Definition for Homeschooling

Homeschooling is a method of education through which the parents or a caregiver takes the sole responsibility to oversee the entire education of their children in a personal and direct manner within a home environment. Homeschool parents carefully guide their children through their mental, emotional, and physical development. The parents choose an educational path for their children based on each child’s personality and gifts.  Although the secular studies are the parents or caregivers responsibility, as Muslim homeschoolers we may or may not include the Islamic sciences (recitation, memorization and Islamic education), within our homes but rathar transfer the bulk of this responsibility to another individual or institution due to the sensitive nature of these sciences.

Closing Remarks

The intention is to help our Muslim homeschooling sisters and those sisters who are considering homeschooling as an option. The potential for fitna is a possibility; we must be aware of this.  Please try to keep your hearts clean, we all have flaws and weaknesses.
May Allah protect us from the whispers of the Shaytan. Ameen.
