The topic of the week which is the “Pay Back Effect” a thought-provoking reflection on how children grow up and eventually take over from their parents or guardians, often reflecting the values they were raised with.
Speaking passionately, Rev. Kankam highlighted the strength of parental responsibility within the Muslim faith, emphasizing the structured way in which Muslim families introduce children to prayer, fasting, respect for elders, and community service from a young age.
He explained that the “Pay Back Effect” describes the cycle in which the early investment parents make in teaching their children good habits is returned in later years, not only through the children’s success but also in how they care for their families and serve society.
Rev. Kankam encouraged all communities, regardless of religious background, to take a closer look at the deliberate efforts made in Muslim households when it comes to raising the next generation.
He stressed that values such as discipline, reverence for God, and love for family are universal and should be emphasized across all homes and faiths.
