Our Education System
What
was our education system and where is it going now?
What
steps have been taken to rectify this and what is needed?
History
Islamic
military education
Every
believer who believes in Allah is convinced of His sovereignty and oneness, can
he forget his first lesson "Iqra"? Allah Almighty has placed great
emphasis on the acquisition, publication and practice of education. Allah says
(interpretation of the meaning): “Only those who have knowledge fear Allah.”
Highlighting its importance, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him) said:
Today's
Muslim has forgotten this first lesson of Islam, deviated from its purpose and
its thinking and ideology has weakened, its history has faded in front of it.
English education and culture dominated their minds. However, as long as we
ruled, everyone was able to read, write and understand, and everyone had equal
access to education.
The history
of the subcontinent testifies that most Muslim rulers were interested in
science and literature. His attitude towards education was free and friendly.
Muhammad Ghauri conquered Multan. His friendliness of knowledge can be gauged
from the observation that he gave higher education to his slaves and enlightened
them with the light of knowledge and literature. That is why a slave like
Qutbuddin Abiq, a resourceful ruler and conqueror was born, who laid the
foundation of a stable government in India.
Mahmoud
Ghaznavi's name is very prominent in history. He himself was an expert in
memorizing the Qur'an and hadith and jurisprudence. He authored a book on
authentic jurisprudence. He founded mosques and madrassas and patronized them
himself. He built a high-quality library and collected rare books from afar.
This was the age of knowledge in which there were private libraries of emperors
and scholars and their doors were open to everyone, general and special.
The Muslim
rulers used to fix monthly stipends for teachers so that they could be engaged
in academic and teaching activities and economic weakness could not be an
obstacle for them. Princes and nobles, military officers and nawabs. By naming
the madrassas after their own names, they would bear their own expenses.
Everywhere such an atmosphere of knowledge was common that the teachers,
wherever available, would seat the students and start teaching. Mosques were
centers of worship as well as teaching. Some scholars and teachers would
personally pass on the knowledge to the students and also teach some other
profession of employment. In this way, the teacher-student relationship was
based on sincerity. This relationship was the true figure and example of
literature and respect.
During this
period, education was conducted in three levels. After primary, secondary and
higher, it was considered superior. In the early grades, basic literacy and the
Qur'an were taught. Education was common in Persian and Arabic. In higher
education, only grammar, logic, wisdom, jurisprudence, principles of
jurisprudence, commentary, hadith, theology, rhetoric and mathematics would be
selected from the teachers and they would be engaged in social work.
Women were
also involved in the education process. Arrangements were made for them at
home. The practice of statistics was not common in those days. So it is
difficult to say what the literacy rate was. But the pages of history testify
that education was common. Everyone was able to correspond. It was common
practice to cite hadith in common parlance. After our arrival, the British
gained social, political and cultural domination over us as well as education.
Their claim of education friendship - their place but the facts is something
else. Only these historians can tell us what the literacy rate was before their
arrival and what it was after. The effects of their slavery can still be felt.
And I don't know how long we will endure this!
A Glimpse
Of The Current Cystem
From
engineering to the whole of Sharia
The ups and
downs of human life are a natural process. The more observations a person goes
through in his life, the more he expands his thinking and the depth of his
words. My life is also a link to those observations. I was also trained in a
society where this is what children usually think.So we worked hard and made
our parents' dream come true. After I entered university, we were eager to move
into this new environment. Finally, the day came when we
University
Punch went. Upon entering the gate of the university, the artificial structure
inside looked like a newlywed bride. A tall library building talking to the sky
in front of it, on the steps of which a group of boys and girls were engrossed
in conversations.
They had
come to Carmen Gate. But the fairy scenes on it are more interesting,
refreshing and inspiring for a young person. I wanted to follow the path
towards the paradise of paradise gardens. But not realizing the time, I started
walking towards my department. Outside the classroom, a modern fashion-impaired
couple approached me and their intentions did not seem right. He became so
angry with me that his face was covered with an artificial head. I looked up
and saw that many rivals had grabbed me. Rivals of rivals were always heard on
all sides. They wanted to humiliate the weaker rivals in the name of fouling.
He surrounded his weak rival with an army. Seeing the tragic end of his
superstitious victories, the helpless courage responded. It was clear that even
for a few moments, it is difficult to escape from these senior rivals, except
to give up in this field.
