Dear respected parents, guardians, and our beautiful children,
May peace and blessings of Allah be upon you all
I would like to welcome you all, wholeheartedly, to an all new academic year … and to also introduce to you this website which, I hope, you will go over thoroughly to familiarize yourselves with the rules, regulations, and policies of El-Ber Islamic School which is devoted to educate children in an authentic Islamic way, providing them with the useful and necessary education; after all, these children are Allah’s trust in our hand, so we have to treat them accordingly, since the preservation and the safeguarding of this trust hinges primarily upon Good Education.
Investing in educating children is the sole fast and thriving way for any society that plans for a successful and civilized future. This education can only be nurtured via a solid interaction of efforts involving the home, the school, and the Mosque; and everyone does their best to make a man who is a leader and a rightly guided individual. The house, the heart of which is the mother and the father is its covering, full of love, consciousness, and mercy, is the house that makes the man.
Furthermore, it’s worth mentioning that the role of the mother in education is greater that the husband’s or the teacher’s; she is undeniably the one who can handle and endure this role. I’d like to seize this opportunity to put forward some important guidelines in educating children:
1- Parents are highly advised to read and learn the ways of the prophet (pbuh) as well as hismanners and ways in education.
2- A part of your duties is to watch your children and follow up with their activities; help them choose righteous friends, and read interesting and useful books; solve their problems through persuasion, and with wisdom.
3- Teach your children Al-Qur’an and Sunnah; Awaken their desire for Al-Jannah (Paradise), and warn them of An-Naar (Hellfire).
4- Teach your child the utterance and saying of La’ilaha illa-Laah, Mohammadur-Rrasul-ul-Laah (There is no god worthy of worship but Allah, Mohamed is the Messenger of Allah) from his/her early age, for it is a benefaction and a blessing.
5- Teach your children to ask no one but Allah and seek His help; instill in them, from their early age, His love and faith in Him alone.
6- Warn your children of blasphemy, cursing, or using any bad language, and of stealing and lying.
7- Warn your children of gambling, even if it’s for fun.
8- Train your child to pray and fast and show him/her their benefits.
9- Birthday celebration is Bid’a, and therefore it is forbidden in our Deen.
10- Don’t let your children view dissipated magazines, or detective stories, nor will you let them watch T.V. or go to the movies, because of their potential affect on the children’s behavior now and in the future.
11- Warn your children of smoking and advise them to eat what is good.
12- Train children to be righteous in deeds and in words.
13- Make your daughter love Al-hijab in her early age so she’d be committed, to it when she grows up.
14- Train your child to use his/her right hand in giving and receiving things, eating or drinking, and while writing.
15- Teach your children bravery, encouraging kindness and forbidding abominable acts.
16- Buy educational and valuable Islamic story books for your children so they may learn from them.
17- Use the approaches of Targheeb and Tarheeb, Targheeb alone is not enough. |
