How do I support my child in the new academic year?

Muhamed Saeed children for the new academic year is to ensure that they are spiritually and emotionally ready for the challenges ahead.

As the new academic gets underway, parents across the nation are gearing up to help their children prepare for the school year ahead. For Muslim parents, this preparation takes on an added dimension, as they strive to ensure that their children’s academic pursuits align with their faith and values.

There are several ways that Muslim parents can prepare their children for the new academic year to ensure worldly and spiritual success. One of the most important is to instill in them a love of learning and a desire to seek knowledge.

In Islam, seeking knowledge is considered a re- ligious obligation, and Mus- lim children are encouraged to pursue academic excellence as a means of serving Allah and benefiting society.

Parents can also encourage their children to set goals for the new school year and to develop a plan to achieve those goals. This not only helps children stay focused and motivated, but also teaches them the importance of taking responsibility for their own success and taking action to achieve their aspirations.

Another important aspect of preparing growth, character and transformation.

This can involve incorporating Salah and Quranic study into their daily routine, as well as fostering a sense of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity.

Muslim parents can also play a role in helping their children navigate the challenges of social interaction at school, especially if your child does not attend an Islamic School.

By teaching children to be confident in their identity and to treat others with kindness and respect, parents can help their children build strong relationships and create a positive impact in their school communities as a representative of Islam.

Ultimately, the key to preparing children for the new academic year is to ensure that they are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and values that will help them succeed both academically and spiritually. By prioritising these aspects of their children’s education, parents can help their children achieve success in this life and the hereafter.

All the best to our young learners in 2023, I pray for your ongoing success and benefit to our community.
