Dr M: Use Quran to mould students

We have to go back to the teachings of the Quran to educate the young generation to be successful, says Mahathir.

KUALA LUMPUR: Islamic-based schools in the country also play an important role in moulding a student’s personality, said former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

He said to realise this, teachers at the school should make the Quran as their main reference in disseminating knowledge to their students since the early stage.

“We have to go back to the teachings of the Quran to educate the young generation to be successful.

“If we ignore the Quran and do not understand its content, it can cause us to deviate from the true teachings,” he said in his speech at a dinner yesterday in conjunction with the 15th anniversary of the Malaysian International Islamic School here.

Also present were International Islamic University Malaysia (UIAM) Rais Yatim and its rector, Zaleha Kamaruddin.
