@ Sidique... first of all...its good to see the patient replies that you have been giving. I have a question though...and I dont mean any harm in it...i just have a genuine question...why do ppl in Madrassahs teach kids abt Quran at all??? Isnt it enough for kids to get educated in the sciences and arts and isnt it enough for the kids to learn about the religion from their parents? Why are they so stubborn about kids learning Quran? I hope you realise at least YOU realise there is more to life than just religion!!! If kids have interest in learning about their religion let them do it of their own free will...same holds good for any other religion...why do ppl shove their holy-books into kids' hands?
