The answer

No sane person doubts the danger of living in the West to a Muslim's faith and morals. The calamity is even greater in their schools. Therefore, it is advisable to enroll in Islamic schools, as they protect students from the dangers of Western schools, care for religious and moral education, and provide a high academic level, while preparing an upright Muslim generation. A Muslim must strive to escape from lands of disbelief, and if compelled to remain, he must fear Allah concerning himself and his offspring, choosing a righteous dwelling, righteous companions, and an Islamic school that nurtures them upon religion and morals, and he should not pay attention to the words of ill-intentioned individuals. Bearing in mind that an Islamic school alone is not sufficient; the mosque and the home play a fundamental role in comprehensive upbringing. Islamic schools do not lead to isolation; rather, they promote teamwork. Integration into the non-Muslim environment is not purely good; it may be evil. It is essential to protect Muslim adolescents and those younger from corruptive mixing and to avoid places of temptation, while interacting wisely with the righteous community.
