How IIS School Changes Even the Society - Dr Zakir Naik
Dr. Zakir Naik describes how his IIS school influences not just students but entire families and society. He outlines strict admission conditions requiring daily Quran reading and parental attendance at Islamic lectures. He argues these requirements lead to broader lifestyle changes, including parents reconsidering careers deemed un-Islamic.
Summary
In this clip, Dr. Zakir Naik explains the broader societal impact of the IIS (Islamic International School), emphasizing that its influence extends well beyond the classroom. He begins by noting that the school openly advises parents about businesses or jobs considered haram in Islam, citing working in a bank as a specific example, and encourages them to change their careers even if they still choose to enroll their children.
Dr. Naik then highlights behavioral changes observed in families after enrollment. He shares an anecdote about a husband reporting that his wife stopped watching television and began spending more time with the family, presenting this as a positive outcome of the school's influence on domestic life.
He goes on to detail the school's formal admission conditions, which include a mandatory minimum of 20 minutes of daily family Quran reading with translation, fathers attending school Islamic lectures at least twice a month, and mothers attending once a week. These structured requirements are designed to cultivate an Islamic home environment.
Finally, Dr. Naik describes a ripple effect where siblings and grandparents also become involved and influenced, concluding that the school is effectively a vehicle for transforming the broader society along Islamic lines.
