CHAPTER ONE: GENERAL INTRODUCTION

1.1       BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Knowledge in its entirety belongs to Allah and man has not been given except a little of it. All praises belong to Allah who taught by the pen, who taught man what he knew not. May the peace and blessings of Allah be on the prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) who made the search for knowledge as a sacred and obligatory duty on the Muslims.

Literally speaking, education is said to be a day to day experience right from the time we are born up to the end of our life.

Islamiyyah schools was introduced not to divert the interest of the Muslims from acquiring of Islamic knowledge nor, drifting away from Islam. The mixing of Islamic religion and other type of education is purely meant to make Muslim children to acquire knowledge in other fields of knowledge such as the sciences which can lead them to acquire professional courses such as, medicine, engineering, etc. it is evident that the huge gap between the Muslims and non-Muslims in sciences and art is because of the insistence of the Muslims teachings, Muslims children only Islamic studies.

Learning the glorious Qur’an is very important, but one also needs to learn other fields that relates to endeavour. Muslim children need to be professionally

1.7       LITERATURE REVIEW

There are some works on the Islamiyya school and Islamic education, but all the work have been specified upon the aspects in which they are based, so far no one wrote on the Sidi Mamman Asarakawa institute for Qur’an and general studies.

One of the work relevant to the research is the glorious Qur’an which is the book of guidance to the Muslims, and is always to be revealed in this work where it (Qur’an) discusses the issue of child up bringing in Islam to enumerate that we should take care of our family and guard them against the hellfire.

O ye who believe save yourselves and your families from a fire whose fuel is men and stone over which are (appreciated) angels stern (and) severe who flinch not from Allah but do (precisely) what they are commanded.1

On the other hand in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, there are numerous

Ahadith of the prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) that talk about the importance of

education and upbringing of children as well it says.

Every child is born as a Muslim, its their parent who made them to be Christian, Jew or Pegan2

Another Hadith said:

The man who bring up two daughter so that they attain maturity will appear at my side on the Day of Judgment as close as my two fingers.3

Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) enjoin the Muslim Ummah to bring their children in

a moral way because this will earn them reward on the Day of Judgment.

George T. Simpson work in (1973) is also important on this research work

because in his work titled “Yoruba religion poetry and medicine) say in response to

education and training of children.

The training of children is not the sole responsibility of the parent alone but it is a concern of the individual and society as well.4

Another relevant material in this research was a write up found in a journal

written by Islamic research institute Islamabad (Pakistan) because it talks about

education in general and the aim and objective of the education. The journal

further discussed how education should cater for the growth of man in all aspects

both individually and collectively.

15


Muhammad Dangana (2009) in his write up focused on Islamic education emergence and development of Islamic education right from the time of the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) to the present generation.5

It can be seen from the above literature review that none of them discussed directly work and need a serious analysis, examination and extension.
