A child’s religious and moral development is highly dependent on the environment that he/she is in and on the observation of things happening around him/her. The most versatile ground for implementation and practice of whatever a child learns at Madrasah is no place but home.

If a child’s finds him/her self in an environment where the moral principles of Islam are being violated, or the child is discouraged from practising what he/she has learnt, the child becomes confused, and in many cases, will disregard, or view as inferior, the beliefs and tenants of Islam. In this way, without realising the consequences, we become the greatest obstacle in the path of religious and spiritual success of our children.

Each and every parent is humbly requested to consider and observe the Rules and Regulations of Madrasah, giving them the due consideration and value, they deserve, so that we are seen to be the protectors of faith by our children and not its adversaries.

We hope and pray that you will understand the importance of this issue and work hand in hand with us to create a prosperous, modest and religious future of our children.

 

  1.  To treat each individual child as our own.
  2. To provide the best religious spiritual and moral education to each child, within the limited time that we have with them.

These objectives can only be fully accomplished if there is a mutual understanding of responsibility and cooperation between teachers, parents and children alike.

In order to provide our children with good Islamic Education and to give them a strong and firm basis for their Islamic development, some Rules and Guidelines have been formulated. This will greatly assist us to improve the discipline and level of education in the Madrasah
