“You will find that some of our children will naturally try to carry out that which has been causing their parents happiness all of this time. They will have to then, disregard that which their own hearts push them towards. Do you not see that after a while, this may cause some sort of resentment from the child toward the parents? Do you not see that when this happens, the child has understood that what they want and care about takes the back seat to the whims and desires of others, when it comes to their future? Is this really the message that we should be giving our children?”
-Abu Abdillah Abdul Lateef
