Child Education in Islam Abdullah Nasih UlwanThis book outlines the basic Islamic concepts in child education. The
author has tried to coordiante the main ideas, as well as the basics
precepts for raising Muslim children in all the different spheres of
life.
First of all, the importance of correct belief and faith cannot be
inculcated in young children except through the teaching and example of
their parents; and obviously, the role of the mature and religious
mother is foremost. This state of harmony can only be achieved when
matrimonial relations are relatively stable.
Care is to be taken in providing young children with all the necessary
elements in the fields of ethical, physical and psychological education.
This cannot be overemphasized. It is established that the common
ailments of human societies, personal as well as social, find their
remedy in monotheism and justice. Therefore, emphasis on these two moral
principles is essential. Muslim children must develop a clear
understanding of the concept of the oneness of Allah, mainly through the
performance of devotional acts of worship, to Him, and through
developing a sense of justice in all personnel and social dealings.
The author has briefly outlined these glorious concepts in this book.
Through his deep understanding of Islam, and his eminent conviction and
personal adherence to its glorious principles, he introduces this book
to the readers, with all practical instructions, with the intention of
helping to build up a Muslim nation, worthily to uphold the honorable
tenets of the Glorious Qur'an and Sunnah.
