I've read your reply again, and see that yes, it is a difficult question, whether it is lawful or unlawful. Also, you mentioned that it is important to keep clear of things we are not sure of.
My intentions are to read and understand, never to pressure or compete, so masha'llah.
Also, thinking of the fact that only Allah KNows all, and out of HIs creation, The Prophet (saaws) knows most.
I have many righteous friends some born into islam and some reverted , from all parts of the world, who raise their sons in different ways. these Brothers are knowledgeable and kind servants of Allah(swt), I just get confused seeing different ways, but they all seem to follow the Prophet( saaws) qur'an and sunna, so masha'llah.
I also understand that their cultures are different and at times, the cultures interfer, those are things that I must not attach to islam.
Shukrun again, and keep up the good work
As-salaamu alaikum wa rahmantu'llah
