Question:
One of the brothers is asking and says: You spoke a little while ago about the Islamic creed, but he asks: What is our obligation regarding teaching the Islamic creed and clarifying it to our sons and daughters while they are young?

Answer:
Praise be to Allah. The schools are open, and the institutes, colleges, and educational centers all include creed. The first thing, the first lessons, are in creed, after the Book and the Sunnah, creed. They study it in the schools, even in elementary schools, where they are taught the principles of creed and the foundations of creed. Then this education develops gradually until their knowledge of creed becomes complete and grows. Help them; whoever has knowledge should help, and let him memorize the creed for his children, observe them in their lessons, and follow up on their lessons until they understand it. Yes.
