Worship and doctrine are two inseperable things because doctrine
represents the theoretical aspect of Islam whereas worship represents
its practical aspect. So, worship is the soul of doctrine that gives it
life and the mirror that reflects its image. When a child turns his
little face to his lord and responds to His Commands he is, by this,
only fulfilling and satisfying a natural instinct inside him. Dr. Sa’id
al-Buti referred to this saying, “But in order to make the doctrine
strongly implanted in the soul, it must be irragated with the water of
worship. Worship in its various images and shapes will make the
doctrine grow and flourish in the heart and will make it stand firm in
front of the hardships of life”.
A child is not oliged to observe the
preceps of religion. Nevertheless the stage of childhood must be a
stage of preparation and practice. This makes it easy for a child when
reaching maturity -the age of obligation- to perform the duties and the
compulsory acts of worship and he thus becomes ready to confront the
troubles of life confidently and courageously.