There is no
choice. The seniors were determined to humiliate me. What happened to me after
that can't be put into words. The seniors greeted us in such a way that my boss
did not speak for them. Before the arrival of the teachers, we had endured so
much humiliation that it made us wonder how human beings live in such a holy
place. And thousands of questions began to arise in our minds about their
training - the effect of the mixed education system and the Western mentality
of teachers was that students from rural areas started wearing jeans and came
to class with spike hairstyles that were less educated. And Hollywood heroes
seem to be more. Why not when the mindset of our teachers is judged by the fact
that they used to say that you should call me Mr. Ayaz instead of vinegar and
when you feel bored in class, your girlfriend. Can go with canteen
And I don't
need permission. Therefore, in this environment, the girls 'hall was not
different from the boys’; the girls would come to class as if someone had come
for a shoot. In this context, we only learned that money
How to earn.
As if our goal was only money, bungalow, car and beautiful wife. We took to the
field for this purpose and started making money. But we were not satisfied with
the foundations that were shaken by this Western environment. So we started
searching. The path we saw was all The Sharia was ... After a very difficult
examination phase, Allah included us among the students who were declared
eligible for it. But at the same time, all the breaking news started coming to
my mind that these are the universities of the ignorant. It was weird. In the
name of Allah, when we entered, the senior came and took the luggage, met him
warmly and left the room. Help and support were the blessings of the Qur'an and
Hadith and the effect of the environment full of saints that all the students
who came from the universities. It has been almost seventy years since Pakistan
saw a new color and learned and became a practical example of religion. Can be
made in which all the sciences are combined.
Steps
The need for
a new education system
According to
a survey, the speed at which the world is advancing the stages of knowledge and
research, the breadth and depth of this knowledge and research doubles every
ten years. In an age where different methods, curriculum and institution
building for human education and training are in existence. There are growing
difficulties for religious education. Some of our greats are convinced of
static imitation. Todos want to integrate into the new thinking system. So is
there a need for an internationally accepted curriculum in this modern age? Who
and what steps have been taken for this and what is needed?
Kalita
al-Sharia is the first step towards this destination. The basis of the Shari'ah
is based on the thinking and ideology of our greats, which was not possible at
that time due to the oppression of circumstances, the confusion of ideas and
static imitation. Hazrat Ustad Sahib, Mufti Abdul Rahim Sahib Damat
Barakatham's sincerity, high character and his observation and experience laid
the foundation of an educational movement by adopting this thought and
ideology. Which is a mixture of Aligarh and Deoband. All the scholars who were
not getting the rate on this movement were shown to be practically successful.
Kalita al-Sharia is the most important link in this movement. In which
university graduate four-year Shariah course is taught.
Where there
is an urgent need to acquaint university graduates with Shariah sciences. For
which the whole of Shariah is an important and useful and unique development.
On the other hand, introducing a three-year Shariah diploma and course for
matriculation students is also a matter of urgency. The curriculum should be
designed in a way that is internationally recognized and parallel to secondary
education. The example of technical education is before us. Upon completion of
this, the student should be able to understand Imam and oratory, Qur'anic
teaching and basic issues and be qualified and suitable for higher education in
the university. So that they can express the religion clearly and accurately.
Jamiat-ur-Rasheed,
Karachi is striving to meet this need. He introduced various educational
fields. His breadth of ideas, high character, and maturity in his thinking and
vision can be gauged from the fact that he absorbed people of different
ideologies, who grew up in different cultures. Then the color and thinking of
Jamiat-ur-Rasheed was painted on them. They were molded in the molds of this
movement's vision. Then these students jump into the practical field with their
previous experience and new thinking and vision. Find within yourself the
ability to withstand all kinds of waves in the sea of conditions.
This work
where the utility and goals are very high and lofty. Some necessary steps will
have to be taken to address them. Otherwise, the flower buds will not wither.
This flower garden is deserted
And do not
become a pile of thorns. Enlightened by the light of faith, these voices should
not become a source of lost hearts. ? These people should not become a source
of chaos. These things are very heartfelt but time is of the essence. May Allah
create such people who are religion?
Let's start
by trying to understand and fulfill every need. Amen
