Ebrahim Bham – Challenges in Education

			Salam
		

			Alaikum the love and Hungary allow you to
		

			be a mother
		

			and my brother Photoville
		

			rajim Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem, he put up this mihrab they can lead a follow up caller calling
inside and out of the crown chakra under the column under Mallinson amalgam Yharnam set up hello
hello.
		

			My dear respected elders and brothers, mothers and sisters in listeners who are listening to the
live broadcast.
		

			We begin by placing Almighty Allah subhanaw taala and sending salutations upon our beloved Livia,
Kareem sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		

			We are all aware that the topic that we have at hand here is an important topic challenges in
education. And today, students, parents all have a great dilemma and have a great concern with
regard to it on one hand, we all would like our children to be educated, but yet there are so many
different challenges we are facing with regard to education. We are here and we you know see on
social media and on other platforms, some of the challenges some of the features, some of the
trials, some of the challenges with regard to education. Now, obviously in a talk like this, we will
not be able to cover every aspect with regard to the challenges of education. However, we will try
		

			to highlight some of the issues and maybe it might be an aspect of continuing the discussion, the
discussion could continue either in another talk or through the means of interaction with the
janitor Alama or people who are in the Tallamy board, and the Educational Department or the janitor
Alama let me start off by saying that the first one that came down from Almighty Allah subhanho wa
Taala to our beloved Nebia, creamy sauce that was an indication to the about the importance of
knowledge if Cara read, it did make mention read in the name of Almighty Allah subhanho wa Taala
which tells us about the objective of education which I will go on to make mention of perhaps
		

			towards the end of the talk. However, because of this, there was an in unprecedented enthusiasm for
knowledge. Firstly, we all know that the time between hazard usually salatu salam and our beloved
maybe acronym SOS is known as fast track there was the greatest amount of time between Ambia there
was no greater time between the prophets. Then there was between the Salem Salatu was Salam and our
beloved cream sauce. Therefore the Quran in the sixth Supatra refers to it as fact that they were
here at a time when what he was stopped for a great amount of time. Wilma says over 600 years. And
then the first worry that came after so many years was to do with education to read. And this
		

			created an unprecedented enthusiasm, some of the incidents that you read in the early stages of
Islam of people, you know, the enthusiasm and the sacrifice for education are amazing. You know, one
of the the incidents was about Osama bin Farrar chronically has stepped in for drama to rally
hearing about the
		

			faith of Imam Muhammad Ali. And his knowledge came to him one day and said, I've come from far to
come and learn some knowledge from you. So Imam Muhammad said nowadays taken I don't have time I got
you know, everything has already been taken. My whole day has been taken. I don't have time to be
able to teach you. I don't have time to be able to give you so when he insisted seeing his
enthusiasm and his sincerity. Imam Muhammad Rahmatullah said see the only time I got available is
when I get up AutoHotKey there is no one with me, you come with whatever you got, whatever Kitab or
whatever you want to learn from me, that time while I am making Uzu and settling myself before I
		

			make my I will teach you a few things whatever you want to learn a certain parameter learning to
say, I used to remain awake all night to read on Musk those few moments that I can gain knowledge
from him upon but this was enthusiasm they had for knowledge. Now
		

			therefore we find that maybe a trim saw Solomon said Tell him forever to Allah Cooley Muslim, the
acquiring of knowledge is a compulsion. It is compulsory to earn to, to learn knowledge and to
acquire knowledge for
		

			Every Muslim.
		

			So therefore, when you say an ignorant Muslim, it's a misnomer. You can't have an ignorant Muslim.
When knowledge is compulsory, you can't have an ignorant Muslim, it doesn't exist. It shouldn't
exist. So someone who say that as a Muslim, we don't know how to read, we don't know how to write.
We don't have knowledge. It's not supposed to be there, because knowledge is compulsory. One
important point that we have to keep in mind that the Sharia had said that
		

			to become an ally, to become well versed in and well grounded in Islamic knowledge, is that communal
obligation is not an individual obligation.
		

			Because let me say that again to become an island well grounded in knowledge is a communal
obligation is not an individual obligation. It's not compulsory for everyone to become an Illumina
Mufti and someone well grounded in Sharia. Therefore, the Torah in the Quran says fanola
		

			Minolta you for Talia to have a COVID deal, that they should be a group amongst you, Lea de facto
who 15 who gain in depth knowledge of the world a young group. And they want the nation when they
come back after they have completed the studies. And they are well grounded.
		

			But it took to become an alibi. If it is in an area and a Region No.
		

