The education system puts more emphasis on theoretical rather than practical knowledge and needs reforms to improve quality over quantity. Key challenges include lack of will to learn among youth, quality of teaching, reservations, and inadequate infrastructure. College enrollment in India has grown significantly from 2 million in 1970-71 to over 14 million in 2005-06.
English is the most widely spoken language globally and is important for personal and professional success. It is labeled the universal language as it is present in some form in most parts of the world. English remains a major medium of instruction in schools and is necessary for pursuing fields like technology, medicine, and science. It is also the dominant business language and is essential for global careers and international business communication. Those fluent in English can earn up to 34% more than non-English speakers. English has become the primary language of the internet, with over 55% of online content in English. Learning English boosts confidence and expands opportunities for communication, education, and employment worldwide.
Education is important for several reasons. It makes us better citizens by teaching us about our history, culture, and duties. Education also ensures a productive future by increasing our skills and helping us get secure jobs. Additionally, education opens new vistas by expanding our outlook and teaching tolerance of different views. It spreads awareness about our rights and responsibilities and bolsters our confidence by fostering a positive outlook.

The goal of education in Islam is comprehensive, involving teaching not just information but also purifying one's character and teaching wisdom on how to apply knowledge. There are different classifications of knowledge in Islam based on importance, with obligatory knowledge being the most essential. The ultimate goal of education in Islam is to produce individuals who firmly believe in and promote the collective system of Islam, know and please Allah, develop good character, and live a balanced life.

{bit.ly/RSRAs02A} Section A of Chapter 2: Moral Foundations of Knowledge - of Real Statistics: A Radical Approacch. This explains how an Islamic approach to knowledge differs radically from secular modern approaches taught via Western educational systems. There is a pretense to the objectivity of knowledge. In fact, all human knowledge is value-laden, and based on moral foundations. Recognizing this is essential to building a sound base of knowledge. Islamic epistemology furnishes a radical alternatifve theory of knowledge which had been developed over a thousand years in the Islamic intellectual tradition. Some very basic elements of this theory, and its opposition to secular modernity, are presented in this lecture
This document discusses the importance of humility in seeking knowledge and being grateful. It emphasizes that one should continually strive to learn the true value of what they have been given and to not take blessings for granted.

An established problem in the beginning should be resolved by the end. The last sentence should provide a satisfying conclusion. Writers must clearly convey what is happening and what the characters are thinking to the reader. Other tips include varying sentence structure, using dialogue and indirect speech, proofreading, using punctuation correctly, and directly addressing the reader.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Reading Mentioned Twice in the
First 5 Verses!!!
– It emphasizes that we should be real
and prolific readers. The tragedy is
that when it comes to Qur’an:
– They (the others) read to learn; and
– We learn to read (and stop there). We
don’t try to understand the Qur’an!!!

Importance of knowledge in
Islam
–مَي لْائ عِك لْائ لا تنولاُنو أوُنو نَي ذيِك لَّه ولاَي مْائ كُنو نْائ مِك ننولاُنو مَي آ نَي ذيِك لَّه لا هُنو لَّه لال عْائ فَي رْائ يَي

Allah has taught the Prophet pbuh, the
supplication: لماْائ عِك نيِك دْائ زِك بِّ رَي لْائ قُنو وَي
O my Lord! Increase me in knowledge.

Prophet’s roles – The
Comprehensive Education
The verse mentions 4 roles:
• Recite the verses
• Do Tazkiah: Purify their lives (from
negatives) and enhance good qualities
• Teach them the Book
• Teach them the Hikmak
The above 4 are the real areas of
education in Islam. It is not just
delivering information.
11. www.understandqur 11
Information or knowledge or
much more…
– Our condition: “We are drowning in
information and starving for
knowledge.”
– Hikmah is an abundant and huge gift of
Allah. It shows us how to use the
knowledge.

