The Islamic Leader
How beautiful, exceptional, and open-minded is the remark of the great man of Islam, Imam Ali (Praise be upon him). He said: “educate your children according to the customs of their own time, not yours; because they are born for a time other than yours.”
Please pay attention to the immensity of the remark of this great leader of humanity. This great man did not command you to make your children reactionary so that they regress; because he knew, from his inspirational knowledge, that such a thing is impossible in the realm of nature.
He remarked that you need to take in as much modern science — only that used for the good of humanity — so much so that it is in accord with their time and advance children accordingly.
Why are you not hearing the remarks of such a great leader who was so enlightened 14 centuries ago?
