Our native language, culture, specific manners, habits and skills are all generally learnt and practiced with our family. I believe learning religion is one of the items from the list of all what we learn from our family in our life too. So, one of the main factors behind one choosing a religion in his/her lifetime is family.
When you look around, you usually find people with strong faiths whose families are very strong in practicing what ever they believe. I don’t mean that all the people with strong faiths have parents with strong practice. We can find people who have just converted to a religion and they have a strong faith or they practice it in a very good way. But, most of the people you see have their parents believes. As an example: Countries with Muslim parents have the most Muslim Children. Countries with Hindu Parents have the most Hindu Children and even if parents believe in a specific creed of a religion children generally follow their parents. In Islam we believe as its narrated from Mohammad (SAW) that: Each child is born in a state of "Fitrah", then his parents make him a Jew, Christian or a Zoroastrian, the way an animal gives birth to a normal offspring.
As a conclusion we can say that family is one of the major factor of a child’s future. So, we should try our best to control our acts and habits because believe it or not it plays a remarkable role in our child’s future.
