 Dr.
Yasmeen Qadri, principal of the Muslim Academy of Central Florida
in Orlando, urges the Muslim to take a special interest in education,
as it is the only way of preparing future generations of Muslims
for living productive and successful lives in America. She presents
her model for success that can be applied not only in the area
of education but also in the area of general community affairs
and dilemmas. Dr. Yasmeen reviews the history of education to
see how various philosophies and ideas influenced society. Then
she examines the purpose of the Islamic school with the underlying
message that it's time for the Muslim community to take action
and make a difference, not only for our benefit but for the benefit
of the non-Muslim community as well! A talk not only geared towards
Muslim activists, leaders, and educators but more importantly
towards all Muslim families. |
