Abdul Rahman Chao – Why We Worship

About this lecture

In this thought-provoking lecture, Sheikh Abdul Rahman Chao addresses one of the most pressing concerns facing Muslim parents today: why their children are not practicing Islam. He argues that the root cause is a failure to teach children *why* they worship Allah, rather than just *what* to do and *how* to do it. Drawing on Hadith, Quranic verses, real-life examples, and the wisdom of scholars like Ibn Taymiyyah, he presents compelling reasons why worship is a fundamental human need — and challenges parents to embody that need themselves before they can pass it on to the next generation.
