raise".

Quran and the Hadiths explicitly emphasise the importance of education; in Islam

seeking education is obligatory for every Muslim, male and female. Indeed the acquisition

of knowledge and the use of this knowledge for the betterment of humanity is seen as a

sacred duty for Muslims.

THE USE OF THE KNOWLEDGE

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 dont specify the goal, they will make some mean or cheap goals

Allama Iqbal says:

Knowledge gives power. This power should be under Deen. Otherwise it ispure Satanic. A Muslim must Islamize his knowledge.


17/34

CURRENT SITUATION

We have two streams of education

Deeni / Madrassa Education

Secular / School Education


19/34

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Mostly out-of-date with current situation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 dont find any

syllabus for Dawah; or how to live and interact withothers in a multi-cultural society;

Generates 1000s of Huffaz but not even 1% know what

they have memorized! Yes, their contribution is immense. Especially in the

absence of any alternative


20/34

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.


21/34

SECULAR EDUCATION

Students are taught Science, maths, social studies, 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.


22/34

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


23/34

IMPORTANT FEATURES ISLAMIC EDUCATION - 1

No division between religious and secular.

Up to high school, same syllabus for everyone

All essential subjects will be taught.

Supporting subjects (Maths, Sciences, etc.) will betaught in the spirit of Islam.

A student will look at this world with Islamic vision.


24/34

IMPORTANT FEATURES ISLAMIC

EDUCATION - 2

25/34

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 importantlyQuran is missing! (except for rote

memorization of few Surahs and their translation passages)


26/34

AKBAR ILAHABADI SAID (URDU)

URDU POEM AGAINST WESTERN EDUCATION SYSTEM.

Yon qatl se bachchon ke wo badnaam na hota,Afsoos ke firounko college ki na soojhi,

Pisr mein bu aaye kyonkar Doodh hai dabbey ka aur taleem hai sarkar ki.


27/34

SECULAR EDUCATION PREPARES

ATHEISTS & MATERIALISTIC

PERSONS!

Examples:

Science: Anomalous expansion of water. Not taught: The One Whocreated sea creatures created water. This is not automatic.

History: Egyptology, the most imp. subject. Not taught: Why Musa (A) is

mentioned most in the Quran.

Economics: Not taught: You dont have to rely on interest.


28/34


29/34

MAIN PILLAR OF WESTERN EDUCATION

Knowledge developed in Western education are based by this 4

features:

(i) Metarialism - materialistic (ii) idealism - an attitude that sees something in the form of an idea

(iii) Secularism - reject religious values in human social life

(iv) Rationalism - the belief that reason is the basis of the best in

solving the problem.


30/34

The figure of western education, John Dewey noted that western education is seen

through:

i. From the point of view of society

(community perspective)- Cultural inheritance from the older generation to the younger generation

ii. From the standpoint of the individual

(individual perspective)

- Expansion of the hidden and latent potentials.


31/34

THE STUDENT INVOLVEMENT WITHIN

CLASSROOM ACTIVITY

Western philosophers such as Aristotle, Plato and Socrates encouraged

rational thinking

stress on active learning on their learners

Student appear as active learners in the classroom, as the teaching and

learning process not focusing on teacher-centered, but more on are activelearners in the classroom.

It encourages the students to be active in giving and sharing the ideas, which

is maximizing their role as a students than the teacher in creating the

effective learning and teaching activity

they are very much encouraged to think and voice their views whenever they

are involved in group discussion or carried out the given assignment.


32/34

THE WAYS OF TEACHING PROCESS

roles of students are recognized, by giving them the rights and respects

within the teaching and learning process itself

They have the freedom and rights to take charge of their own learning, as

they are given the opportunity and freedom to manage their own learning

process. the teachers play their role as a facilitator than the knowledge producer to

their students.

Teachers are responsible to help and guide the students in their learning

process rather than teaching them what to do

Teachers of the Western education do play a role in guiding students to

discover and develop their abilities and potentials.


33/34

CONCLUSION

Education from an Islamic perspective in religious

philosophy instill faith of man to God in human form as

a vicegerent on earth.

Education from Western perspectives is not based on

religious but on cultural traditions and responsibility to

learn because the need of a man.
