TEACHING METHODS & TYPES OF LEARNERS

EDUCATION OF THE MUSLIM CHILD This page includes discusses perspectives in education of the child; although we may refer to Islamic and secular education, the reality is that Islamic education includes everything, even what we may now call as "secular"; do you relate of the earlier generations who produced Alims at the masjid, who also were pioneers in their different academic fields (explorers such as Ibn-e- Batutta, etc.)?.

However, the question becomes how early/late they should do this: when is the child formally prepared to start learning about the deen, what kind of info should be taught at what stages and through what methods? ¨ AGE GROUPS & LEARNING: - every child goes through different physical and intellectual stages; therefore, every child is different. However, as general guidelines, we know that small children learn easily by example. They simply love to “copy” their parents. In the beginning years (1 to 4) , parents can teach my making sure that kids learn the “basics” – such as knowing that Allah is One, saying “Bis
