Is it advisable for children to memorize the scholarly texts compiled by Dr. Abdul Mohsen Al-Qasim, or should these be avoided because they contain topics of polytheism (shirk) and disbelief (kufr) that might negatively affect them?
Children should be guided to memorize the Holy Qur’an at an early age, then to seek religious knowledge based on the Qur’an and Sunnah. Memorizing short scholarly texts is beneficial for them and not harmful; rather, it strengthens the aspect of Tawhid (monotheism) and warns against Shirk (polytheism). The Holy Qur’an itself mentions the characteristics of polytheists and warns against them. Preventing children from learning these meanings, under the pretext that they include issues of faith and disbelief, is a false claim.
