Importance of education in Islam

(Azhar ul haq Wahid, )

Muhammad Waseem
Education is the right of every Muslim, and it is made necessary for every person in Islam. Special emphasis is made on getting education for every Muslim. This education includes both Islamic and technical education conforming to the needs of modern life.

The concept of education in Islam is not only getting decent earnings but practicing it in real life for the betterment of the others. It was as a result of application of knowledge that Muslims were the superpower of the world for twelve centuries.

The base of Islamic education is Qur’an. Quran provides complete way of life to the Muslims and following the teachings of Quran is the real way of eternal success. In the twentieth century, due to colonialism and Western influence, Muslim parents concentrated on imparting only Secular education to their children. The children who were not fond of learning were sent to the Islamic School or Islamic Madrasas. Due to which Muslims kept on getting weaker day by day.

We need to get both Islamic as well as modern scientific education to get our regime back. We need to hold the Islamic values tightly in order to get stronger again. For this purpose an Islamic school of Quran Recitation is established to teach the children Holy Quran. This Islamic School provides online Quran learning by trained Quran tutors.

In the context of Muslim society the teachers has to be a person deeply committed to Islam not only and worldly but also secretly, he must be a virtuous person. A man of piety who consider it his responsibility to train his pupils to be good Muslim above all, that is to say, men and women who will learn the value of the Islamic moral code, who will in their lives live in accordance with the ethic which Quran teacher, whose own conduct will be a pattern that the young can draw upon.
