Why MCECC Sunday School?

 

Educating a child is critical to the development of our future Muslim leadership.  Across America today, we are losing young Muslim leaders.  Muslim children are learning and excelling in academics; but without moral and ethical guidance, they are enlightened but undirected.  Future Muslim leaders need a solid Islamic background, as well as an academic education.

Understanding why we need an Islamic school is the first step.  Now, the Muslim Community must take on the responsibility of nurturing and maintaining the school financially, emotionally and spiritually, for the sake of Allah and our children. 

As prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: “Everyone of you is a caretaker and will be asked about his trust.”

Muslims have a message to deliver.  Delivering that message is our responsibility and failure to do so makes our residence in this country questionable.  That message is to preserve our religion and to call non-Muslims to Islam.

Preserving our religion begins with keeping Islam within ourselves.  Islam teaches us to help those under our guardianship.  In addition, we also have a responsibility to reach others.

Living in America gives us the freedom to express our religion both privately and publicly.  However, it also exposes our children to the ideas and morals of Western Culture.  We must practice our beliefs so that our children can follow us.  By providing an institution where Islamic teaching and Islamic values are paramount, we succeed in supporting and reinforcing the values and morals we teach in our homes.

In an Islamic school environment, our children learn how to act, think, and speak Islamically—with kindness and respect.  Islamic schools address the heart, mind, body and soul of a child.  In addition to that, students also learn Salat, Qur’an, Islamic Studies, Arabic, and obedience to the rules of Islam.
