The Importance of Islamic Education for a Muslim
Individual
From the very beginning, it has been considered important for any Muslim man or woman to seek knowledge as it is a form of sacred duty.
In order for anyone to become a true Muslim, he or she should seek knowledge and develop his/her mind and soul in the right manner.
However, with hundreds of years of colonialism, old monarchy and ideological oppression within Muslim communities have led to a spiritual and moralistic degeneration of Muslim communities in all parts of the world. In order to recover the lost glory of Muslim worldview and get rid the ill effects of such degeneration, it has become necessary at this point of time to restructure the educational policies of Muslim people along Islamic principles as declared in the Holy Book of Quran.
The men and women of today in the Muslim world need a form of Islamic education that will ultimately make them the leading torch bearers of Islamic ideas and principles both in present and future.
It is considered that the whole structure of Muslim education system needs to be transformed and it is going to serve as a basis for the fulfillment of all temporary and spiritual obligations that people of this community are going to face.
What is now needed is the strength within Muslim education that is going to produce leading professionals in all sections of human life, be it science, philosophy, economy, law, politics or media.
The Muslim experts who will be operating in different fields of knowledge are going to rebuild the social system in accordance with tenets prescribed by Islam.
In order for a person to live his or her life fully in accordance of the principles of Qu’ran and have a fulfilling existence, it is necessary that the person has the best Islamic education to start with that in turn can imbibe the Islamic values firmly in his or her heart.
For this reason, it is necessary to be a part of an Islamic school like Jamea Al Kauthar from the start that can foster positive Islamic education. A person is not a Muslim simply because he or she is born in a Muslim family, but because of the Islamic education that he or she receives.
It is only by receiving a proper Islamic education that he or she can become a true Muslim. Hence knowledge is the only way by which a person becomes a true Muslim.
Without acquiring the right kind of knowledge, it would never be possible to develop a correct relationship with God or the Almighty.
When a person is fuelled from within through sound knowledge, then he or she can bring light to the darkness and remove all ignorance that can lead to difficulties and problems associated with our practical and spiritual lives.
