In this study, "religious education" refers to all forms and areas of deliberate teaching, learning and educating processes for religion in a bid to enable trainees to learn the religion and have faith in its doctrines and adhere to its teachings in practice. On this basis, religious education is the central and most important component of Islamic tarbiyyah and education. It is so important that Islamic education without it will not be materialized and implemented in the real sense.
In a religious education, the instructor can benefit from various methods to educate people one of which is force or coercion. According to this method, trainees are forced to accept the religion, increase their conviction and faith and carry out religious instructions. Perhaps, it might appear in the beginning that the instructors do not have the right to compel other people to accept the religion and or perform practical obligations such as prayer but in reality religion is something that cannot be accepted through compulsion and coercion. Therefore, an important question arising here is whether or not the instructors are allowed to force and coerce the trainees in religious education.

Teaching and learning have been highly emphasized by Islam while ignorance and superstition have been strongly condemned. Seeking knowledge is a duty of every Muslim man and Muslim woman. Some forms of knowledge include magic and occult sciences and arts which some people learn despite them being complex and having negative influences. This issue can be studied from different angles and from the perspectives of various sciences including jurisprudence. The focal question is: Does the Islamic recommendation about seeking knowledge also include magic? Or is it that knowledge of magic is not included in the category of sciences? This article seeks to address this question from the perspectives of different scholars. Some are of the view that teaching and learning magic are forbidden under all circumstances, others are of the view that they are allowed under specific conditions. Thus, the principal ruling about magic is that it is forbidden to teach and learn magic except in cases when one embarks on terminating a magic spell or defending himself against. It would not be, by extension, forbidden in an absolute sense.
If magic is proved to be forbidden, it would be forbidden to spread and promote it because not only it will be disregard to Shari’ah but it will cause evil to be disseminated.

Cultural jihad (struggle) in a Muslim society begins at home. The parents being the first trainers of every human being play a very crucial role in mental peace and creating a healthy society. One of the most important aspects of cultural invasion of the west is to destabilize the family which will finally result in the apathy and egotism of human beings. Thus, understanding the correct methods of emotional education of children and implementing them in the family have a direct impact in aborting the cultural invasion of the west. Although there are written efforts with a descriptive approach to explain emotional education, the jurisprudential prescriptive dos and donts appertaining to emotional education have been neglected and overlooked. In this study, efforts have been made to make use of general rules of education as the definite pedagogical principles and methods in religious texts to extract, with reliance of ijtihadi method, the imperatives of emotional education of children. Based on this research, among the positive actions which parents should take, is to show love to their children, treat them, especially their daughters, with dignity and compassion. They should not discriminate between their kids, nor should they hurt or torment them psychologically and corporeally.
