I understand your point Ahmed.

No you can not catch me on this count that you are mentioning - for others I can not speak. I do not blame the Deen establishment for travels of Ummah. I fact my inclination is the opposite though I would not like this thread to go in that direction. I talk about two streams - religious and secular education. Aim of the former was to protect Islam from oblivion and to cater to the religious requirements of Muslims. They have succeeded. Object of the secular education movement was to cater to the worldly needs of Muslims. They have survived themselves, sorry I happen to fall in that Jumrah, but they have not achieved their goal to any level of success. But this thread is not about that aspect. This thread is about wholesome education for Muslim kids.

So how the two streams of education be integrated so that a child does not feel deprived either way after going through it?

Assalamu alaykum.

It is happening in our city. The schools of secular education (managed by islamic institutions) are offering a scientifically designed deeniyath class (an extra hour). So this extra hour for almost 12 years can help the child to learn about deen.

There are a few pious muslims who withdraw their children from the secular schools and put them in madrasah for 2 years, during this period they continue the secular education through external stream.

There a few young boys who did the Aalim course after their pre-university and rejoined the secular education. So doctors, engineers with certified Aalim graduation.

A part time (weekend) course for working men is offered by Darul uloom Nadwah. We didn't had these opportunities during our younger days.

These are a few exceptional cases.