Types of (knowledge)
There are only 2 types of knowledge in
Islam:
1. Beneficial; and 2. Not beneficial
Note the supplications of the Prophet
pbuh:
– عتاًا نتاف متاًا عل أسائلك إني لاللهم (O Allah! I
ask you for the beneficial
knowledge).
– ينفع ل علم من بك أعنوذ إني لاللهم (O
Allah! I take refuge in You from

Classification of (knowledge) in
Islam according to Importance
1. Obligatory ()فرض
2. كفتاية فرض (Obligatory on society)
3. مستحب (Desirable)
4. مبتاح (permissible)
5. مكروه (detested)
6. حرلام (prohibited)
14. www.understandqur 14
1. Obligatory Knowledge
On every Muslim; so that he can live
Islamically. He should know the basics
of:
– Beliefs عقائد
– Worships عبادات
– Dealings معاملت
– Prohibitions which lead to punishments
عقوبات
– Etiquettes of lifeمعاشرت آداب
15. www.understandqur 15
2. Fard Kifayah
In every locality, there has to be a group
which knows these areas otherwise the
whole society will be a sinner.
These are of Two types. Those which are:
– Means to know obligatory knowledge
(Qur’an, Hadith, Fiqh, Arabic, ..). If we
know Qur’an, we can know our creed…
– Essential for a human society to excel
others (Science, Technology, Economics,
Business, Administration, Media…). Our
focus is here, missing the first one!!!
16. www.understandqur 16
Goal of Education in Islam
– Not just to learn for the sake of
learning
– The goal should not to be left on
children. They are too young to come
up with one. You have to help them.
– If you don’t specify the goal, they will
make some mean or cheap goals
17. www.understandqur 17
Allama Iqbal says:
– Knowledge gives power. This power
should be under Deen. Otherwise it is
pure Satanic. A Muslim must Islamize
his knowledge.
18. www.understandqur 18
The Islamic Objectives
1. To produce individuals who believe
firmly in the individual and collective
system of Islam. To protect, practice,
and promote it.
2. To help in knowing Allah and the
ways to please Him using latest
means at his disposal (as a Khalifah).
3. To develop morals by following the
Prophet pbuh (Ta’leem + Tazkiah +
Himkmah)
19. www.understandqur 19
The Islamic Objectives (Contd.)
4. Live a balanced life (spiritual vs
material; self vs society; spending vs
saving; avoiding extremes)
5. To be expert in one’s own field
6. To have a vision and a mission along
with discipline … within the limits
given by Allah.
20. www.understandqur 20
Develop the Educational System
Yourself
– No nation can survive by copying the
Educational system of others
– Russians had developed their own
after communist revolution.
– Even in science, there are facts and
interpretations
– Interpretation depends upon culture
(Ex: Water; Species)
22. www.understandqur 22
Deeni / Madrassa Education.
– Mostly out-of-date with current situation
– Originally designed for producing civil
servants (in Muslim rule); that is why
living in India, you don’t find any
syllabus for Dawah; or how to live and
interact with others in a multi-cultural
society;
– Generates 1000’s of Huffaz but not even
1% know what they have memorized!
– Yes, their contribution is immense.
Especially in the absence of any
23. www.understandqur 23
Secular / School Education
– Has no link with Islamic education.
– A subject (on Islamic Studies) is there
but it is confined mostly to beliefs,
worship, and morals.
– Nothing to do with the concept of
knowledge. Nothing to relate oneself
with other subjects.
24. www.understandqur 24
Secular Education
– Students are taught Science, maths,
social studiens, politics, history, law,
management, economics, etc. etc. but
no where do you see any Islamic
perspective.
– The one who has money and positions
is the successful one (Media, culture)
– Result: The whole life is built along
non-Islamic lines.
25. www.understandqur 25
Current Status
– For masses (of students), this is what
we have
– So, we need to work more to save our
generation
– Especially in the light of TV/Internet
and media onslaught against Islam and
Muslims
26. www.understandqur 26

95% of our Students Study in
Schools
– Do they have a goal of life? It is not a
philosophical question.
– After spending 15, 20 years in
education, if a Muslim does not know
his goal, it is a disaster!!!
– Not just eat, live, and produce children
(just as animals do)
مُ عماَما نْاَع لَما ا لُ كُ أْاَع تَما مماَما كَما نَما لنوُ كُ أْاَع يَما وَما نَما عنوُ تَّع مَما تَما يَما رواُ فَما كَما نَما ذيَِني لَّع واَما

28. www.understandqur 28
Without Goal!!!
– If our educated, leader, cream class
does not have a goal, forget about
others. It is a sign of a dying millat.
– Especially so because this millat is not
based on caste, color, race, or state.
If it looses goal, … forget the future!
29. www.understandqur 29
Secular Education Prepares
Atheists Materialistic Persons!
Examples:
– Science: Anomalous expansion of
water. Not taught: The One Who
created sea creatures created water.
This is not automatic.
– History: Egyptology, the most imp.
subject. Not taught: Why Moosa (A) is
mentioned most in the Qur’an.
– Economics: Not taught: You don’t have
to rely on interest.

