Abstract

UDK 28:343.5-053.2

The article discusses a well-known hadith of Allah’s Messinger s.w.s. about teaching namaz to children:”Teach a child to offer namaz when it attains the age of seven, and (strike him) command it when it is age ten.” Interpreting the words 'wadribuhu' to mean 'strike him' is partial and has no foundation in the practice of Allah’s Messenger s.w.s, who always and everywhere recommended mercy and compassion towards weak, what children undoubtedly are at the age of ten. Keeping this in mind, in this article, we offered a satisfying solution, based upon detailed analysis of given hadith, its comentaries and translations to Bosnian language, which holds the essence of the Messinger’s intention to persuade a child at the age of ten to offer salah.
