As-salamu alaykum - Why many Muslim parents in India find it hard to teach their kids Quran and Deen

As-salamu alaykum - I want to talk about a delicate topic honestly. I don’t think this comes from lack of iman. Most Muslim parents in India truly care about their children’s Deen. The real struggles are time, finding good teachers, and access. Families are busy surviving - school fees, work, and rising costs take priority. Kids are swamped with school, tuition classes, and exams, so there’s little energy or time left for Quran or Islamic lessons. In many mixed urban neighborhoods, it’s hard to find qualified, child-friendly ustads or ustadhahs nearby. On top of that, the way Islamic studies are sometimes taught is old-fashioned - rote memorization without helping kids see how it connects to their everyday lives - which can push them away instead of drawing them in. Many parents themselves didn’t get strong, practical Islamic education, so they don’t feel confident teaching their children. There’s also social pressure. Some parents worry their children might face exclusion or bias if they seem “too religious.” This isn’t a critique of Islam or of Muslim families. It’s more about a lack of systems, time, and accessible, relevant teaching. What we need are compassionate, flexible, and modern approaches that fit into today’s realities - workshops, flexible classes, weekend halaqas, kid-friendly teachers, and support for parents learning along with their children. Would appreciate hearing your experiences and any ideas that have worked for you - jazakAllahu khair.
