As educators, we know the significant impact that any educational system has on it's children. Schools are institutions in which children develop their perspective about themselves, others and the world. Much of this information is conveyed through books. Books are one of the most dominant factors that influence our children's thinking. Therefore, we must develop our own academic books (and curriculum) that deliver to our children academic excellence, as well the lofty morals and culture our religion upholds. As Muslim elders who are obligated to educate our children from an Islamic perspective, we must take advantage of resources developed to further this admirable goal.
