00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			attending a conference
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			at the conference,
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42
			association of Muslims, the first national conference on Islamic studies
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:44
			to achieve
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:50
			the exchanging notes, Islamic Studies in high
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:57
			school and Muslim school is made up of too much of the Muslim
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			ban, but is actually selling
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			the fact that it is a Muslim school. So
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:12
			how to improve the Islamic section of it and how to integrate it
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			just
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:24
			broken away for this particular program, inshallah.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			inshallah,
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			in the context of the conference,
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:54
			different parties that we speak to, that I've spoken about,
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			starting from the administration, the management,
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			the founders of the school, and so on,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			and laid the foundations and the need to have had rules and regulations that
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:16
			we're trying to achieve, can be the parents who are setting their children to these particular
schools, we
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			need to answer the question why
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			children to a Muslim school
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			choice, you know, why would they do that, and
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			they are on the same boat.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			Many
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			teachers who need to
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			teach,
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:39
			teaching and
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:41
			study,
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			to know, schools.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:52
			People send their children to these schools, and if people wanted only the secular
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:59
			schools to send the children to, but if people realize that
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:06
			Muslim teachers because of the shortage of teachers realize that
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:22
			reason why the schools in effect, this is for the Muslim, when they should be governed by certain
rules and regulations, they should attend to challenges in this specific manner. And then you have
the
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			parents and other teachers,
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			as well, they also need to be on the same boat. And if you have
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:43
			a lot of success and difficulties and the challenges are such that we're not some people another
direction. Sometimes the founders of the school, or should I say the management seems to
		
00:03:45 --> 00:04:06
			establishment of the school have actually fought, and therefore we compromise a little bit of what
we're not supposed to be compromising. Because of that, you know, sometimes we have parents who send
their children to Muslim schools initially. But once you send your child to a Muslim school, you
don't have to worry about the Islam, that your child will come up to person and so on.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:31
			We need to know that as a Muslim, you also need to be exemplary, you also need to be on time, you
also need to move your life in order to show the child that you have had. This is our primary life
when people send their children to Muslim schools that are not a Muslim.
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			So what happened was
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			the chance to come out and witness and
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			to be on board and everybody needs to
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:59
			know discussing the challenges facing the teachers and principals to be the principal patient as
well and facing the school itself. Personally and
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			I've already pre prescribed and I think they have agreed
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:06
			soon, but to be able
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			to possibly even have
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:25
			the parents who are sending their children to the school as to what is expected of them. But
typically, if you're going to a private school as a non Muslim school, and your child has been
banned or suspended, we will go
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			to administration.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			At some point
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			when it comes to a Muslim school and your child has been round,
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:40
			up and burned,
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:50
			on the ground, to hide away from it, and to shy away from it. For this reason, we find
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:55
			the discipline, sometimes it's found one thing on these Muslim schools,
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			everyone
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			has a parent who is possibly heard and the teacher
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			and everyone has
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			come to a Muslim school,
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
			uniform
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			or private school, you won't even look at
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			a piece of rubber to hold the socket.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:27
			And this is the type of attitude, if you look at the private schools,
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:42
			a lot of them are giving importance to academics. Today, I think a lot of the private schools, the
elite schools have a preference for sports than anything else. So the time the changes, we don't
want that to happen to the Muslim schools.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:49
			And no preference to secondary education
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57
			is extremely important. undermining the
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			cost of identity,
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:06
			not at the cost of your Islamic values and morals, not at the cost of your
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:24
			entire religion. And this is the reason why this whole concept came alive these scores came about
because it was a concern about our children going out and studying in schools were being
compromised.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:28
			Some people believe that a Muslim school is that
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:35
			you start off in the middle, and you end up with a bra. And you know, you probably
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:39
			have a scarf on your head and maybe even
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:51
			you'd like to call it that is not only what makes a Muslim school, the dress code should be correct,
agreed, without any doubt that it
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			should be an Islamic identity
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			child
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:05
			child to misconstrue and picking them up with music playing
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			around in the vehicle and so on,
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			and so forth something from the school.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:18
			And the parents are so responsible that they don't understand.
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			Central African time, of course, we're talking about the Muslim schools,
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:30
			you as a parent
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:40
			in the context
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:45
			of the continent,
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			Africa and in other countries,
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			those who have achieved those
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:03
			systems most
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:08
			Muslim schools and so on.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:22
			That is our results and our discipline and so on. A lot of people burn the school to discipline and
let's go let's go to the root of it, you know, troubled by some of the things that are happening.
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:28
			People were not looking at the root of it and what caused it and can solve it.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:38
			At the root treatment plan, you don't just do the cost because you know, you need to solve the
crisis on the bottom so that it doesn't ever again and so on.
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:52
			And if we are going to go back to the root of the problem and we're going to solve the root of the
problem inshallah, we will be able to develop discipline and have an attitude and
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			not be compromised on top of
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			We are over and above that the discipline must be compromised.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:12
			Sometimes, in the Muslim school, people are not so serious.
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:21
			Sometimes, sometimes the teachers might not be so serious, you know, people come in and go and so
on. So we need to
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			make it so
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:43
			that you can actually be consumed and taken by the child, and the parent wants to be on the board.
Definitely, definitely room for improvement. But to be honest, a lot of the schools are doing
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			really well. And
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			I would prefer to have a child who has
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:54
			possibly
		
00:10:55 --> 00:11:01
			students, our students will notice they're the subject or two and repeated mochica maybe the second
time around.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:05
			To them conduct is
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:09
			meant to have a child who's passed with flying colors in their character
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			which means it is a bad thing
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16
			flying colors
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			having a child with
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:21
			a
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			17 day pregnant
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:26
			and because
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:40
			we need to face reality, and we need to find solutions, we need to instill responsibility within the
children that will not happen if the parents are not responsible. So this is something that we
inshallah
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			the conference of
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:47
			Mashallah people are taking seriously
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			and so on. A lot of people
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:58
			in preparation, and the the subject matter is powerful.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:05
			And presentations are second to none.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			Leaders on the globe.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			And we have done a lot
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:18
			and that
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			goes to show how successful
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29
			association of Muslim schools
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			witness success at this conference
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:53
			about the Association of missing schools, and we'll conference first one actually what's taking
place
