  One
of the problems faced by many Muslim communities in the area
of education are the students and their lack of interest in the
material or curriculum. The reality is that many of our children
are bored at weekend and full-time Islamic schools and this prevents
them from properly absorbing and understanding the knowledge
being conveyed. This is a major issue that must be dealt with
in the most sensitive way. Abdullah Hakim Quick, with years
of experience in the area of Islamic education and social services,
provides possible ways to make the school curriculum practical,
relevant and interesting to the younger generation. This lecture
is essential for all school principals, teachers, imams, youth
group leaders and parents. Other topics discussed: why some
Muslims have negative feelings about Islamic education, how to
get parents involved in the Islamic school, the balance between
love and discipline, teaching our children the Qur'an, weekend
Islamic schools are not enough, using the internet for information,
getting government funding for Islamic schools, and what about
home-schooling?  (Duration: 1 hour, 22 min) Abdullah
Hakim Quick was born in the U.S. and accepted Islam in Canada
in 1970. He pursued his study of Islam at the Islamic University
of Madinah where he graduated and received an ijaza from the
College of Da'wah and Islamic Sciences in 1979.
