Nurturing faith and morality : a broad approach to islamic education for early childhood

Abstract

Islamic teaching for children helps them develop proper values and achieve their full growth through family support. During early childhood many basic moral beliefs and religious practices establish what a child becomes and what they believe in. According to Islamic principles early education builds all aspects of a child's development including their spiritual education. This research studies Islamic early childhood education to show how it follows modern teaching approaches while helping solve modern learning problems. The study combines Islamic teaching insights with modern educational theory plus real-world examples to show how everyone plays part in teaching children proper faith and ethics. This work combines classic Islamic teachings with hands-on learning designs to create a flexible system for religious growth combined with intellectual and social learning. Our results show that teaching Islamic values needs joint efforts between educators and parents who use technology while showing positive examples and telling stories. Our study demonstrates the need to blend traditional faith teaching with modern lesson styles so students become morally excellent and socially engaged learners.
