“There is no compulsion in religion. The truth has become clear from falsehood.”
-Surah Al-Baqarah (2:256)

With the new school year coming up in a few short weeks, the things to take care of can feel overwhelming and hard to keep track of, for both children and parents. It may seem like a never-ending cycle of applying for classes, looking for new school supplies, and making sure everything is ready.

Are you a mom thinking about going back to school but feeling unsure if you can pull it off? The short answer is: Yes, you can! Whether your classroom is a university campus, a community center, or online from the comfort of your home, learning is possible at any stage of life.

In hadith qudsi, the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was relayed:

A common concern for many Muslim parents is how to help their children build a strong, lasting relationship with the Quran. For most, the goal is not limited to memorization.
