Islamic education has historically been dry, unexciting and a means to an end to get our children knowledgeable and informed on our deen.

But what can we learn from recent innovators, media and Western programmes for children that utilise more interactive and engagement approaches to teaching and learning? And how can we incorporate these into our materials for better effects?

In this episode, host Zainab speak to Lamise, founder of Messenger Magazine about this topic, her inspiring journey and commitment to children's educations and her tips on getting better results and less push back from children as they learn and even get excited about learning.

Young people have always been at the forefront of social movements, demanding change and making noise to achieve a better, more just and sustainable world for us all. Their conviction, passion and risk taking can inspire and worry us at the same time! But how do we support this beautiful phase as parents so we can guide our teens with wisdom without quashing their fierceness and drive?

In this episode, host Zainab speaks to Shaheen Merali, author, certified parenting instructor and mother of teens for her thoughts and tips on this very topic. A truly unmissable conversation.
