The Missioner of the United Kingdom and Ireland Zone of the Nasrul-Lahi-L-Fatih Society (NASFAT), Sheikh Muyideen Ibuowo, has urged parents to refrain from choosing careers for their children, saying that refraining from such would help them become independent and successful in life.

Sheikh Ibuowo gave this charge during the 1st Anniversary Celebration of the Nasrul-Lahi-L-Fatih Society (NASFAT) Swansea Group, themed: “Harnessing Self-Esteem as a Pivot for Youth Empowerment and Sustainable Success,” held at Swansea Central Mosque, St. Helen’s Road, Swansea, Wales, United Kingdom.

The missionary emphasized that youth is a stage of life, noting that the period between the ages of 15 and 39 is a critical time during which parents must be sensitive, patient, provide proper monitoring, listen, show love, and stay close to their children for proper upbringing.
Ibuowo stressed that many children in society today were on the wrong path in life because parents were adamant in choosing careers for them, which negatively affected their self-esteem.

According to the Islamic scholar, many parents have become disconnected from the moral understanding of their children due to the neglect of native languages in favor of foreign languages, emphasizing that “the mother tongue is the first identity of a child and the language through which children initially develop self-esteem, confidence, independence, cultural values, knowledge of Islam, and moral discipline.”
