Imam Ali (a.s):
“Knowledge in childhood is like engraving on a stone.”

Parents hold enormous leverage in terms of what they teach their children and accordingly how their children grow up as adults. Islam, therefore, hold parents responsible for steering their children’s upbringing according to the Islamic guidelines. The Almighty Allah states in the Holy Qur’an about the need to raise families in the light of their end destination: “O you who believe! Ward off yourselves and your families against a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones.” (66:6)

To assist parents in providing Islamic education to their children the Imam Husain Islamic Centre is running an Islamic school on Saturday afternoons for children between the ages of six and fifteen in five levels. The main subjects include ‘reading the holy Qur’an’, ‘Islamic beliefs’, ‘Ethics and Morality’, ‘Islamic history and the biography of Ahlul-Bayt (a.s), and ‘Practical laws of Islam’.
