Dear All: Assalaamu Alaikum.

At the end of the day, many of those who study the Qur'an, will cheat others in business; many of those who offer their prayers, bowing in front of their God, will resume severed relations with those around them. Getting our children into "Islamic schools" is possibly something that only puts us at comfort. Something that makes us feel lighter with our responsibilities as caretakers.

You could say that 'chances' are for brighter turnouts, given "Islamic schools", but who is to say which side of the probability line, your or my kid will fall.

This, to me, amounts to saying that someone living in the "Dar ul Imaan" (land of the believers) will make a better Muslim than someone living in the "Dar ul Harb" or "Dar ul Kufr" (land of war/dis-believers) - ("Terms" being borrowed from Mawdudi and Syed Qutb. I would respectfully disagree).

So would those of us living in the West, be willing to shift to an "Islamic" country in lieu of better and purer lives? I don't think many would like to take the plunge.

...just a thought.

Peace!
