Designing a Model of Religious and Moral Education of Children in the Period of SIADAT (The First Seven Years) Based on Islamic Teachings

Islam is the only religion that can bring man to ultimate perfection and complete happiness. Modeling, which is especially important in Islam, is a good way to educate human beings and achieve these sublime goals. This research seeks to answer these questions: How to design a model of religious and moral education of children in the period of SIADAT based on Islamic teachings? What are the appropriate doctrinal and moral educational models for the child in the first seven years in Islam?

The verses of the Holy Quran, the narrations and biography of the infallible Imams (PBUT) as well as the authoritative religious books have been considered as a statistical community and the verses and hadiths related to raising a child that the researcher has had the scientific ability and position to achieve have been identified and studied as a statistical sample. Data were collected using note-taking sheets and analyzed qualitatively.

The results obtained from the research show that educators and parents need to pay attention to use Islamic educational methods to educate children in the period of SIADAT (first seven years) and to the issue of modeling with various methods that exist in the Qur'an and the biography of the Infallibles, including imitation of adults, greetings, practical invitations, keeping promises, being kind to children, and obeying God's commands.
