Love of Knowledge is missing from our culture. We are materialistic and only value that knowledge which will increase our dunya, our status. Parents are interested in making money, name and fame...children are the same...forcing them to attend a Islamic school usually back fires. Having a TV and all sorts of other influences in the home puts all sorts of 'crazy' ideas into children, expecting them to be good Muslims after being exposed to this is going to lead to disappointment. Knowledge should be a passion.

Recently , some relatives living in the UK told me some sad anecdotes of madrasah graduates.

Those graduates are not interested in the Islamic activities as expected. Now those frustrated parents have told my close relatives not to send their kids to the madrasah any more.

I think that something is wrong about some madarasah in the UK.
However, this issue of failure is also present in some Islamic schools in the UK.
Parents expected that those schools would save their kids from the bad influence of
the surrounding culture . But, in reality , the outcome is different. The high school graduates are also attracted to the sinful culture of sex, music and "be cool "

What is the reason ? Do you have any answer ?