When I graduated and went to
the University library…
I could hardly find books written by
Muslims (in almost all sciences).
I could not understand the role of Islam
in history until I read:
– “Islam and the World” by Ml. Abul
Hasan Ali Nadwi
– “Islam and Science” by Ml.
Waheeduddin Khan
– “Hijab” and “Al-Jihad fil Islam” by Ml.
Maudoodi
31. www.understandqur 31
My Goal then was…
– Just to survive or have a good life.
– As far as my role as a Muslim is
concerned: It was limited to praying
Namaz / Salah.
– With time it improved to serve
Muslims.
– Now I know that it should be to serve
humanity, not just Muslims. This is the
way to serve Islam.
– But this teaching simply does not exist
in our educational system!

first group (مْاَع هَِني يْاَع لَما عَما تَما مْاَع عَما نْاَع أَما ) and not
among the last 2.

The Goal…
Who are those (مْاَع هَِني يْاَع لَما عَما تَما مْاَع عَما نْاَع أَما ) :
– Prophets, Truthful, Martyrs, and
Righteous
Let us just take the first group
(Prophets) and the top among them.
Muhammad pbuh.
He followed Allah’s will and became the
Most Successful (a/c to non-Muslims)
He achieved peace and happiness (the
ultimate goal) too.
35. www.understandqur 35
To achieve that goal…
– Do our students ever bother to explore
his Seerah in detail (his faith, his
worshipping style, his time
management, his attitude, his
confidence, his relationship with
others,)
– Nobody tells them, nor prepares them,
nor reminds them, nor gives them a
plan, nor follows up their progress on
this path.
36. www.understandqur 36
The Problem
– We shoot directly into Aakhirah only
– i.e., Pray Salah and you will be
rewarded in Aakhirah
– But Salah has to do with TODAY’S
work too.
– The 5 prayers (+Qur’an study etc) do
not consume even 2 to 3 hours.
– What about the rest of the day? Is it
confined to only behaving well with
others?
37. www.understandqur 37
Imagine …
– A Muslim country of an-‘amta ‘alayhim:
– All Da’ees but beggars in every other
area. No doctors, no engineers, no
technicians, no nurses, no
businessmen, no economists, …. All
these are either Chrisitians, Hindus, or
Buddhists…
– And when some outside power is
unhappy, you can expect a boycott or
an attack which may kill millions (as
has happened to Iraq or Afghanistan).
38. www.understandqur 38
Imagine another case:
– A country/ society with a team of good
Muslims and Da’ees
– They have doctors, researchers,
inventors, scientists, engineers,
technocrats, economists,
businessmen, managers, and all other
experts.
– Each group having very clear about its
vision and mission as a Muslim;
– Excellent interaction between them.
Don’t you think Allah wants such a
39. www.understandqur 39
What after Salah?
– Whatever you do… counts towards
becoming excellent in your field.
– Towards forming that excellent team.
– So, for a student, he has to perform
best in studies (with the right intention)
– He reaches there step by step; day by
day’s work.
– He behaves best with parents,
teachers, friends, etc.
– Uses his time to optimum use.

Current Reality
– No such system exists (in secular and
most Muslim countries)
– Islamic Studies is just one subject in
our schools
– It is the Most neglected, abused, and
last in priority
– No supervision or follow up for it
– Most importantly – Qur’an is missing!
(except for rote memorization of few
Surahs and their translation passages)
46. www.understandqur 46
If we keep Islam as …
– If we keep it as the lowest priority
– Our children will treat Islam as the
lowest priority when they grow up
48. www.understandqur 48
Taleem + Tarbiyah at home too
– Do it at home too. You can’t rely on
school alone
– The parents have to get involved
49. www.understandqur 49
An Appeal
– Try to get understanding of the Qur’an
teaching into curriculum of your school too.
It is the most important subject.
– Almost no school, even Muslim schools teach
it to the full.
– A high school graduate should be able to
understand the full Qur’an and listen to at
least a big book on Hadith (like Riyadhus-
saliheen or Bulooghul Maraam).
– It needs only 200 hours of teaching for adults
and around 300 or little more for students.
