Religious Education:

  • Focus on building faith (yaqeen) and understanding the purpose of life.
  • Emphasize the concept of tawhid (unity of God) and how to achieve it.
  • Foster hope through discussions about Allah's love, mercy, and forgiveness.
  • Introduce the reality of the hereafter through storytelling from the Quran and Sunnah.
  • Teach children to rely on Allah, avoid shirk (associating partners with God), and prioritize His pleasure above all else.
  • Guide them on the obligations and actions of worship.
  • Role-model worshiping behaviors.
  • Explain the reasons behind worship actions and the principles of halal (permissible) and haram (forbidden).
  • Introduce concepts of good and bad characteristics by using a point system.
  • Encourage learning the Quran.
  • Discuss religious perspectives on contemporary issues.

Life Skills:

  • Delegate age-appropriate chores to foster self-care and responsibility.
  • Nurture talents and develop job-specific skills based on individual character and personality.
  • Encourage decision-making through shared discussions or independent actions (adaptable to different situations).
summary

Teach children both religious knowledge (faith, worship, beliefs) and life skills (productivity, self-sufficiency, decision-making).
