Deeni / Madrassa Education. Mostly out-of-date with current situation Originally designed for producingcivil servants )in Muslim rule(; that is why living in India, you dont find anysyllabus for Dawah; or how to live and interact with others in a multiculturalsociety; Generates 1000s of Huffaz but not even 1% know what they have memorized! www.understandquran.com

Secular / School Education Has no link with Islamic education. A subject )on Islamic Studies( is therebut it is confined mostly to beliefs, worship, and morals. Nothing to do withthe concept of knowledge. Nothing to relate oneself with other subjects.

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.www.understandquran.com

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( www.understandquran.com

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!

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 Quran. Economics: Not taught: You dont have to rely on interest.www.understandquran.com

When I graduated and went to the University libraryI could hardly find books written by Muslims )in almost all sciences(.

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. Thisis the way to serve Islam. But this teaching simply does not exist in our educational system!

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 TODAYS work too. The 5 prayers )+Quran 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 www.understandquran.com

An Appeal Try to get understanding of the Quran teaching into curriculum of your schooltoo. It is the most important subject. Almost no school, even Muslim schoolsteach it to the full. A high school graduate should be able to understand thefull Quran and listen to at least a big book on Hadith )like Riyadhus-saliheenor Bulooghul Maraam(. It needs only 200 hours of teaching for adults and around 300 or little more for students. Visit
