? There is no compulsion in religion?

Answer: Yes.

Children have to be instructed and encouraged to make salat from the ages of puberty, the same as adults. The saying of the prophet, "Encourage them in salat at 7 years and thump them at 10 (If they don't - lightly tap them but not harsh).

Have them learn Arabic and read Qur'an in the original language as this will be something they will really benefit in later years, inshallah.

There is no compulsion to BECOME a Muslim. But there is most definitely compulsion in the way of a Muslim. After all, you HAVE to pray, right? And you have to make the Hajj, and the fasting is also obligatory.

So, read the whole verse next time (2:256) This is only talking about those who are coming out of the darkness to true light of Islam.
