The Editorial of this specialized Quarterly by Tuba Kermani reads as follows:

The children of today are the makers of future and the philosophical and intellectual arms of all people and nations. The quality of their education, training, life skills, and intellectual and spiritual growth today demonstrates the quality of their thoughts and acts tomorrow… In the traditional Islamic books on education we come across a recommendation which sounds very strange: If you wish to have a mentally and physically healthy child, you should not only look after them from the moment they are born, but also pay attention to the moral, ethical, and medical background of your spouse at the moment of choosing them… Given this statement, could we ever claim that each period is separate from its previous periods?
