Maktab Versus Extramural Activities
Will it be tuition or Maktab?
Will it be an extracurricular activity or Maktab?
This is a difficult choice that has to be made by parents and learners frequently.
We are defined by the choices we make or the choices that are made for us. Every choice we make has a consequence to it. When we choose sports, tuition or extramural activities over our child attending Maktab – we are choosing something temporary over something permanent. The items of this world, the sciences of this world, the pleasures of this world will be left in this world when we enter the grave.
