The Importance of Education in Islam

What is knowledge?Knowledge is tye gaining of thought,memories,ideas.Knowledge can bring many good qualities ,which are somewhat beneficial ,but what happens when we lust for Knowledge.That is when it becomes a problem because you might create or make sonething you might regret,it can destroy any ethnic or moral value,and it make you look like a crazy person.These qualities lead you and/or other people to death.

Muslims have made many contributions to Western Education that has gone unrecognized due to religious prejudice, language barriers and decline of Islamic Culture and the distance of historic materials for

Knowledge is one of the most important parts of human life. Without it, we would be blind to many parts of life and we may be put in danger by things we don’t know about. Imagine that you didn’t know you could die by fire, and you decided to jump into one. You’d be dead, because you didn’t have the knowledge to know that you shouldn’t jump in the fire, due to it being able to kill you. Another thing is that knowledge is our most powerful weapon. Without it, we would be unarmed and be at a disadvantage. We would also be prone to being taken advantage of and mistreated, and we wouldn’t have anything to fight back with. It’s like in today’s modern world: if you don’t have proper knowledge, people will take advantage of you and sometimes they may

Knowledge is the beginning of wisdom. Knowledge is a gift from God. Knowledge is God, God is a someone, not a something. Full knowledge concerning God can’t be explained.

I belief that saying that a person can be taught to have knowledge is the same as saying a person who already beliefs in a topic or subject has a opinion. Which we know that opinion can be taught, but so can knowledge because you are teaching an opinion that soon will become a piece of information in a person's mind and that is what the definition is for knowledge. In other words, by learning an Opinion then they also will be receiving knowledge. Again like Socrates explains what Daedalus had told him about how we all will always have knowledge but our true opinion can be lost and maybe never be thought again. For a true opinion to stay in our minds we need to practice and think about the idea or a fact and turn it into an argument.

There is something powerful about knowledge. Knowledge makes one know things that they did not know before. It helps them gain insight about issues that are seen in the world. It opens up eyes to see things through a different perspective, a perspective that they never thought of or seen without getting a gaining an understanding of that certain type of knowledge. Knowledge helps one make decisions and how to handle certain situations. Knowledge allows one to succeed in school and get acceptable grades, discern what is right and wrong, and leads to wisdom. When knowledge is limited; children and society are being naïve and lazy, people are not able to express the freedom of speech that is possible in this nation, and it ruins countries.

Knowledge is a powerful tool, one which will unlock many doors for us as individuals and as the whole of the human race, but we must always remember the consequences of gaining knowledge. It is both our blessing and our curse, and we must never forget that knowledge is a power, what we do with that power will determine our fate and

There are two contradictory phrases that are both very common and accessible by people of all races, social statuses, ages, and backgrounds: “knowledge is power” and “ignorance is bliss”. Both are very relatable: “knowledge” can refer to common sense, street smarts, book smarts, etc., while “ignorance” can be pure lack of knowledge, choosing to ignore certain facts, being taught unknowledgeable things, etc. While both of these ideas are valid -- in certain situations, ignorance can be better than knowledge and vice versa -- for the most part, knowledge is more of an advantage than ignorance.

Education and religion is something everyone needs to be introduced to as it will help to make this world a more successful and better place. It is critical for children to have a belief inn something while they grow up. It gives them hope and dreams which gives them bliss and joy in return. In order to stop all the judgement on racism, cultures, social class, sexuality and gender more people need to realize the sole purpose of life and that can be achieved through education and religion.

Albert Einstein once said “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So is a lot.” Knowledge can be good because it makes one successful. Then, it can also be very bad such as a criminal being too smart for the police, he or she can keep committing crime. Too much knowledge is dangerous because it may harm many, which means that many die or get scarred for life because of one simple guy with an excess of knowledge.

“Although our number is very similar to those of Jewish people in this country, we have no comparison in strength in terms of economic, political and educational strength. We do not have any Congressmen or Senators. We do not control university boards or faculties. We do not have a single factory or financial institution, which is able to employ Muslims in large numbers. Therefore, we cannot judge the future of Islam by looking at the number of Muslims praying on earth or attending the conventions and bazaars of ISNA. There have to be deeper indicators of our strength” (Athar, 2008).

It explains the reality of life, the good and evil, the lawful and unlawful, the righteousness and unrighteous, moral teachings and all other aspects of life. The holy Quran also provides detailed information about the life in the hereafter and discusses its importance very effectively. The holy Quran impacts basic teachings about man’s individual and collective life, his rights and duties in society and his economic matters. It also educates man comprehensively in the fields of politics and international affairs and morality. In short, holy Quran is a treasure of information and guidance covering all the aspects of human life. It elaborately explains all the things which a common man must know and there is no other source for him to get the required knowledge (Rahman, Fazlur

Although Islam is the second largest religion in the world with a following of 1.8 billion followers, no other religion has faced more scrutiny and hardship in the past decades. This has been caused by media and governments labeling Islam as a whole with their extremist groups like Al Queda and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. I even thought that the principals held by these extremist group were more common in Islam than they are. After studying Islam and gaining more information I came to respect this religion more than any other we studied this semester because of its seriousness and unity. The Quran and Hadith provide concrete details and instructions to follow in the faith of Islam. No texts from any other religion are as upfront with their beliefs than these. Muhammad was and continues to be a powerful and understanding leader that has led it to becoming the world’s fastest growing religion. I enjoyed studying the powerfulness of Muhammad and the direct voice of God in the Quran that is sets Islam apart from Judaism and Christianity.
