Teaching Children

El-Moslimany holds a science degree in botany and entered the field of education, initially with the intention of establishing a school in the USA. However, following a crisis, she ended up running it. Thus, she has drawn on decades of experience to make a plea and sketch out an alternative vision for Islamic schools. The introduction celebrates the increase in full-time Islamic schools in Muslim minority countries and appreciates the efforts by some Muslim educators in the USA, Canada and the UK, although efforts in South Africa receive no mention. The journey of the author into Muslim education is made evident, in doing so, her position is established. The objective seems to be a call for Muslim educators to scrutinize modern educational theory and discard what is contrary to Islamic values and systematically rebuild the best around a tawhidic framework. Like those of the past, they should take knowledge of other civilizations and infuse it with an Islamic perspective (p. 5).
