What Islam says about Education
EDUCATION IN THE LIGHT OF ISLAM:
• Read in the name of your Lord who created”
“Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood”
“Read, and your Lord is the most Generous”
“Who taught by the pen”
“Taught man that which he knew not.”(Hazrat Muhammad S.A.W)
• “The most complete gift of God is a life based on knowledge” (Hazrat Ali R.A)
• Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave. (Hazrat Muhammad S.A.W)
Education is the knowledge of putting one's potentials to maximum use. Without education, no one can find the proper right path in this world.
Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) once said: “Seek knowledge even [if it is to be found in a place as distant as China].
At the battle of Badr, in which our beloved Holy Prophet (SAW) gained victory over his foes, seventy people of the enemy rank were taken to prison. These prisoners were literate people. In order to benefit from their education, the Prophet declared that if one prisoner teaches ten Muslim children how to read and write, this will serve as his ransom and he will be set free. This was the first school in the history of Islam established by the Prophet himself with all its teachers being non-Muslims. The Sunnah of the Prophet shows that education is to be received whatever the risk involved.
It is well said:
"Without education, man is as though in a closed room and with education he finds himself in a room with all its windows open towards outside world."
