Welcome to Tarbiya Department
The word "Tarbiya" is an Arabic word that linguistically means the increase, growth, and< loftiness. Conventionally, Tarbiya means the development and the training of people in various aspects. The word is commonly used to describe children upbringing as the parents provide them with physical, educational, moral and spiritual needs to help them grow up and become useful parties in the society.
In MAS terminology, the word means the systematic
development and training of human resources. In MAS,
all members are subject to this
comprehensive way of
development and training in all aspects such as physical, educational, moral, and spiritual aspects. The word Islamic Tarbiya implies that the development process conforms to Islamic guidelines and standards. This means that the goals that the process is supposed to achieve in individuals conform to Islamic teachings and the means used to establish such goals are Islamic or Islamic compliant means. The Tarbiya process exceeds the level of individuals to the level of the group trying to establish team spirit that Islam teaches such as love, brotherhood, and mutual trust.
At MAS, the Tarbiya process is considered the most
important process and the Tarbiya
department is one of
the permanent departments in the organization. This belief traces its origin to the teachings of Prophet Mohamed as he -peace be upon him- invested a lot of effort in leading his companions through the Tarbiya process. As a result of his effort, he not only left a great message, but also left a great generation that carried the message and conveyed it to most of the known world, bringing the light from Islamic teachings to much of humanity. As one great leader, Hassan Al-Banna said, "Whenever you find a good Muslim you find with him all means for great success."
MAS delivers a rigorous educational curriculum to its current and potential members that focuses on the
systematic development of the Muslim individual, the Muslim family and the Muslim community.
