Teaching Children: A Moral, Spiritual, and Holistic Approach to Educational Development, written by Ann El-Moslimany, explores education from the following point of views:
  • Essential principles of Tawhid (Humanity, Knowledge and Oneness of God)
  • Fitrah (Concept of human nature)
  • Role of Humans as representatives of God on earth (Stewardship and responsibility)
According to the author, our present education system is backdated--a hundred years or more--and it desperately needs a reboot. Our education system itself is a factory while developing the industrialized society, and as a result, students merely regurgitate facts and are becoming cogs in the machine of the wider industrial complex. Furthermore, a soulless (yet functional) education system is gradually building up, which fails to develop students to meet their present as well as future needs and expectations. In the end, this failure inevitably has had an impact on our society and humanity. Only the sum of human knowledge is now freely available via the internet, whereas our society has long since moved beyond the industrial revolution and into an era of the global network. Considering the above-mentioned facts, our education system needs an effective, holistic, educational philosophy to infuse it with full spiritual meaning so that all children learn. It is designed to equip children with spiritual awareness, social responsibility and accountability, morals and values, self-discipline and self-determination, self-confidence and empowerment, aspiration and ambition tempered with thoughtfulness and gratitude.
