Parents may already provide nurturing in accordance with Islamic traditions. Yet although much time spent confined at home, we must also become aware of strong influences through exposures of the mass media and our family lifestyle and parental behavior.

Although some basic knowledge of Islam may have been provided, yet when they sent the children to formal school, stress towards “academic excellence” only and tend to neglect the “Aqeedah-mic” element in their education which must continuously be complimented in tandem with their development while in and throughout their schooling age.
With lesser contact-time at home, and inadequate mentoring & monitoring Islamically by parents, their education becomes “secularized”; children may be left to peers and media influences. Islamic values may began to be subsumed by negative trends and sub-cultures opposed to Islam. Some may begin to have doubts about Islam or even lose their Muslim identity.
At this level, our young may become more independent (less attached to family influence); their idealism may lead them to ‘try out’, to adapt and adopt values alien to Islam itself.Serious crisis of identity usually occur at this stage – usually when they become ‘worldly-wise’ but unfortunately their knowledge of Islam stagnates at “kindergarten or primary” level.

No, if approach to learning Islam merely as subjects to be learnt rather than a lifestyle and character building.
No, if parents merely delegate tasks to teachers without they themselves participating in child’s holistic development, and providing good role models.

No, when learning does not conform to its systematic ways according to tradition – fardh ‘ayn before kifaayah; and to begin with eclectic before specialization
No, when their identity as Muslims allowed to be eroded by other values and “idols” as role models.”
