Thats My School

[Traveler]

A father having a hard time trying to convince his son to study,
and the son says:
I don’t want to study, I have learned already!
The father replies:
Steady steady! 7th grade and bored already?
The son: yes, I have learned so plenty, even if I’m still not twenty, I can speak some Hindi, trying to figure out a bit of Sindhi, and Spanish also, isn’t it Caliente1 ? Sensei2?
The father: Sensei? I think he’s losing his senses, from many things and the rising expenses.
The son: I know the stocks went up! And our funds went down. We can’t buy and sell; I think we should get out of the town!
The father: what? My house is on lease and we can’t leave it with peace, if we left it in a sudden, they’ll call the police.
The son: we can dodge them, and loose them, or simply run over them.
The father: whoa! Were not criminals, and that’s really impossible.
The son: then …
The father: stop diverting the subjects! And study your required subjects! And don’t you ever object!
The son: I’m not a fool, I got another school.
The father: and where is that one? Tell me son!
The son: our favorite tool, is my favorite school, look ahead of you and me, it’s the one only T.V.!

Bismillahi ar-Rahman ar-Raheem:

Allah the Most High said,

ولقد سيرنا القرآن للذكر فهل من مدكر
“And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)?” 54:17

Othman Ibn Affan – may Allah be pleased with him - narrated that the Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him – said,
(The best among you is the one learns the Quran and teaches it) reported by al-Bukhari

Also, there’s a well known story about a man who came to Omar Ibn Al-Khattab - may Allah be pleased with him – and was complaining about the undutifulness of his son, so Omar fetched the son and chided him for his undutifulness towards his father, and leaving his rights, the son said: O Amir al-Mu’mineen, does the father have rights towards his son? He said: Yes, the son said: then what are those rights O Amir al-Mu’mineen? Omar said: to select his mother (with good qualities), choose a nice name for him, and teaches him the Quran. The son said: O Amir al-Mu’mineen, my father didn’t do a single thing from that; my mother was a slave for a magus, and he named me Ju’la (which means beetle), and he didn’t teach me a single letter from the Quran. Omar turned his face towards his father and said: hey you! You showed him undutifulness before he did.

Since not teaching the Quran to our children is considered as an undutiful act towards them, then what we should say about teaching them things that are against the Quran and the Islamic law?

Think about it...

Still though there is an alternative, there are many centers for memorizing the Quran
