The right to education is of fundamental importance in the rights of children. Generally two trends in this regard are found in Muslim society.

The second trend that is practically prevalent in Muslim society is limited to the secular education of children. Both of these tendencies are a reflection of the one-sidedness that is not in harmony with the teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah, nor does the history of Muslims support it. Both of these trends are a product of the decline of our era, during which, on the one hand, education was limited to traditional religious education in response to external cultural influences.
