2 minute read
Bismillah: As we continue our journey with Iqrasaurus, one of our most important missions is integrating Islamic values with modern educational practices. We believe that faith and contemporary knowledge should go hand in hand, providing children with a balanced, holistic education that prepares them for success in both this world and the hereafter. π
Why Integration Matters π±
- Faith-Driven Learning: At Iqrasaurus, we ensure that every educational tool and activity is rooted in Islamic principles. This approach allows children to see the world through the lens of their faith, helping them understand that their religion is relevant in every aspect of lifeβfrom science and history to art and literature.
- Bridging Gaps: Modern education often emphasizes critical thinking, creativity, and global awareness. By integrating these elements with Quranic teachings, we provide a well-rounded education that empowers children to thrive in diverse environments while staying true to their Islamic identity. π
- Preparing for the Future: Our integrated approach not only equips children with academic knowledge but also instills moral and ethical values that will guide them throughout their lives. This combination is essential for raising well-rounded individuals who are both knowledgeable and compassionate. β€οΈ
One memorable example of this integration was when our children explored the scientific miracles in the Quran, connecting their religious teachings with modern scientific discoveries. This approach sparked their curiosity and deepened their understanding of how faith and science complement each other. π
Continuing to Integrate with Iqrasaurus π¦
This phase of our journey highlights the Integrate pillar, as we continue to merge Islamic values with modern education. Our goal is to provide children with an education that not only excels academically but also strengthens their faith.
As Allah says in the Quran:
"And say, 'My Lord, increase me in knowledge.'" (Surah Taha, 20:114) π
This verse reminds us of the importance of seeking knowledge and ensuring that it aligns with our faith.
A Peek Into Our Conversations π¨οΈ
Nurin: "Ummi, how can we learn about the world and the Quran at the same time?"
Ummi Ziehan: "By understanding that the Quran guides us in everything, even in learning about the world. We can always find ways to connect our faith with what we study."
Syauqi: "So, everything we learn can be linked to Allah?"
Daddy Ikram: "Exactly, Syauqi. When we learn, weβre also discovering more about Allahβs creation, and that makes our learning even more special."
End Note: Integrating Islamic values with modern education is key to raising knowledgeable, faith-driven individuals. Join us next time as we delve into how our creative learning methods continue to evolve and inspire the next generation. ππ
