The Education of Our Children: Errors and Remedies, by Saad Karim Al-Fiqqi

The education of our children: Errors and Remedies, by Saad Karim Al-Fiqqi (2nd revised and corrected edition 2020)

While voices are being raised today to claim the right of the child to enjoy conditions favorable to his physical, intellectual and social development, his right to freely express his opinions and his right to participate in decisions concerning him, Islam, a perfect and global religion, has guaranteed for 1,400 years the rights of the child and the duties that must be fulfilled in his favour.

Parents should fear Allah in their behavior towards their children. They should instruct them in the way of Allah and inspire them with contempt for trivialities. Moreover, it is better to implant the good virtues in the child rather than waiting for him to grow up to inculcate them if we want them to become anchored and stabilized in his mind. By properly educating our children, we perform sublime worship and show gratitude to Allah for the favors He bestows on us. But then, how do we know what is good and what is dangerous for our children?

Here is a beautiful book, subdivided into brief chapters, which shows parents the basics of the duties to respect and the frequent errors to avoid, and which gives advice and practical solutions in order to succeed in their education.

"The future of man depends on the stage of his childhood, positively or negatively. This reality affirms that the future of society depends on the interest shown in its children. They are the men and women of tomorrow, they are the future master and builder of civilization, they are the real resource for development , they are the hope of society, take care of their well-being, it is to take a positive step in the construction of society" writes Dr. Ahmed Abdel Aziz Al Halibi .

May Allah inspire us with the perfect education of our children and guide them!
