Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am a teacher of the Tawhid (the oneness of Allah) subject in the sixth grade of elementary school. What is your advice to me regarding the students so that I can establish the creed in their hearts?
Answer:
As you heard, my brother. First, you must have knowledge of the creed. You must understand the creed in the correct manner. Second, you must focus on clarifying it and conveying it to the students in the sound way. Third, you must explain the Tawhid curriculum that is in their hands, clarifying it and making it clear to them, and you must not leave out any part of it by saying, "This is not important," because, unfortunately,
we hear, or have experienced during our time as students, teachers who divide the curriculum into important and unimportant parts, direct the students to the question centers for the exam, and leave the rest of the book, so the students graduate without understanding the book. So we advise the teacher to fear Allah and to explain the book in its entirety according to his ability and capabilities, to explain it and not divide it into important and unimportant, or cancel out some things. What you canceled out might be the important part, or what you canceled out might be connected, and the thing you focus on is not understood except through what you removed, because knowledge is interconnected, part with part. Yes.
