Navigating a World of Influential Trends

  • Religious knowledge needs to be instilled in the hearts and minds of children so that they stay rooted and grounded in religious principles, and are not easily influenced by negative elements.
  • Imam Al-Ghazali stated in his book Ihya' Ulumiddin that every person has the responsibility to acquire religious knowledge, but the nature and extent of this duty may differ based on their circumstances and situation.
  • Parents today need to possess sufficient understanding about the world around them, so that they are able to guide and shape their children’s worldview and perspective, as well as provide them with the right exposure and experience that are suited to their time.
