Islam is the religion of peace, and it is one of the most sacred and trustworthy religions, which has given us guidance in all aspects of life. Islam has given us an education with knowledge that has no limits. The Holy Quran is the holiest book of Allah revealed upon the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), for the uplifting guidance and enriched messages for mankind.
Education is the knowledge of putting one’s potentials to maximum use. Without education, no one can find the right path in this world.
This importance of education is basically due to two reasons. Education makes a man a straight thinker. Without education, no one can think correctly in an appropriate context for you. It tells man how to think and how to make decisions. The second reason for the importance of education is that only by attaining education, man can receive information from the outside world. It is well said that
“Without education, a man is like in a closed room and with education he is in a room with all the windows open to the outside world.”
That is why Islam attaches so much importance to knowledge and education. When the Qur’an began to be revealed, the first word of its first verse was ‘Iqra’, meaning read…
The thoughtful book of the Holy Quran is so rich in content and meaning that if the history of human thought continues forever, it is likely that this book will not be read to the end. Every day he transmits a new message to humanity. Every morning, he gives us thoughtful new insights and pushes us to the boundaries of ethics.
Islamic education is one of the best education systems, which makes an ethically formed person have all the qualities that he should have as a human being. The western world has created a wrong image of Islam in the world. They do not know that our teachings are given directly to us by Allah, who is the creator of this world, through our Prophets.
Muslims all over the world are thirsty for quality education. They know their limits and never try to cross them. It is the West, which has created a hype that Muslims are not on the way to getting a proper education. They think that our education teaches us to fight, weapons, etc., which is very false. This is true that there are certain elements that force an individual to be on the wrong path, because as we mold a child, they will be like that, but it does not mean that our religion teaches us wrong.
Our Holy Prophet (SAW) said,
Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave.

Today Muslims are acquiring good ideas, thoughts, knowledge and skills from all corners of the world. The world moves very fast, and in this industrialized world, it is the duty of teachers to provide quality integrated ethics education to Muslim students around the world, because children are invaluable assets for future generations.
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) encouraged all Muslims to gain knowledge and share it. He said:
“Acquire knowledge, because whoever acquires it in the way of Allah performs an act of mercy; whoever speaks of it, praises the Lord; whoever seeks it, worships Allah; whoever gives instruction in it, bestows alms; and whoever gives it to others, perform an act of devotion to Allah.” (Bukhari, Muslim)
All secular or religious education teachers should pay more attention to students in the classroom. It is necessary that we in the Islamic system consider these dear children as our own children, and put aside all other considerations, and rise above all these things and realize our duty and our mission. We must raise the standards of education and address the needs of these children. We must carry out our duties seriously and awaken to a sense of responsibility. It has been seen that there are certain teachers who are not doing their duty with great interest. I would like to ask all teachers for God’s sake, for their revolutionary duty, to teach children with devotion and dedication.
It is important that we advance our work through discussions, debates, studies and through a proper distribution of work between us.
We must never forget that we live in an Islamic State, and our goal must be to simultaneously create both an independent and an Islamic culture. Independence and richness of content are, in fact, some of the characteristics of Islamic culture. Our system is an ideological system.
We must make our son enthusiastic, dynamic, and this search must permeate all corners of our society. We must aspire to be truthful and sincere.
Sacrifice and generosity, love of freedom, determination to resist and stubborn perseverance, the courage to embrace martyrdom: all these are the new values of the new generation, which must be taught in accordance with the teachings of Islam. .
The doors of the school must always be kept open for the sake of Islam, for the sake of the Muslim Ummah.
