EDUCATION OF MUSLIMS AND

DA’WAH



““INDEED, there has come unto you [O mankind] a Messenger

[Muhammad] from among yourselves: heavily weighs -upon

him [the thought] that you might suffer [in the life to come];

full of concern for you [is he, and] full of compassion and

mercy towards the believers.”.”

((Qur’an: Taubah: 9: 128Qur’an: Taubah: 9: 128) )

“All of my people (UMMATI ) will enter paradise except those who

refuse.” They said : O Messenger of Allah, Who are those who refuse?.

He ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصملسو هيلع هللا ىلص then said: “ Whoever obeys me will enter Paradise, and

whoever disobey me is one who refuses (to enter it).”

(Hadith reported by Bukhary)



“ Invite them to Islam, and inform them what is enjoined upon

them for, I swear on Allah, if Allah should guide one person

through you, it is better for you than possessing the ‘red camels’

(i.e. the most precious of things to have then).”

“People are like minerals, the best of them in Jahiliyah

will still be the best amongst them in Islam,

so long as they have proper (profound) understanding.”

(Hadith reported by Bukhary, Muslim, Darimi and Ahmad)



Potentials, opportunities & Amanah:1. All the people who are invited or have accepted Islam already possess

the inherent goodness, value and capabilities like that of raw minerals.

When they become Muslims, it is with their education in Islam that

would actualize, perfect and manifest their respective potentials.

2. Therefore make DA’WAH and ensure their education – literally their

“understanding of the religion Islam” (FAQIH FID-DEEN) is in

accordance with that which the Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصملسو هيلع هللا ىلص had done whereby

they were all harnessed to serve Allah’ cause fulfilling the legacy – they

became the best and exemplary community as witnesses to all

mankind.

3. If Muslims are developed not to primarily serve the Ummah but for

other cause, it may be deemed betrayal towards His Messenger ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصملسو هيلع هللا ىلص.

Parents may already provide nurturing in accordance with Islamic traditions. Yet although much time spent confined at home, we must also become aware of strong influences through exposures of the mass media and our family lifestyle and parental behavior.

Although some basic knowledge of Islam may have been provided, yet when they sent the children to formal school, stress towards “academic excellence” only and tend to neglect the “Aqeedah-mic” element in their education which must continuously be complimented in tandem with their development while in and throughout their schooling age.

SCHOOLING PERIOD

EXPOSURE TO TODAY’S “TEENS SUB-CULTURE”


With lesser contact-time at home, and inadequate mentoring & monitoring Islamically by parents, their education becomes “secularized”; children may be left to peers and media influences. Islamic values may began to be subsumed by negative trends and sub-cultures opposed to Islam. Some may begin to have doubts about Islam or even lose their Muslim identity.

FURTHER EXPOSURE TO TODAY’S “TEENS SUB-CULTURE”


At this level, our young may become more independent (less attached to family influence); their idealism may lead them to ‘try out’, to adapt and adopt values alien to Islam itself.Serious crisis of identity usually occur at this stage – usually when they become ‘worldly-wise’ but unfortunately their knowledge of Islam stagnates at “kindergarten or primary” level.

No, if parents merely delegate tasks to teachers without they themselves participating in child’s holistic development, and providing good role models.


Is part-time Islamic classes Is part-time Islamic classes adequate? adequate?

No, when learning does not conform to its systematic ways according to tradition – fardh ‘ayn before kifaayah; and to begin with eclectic before specialization

No, when their identity as Muslims allowed to be eroded by other values and “idols” as role models.”

Is Islamic education achieved Is Islamic education achieved by integrating knowledge?by integrating knowledge?
