Family First Place for Children Education, Professor Didien Says

Jakarta, March 01 2016/22 Jumada Awwal 1437 (MINA) – Prof. Didien Hafiduddin, a renowned scholar and expert on charity, has said family is the first educational place for children.

Didien made the remarks on a talk show on Islamic family education held to enliven the on-going Islamic Book Fair in Senayan, Jakarta, Monday (21/02).

“Every child born is in a state of fitrah (holy), just how his parents would educate and color it, whether by good or evil” said Prof. Didien.

The second task of parents is to educate their children with Islamic values ​​and good understanding in life, by giving lessons on manners, morals and prepare children to become fighters commanding the good and forbidding the evil.

After education in the family, the second task of parents is to educate their children with Islamic values ​​and good understanding in life, there are good manners, morals and prepare children to become fighter commanding the good and forbidding the evil.

He also said many people are now infected with Schoolism that equate studying means of school, they forgot what exactly the nature of
studying its own. If the child is not attending a formal school means that children do not learn, but when going to school they do not follow the lesson well.

Many parents think entering high school just to get a job. High position is everything, forgetting the importance of science, the science religion and set up an Islamic family.

Actual obligation of parents is not to educate children but to educate children to become the generation that can educate the next generation. (L/Fit/R07)
