Islamic Education in the West
In this lecture Shaykh Amin Kholwadia defines the Islamic vision of education and then explores the conceptual contrasts between it and western or secular educational concepts. He then resolves the major inconsistencies that usually arise when people try to implement the Islamic vision in a western secular environment, and alerts to what common basic and principal misconceptions on the part of many Muslims compromise the effectiveness of Islamic education in such an environment. The talk runs approximately one hour and six minutes, and was delivered at the Islamic Center of the Eastside in Bellevue, Washington, at the invitation of the Thawr Institute (thawr.org).