			Then the entire community would be blameworthy. So to become someone who is well grounded in Sharia
is a communal obligation. Individual obligation is to know what the Sharia demands from you in any
given occasion. If you are going for Hajj, it is compulsory, and I'm using the word compulsory for
you to know the basic aspects of Hajj, obviously, there's going to be certain things that happened
in hajj, which are out of the ordinary, then you can consult with an alien but at least the basic
Messiah, the basic aesthetic of Hajj is compulsory for you to know. Just recently, I saw a tweet
with regard to an Islamic you know, I think it was a Jimmy tweet, I don't even remember records. But
		

			they said for you when you become when you get married. It's compulsory for you know what is
required from you as a husband or wife in marriage.
		

			Otherwise you can get into marriage, what Islam wants from you with regard to marriage, if you're
going to start up a business in a similar manner. So that is something that is compulsive. Now where
do we learn that? Where do we learn that particular type of knowledge, which tells us about our
individual obligation as far as Sharia is concerned, that is our victims. That's our address as our
primary religious institutions. Therefore my dear respected elders and brothers, this particular
aspect of the mucked up is extremely important. As it more mature normally and vulnerable Hassan
nadwi. Great scholars have laid so much emphasis upon that by saying, See to it that you set up
		

			aggressors, and you set up meetups to teach your children the basic aspects of deed, otherwise risk,
they are apostasy risk them turning away from religion. Allama, Iqbal made a very emotional trip to
Spain in 1932. And, you know, he had many beautiful poems with regard to his time in Spain. And one
of the messages that he gave when he came back from Spain was this, that he said,
		

			There was a certain degree of maybe not showing importance to the bottom and madrasahs before he
left, but when he came back, he emphasized he said, Leave these madrasahs alone and uphold these
mattresses. Because I have seen what happens when you cut yourself off from doctors and mattresses.
He said, what will happen is, what will happen is like what happened in Spain, you will have
remnants of the Islamic civilization in kotoba in Cordoba, but there will be no Islam and no
Muslims. And they say the same thing would have happened in India, you would have only had the Taj
Mahal or the Red Fort, if there was no progresses. So the first point that we make mention, we speak
		

			about the aspect of, of the role of Islamic institutions, the importance of master, then afterwards
the main important point that many times people come, what what do we see with regard to schools, or
what is known as contemporary education?
		

			Sometimes the word that is used is secular. That obviously, I personally don't like the word secular
and is not perhaps when you keep in mind what sector
		

			means that you don't believe in something that you can't see, or there is no moral or religious
aspects with regard to education, maybe let us use another definition, contemporary knowledge
acquired knowledge. acquired knowledge is a good thing, that there are certain types of knowledge
you acquired directly from the Quran and Hadith. Sometimes you have acquired from experience, or
from common sense, two plus two is four is not something that is written in the Quran and Hadith,
but it's common sense, and it's not haram, but it is something that we all know that is true. So,
that particular aspect calling contemporary knowledge, call it acquired knowledge is not haram. In
		

			fact, in certain types, and in certain situations, it is required, and it has been encouraged.
		

			Now, I will go on to it. Let me just give you an example with regard to looked at the previous
Monday, one of our greatest scholars of our contemporary times, some years back gave a talk in the
hero schools. Now, the hero schools very interestingly, has been set up Islamic schools in Karachi,
under the auspices of the data room, to the data room, right, runs the Muslim school, in that
particular situation. It is under of Tito's money, and he's, I think one of the sons around the
Islamic school.
		

			So he gave a talk and in the talk he made mentioned he said when my father came from migrated from
from India to Pakistan, and Pakistan was formed. Now we know that the Allama played a very great
role in the formation of Pakistan. Right. So the first time the flag was hoisted in Karachi, for the
independence up to the independence of Pakistan, it was hoisted by one on a ship Iraq most money in
Karachi, and one as a fragment of money in Dhaka, the term Dhaka was part of East Pakistan. support
Pakistan phonetic.
		

			There's so what we're saying is that we're not playing an important role with regard to the
formation of Pakistan. So Mufti ship is a parameter larae, was called upon by the Education
Department and said, We need to set up the education process of Pakistan. So let's move to
ServiceNow. Bronco Valley said, he said that there are three bottles of education that came from
India. Now along the Obon, the Aligarh University, the University, the contemporary education and
network network was maybe you could call it my network and, you know, they used to be in Delhi, the
middle University.
		

			So that was like amalgamation of contemporary and Islamic education. So network, the room, Diovan
Attica University. So he said he pleaded with educational authorities in Pakistan is that I'm not
telling you to implement the syllabus of government Gilbane in the educational system of Pakistan.
		

			Coming from someone who came from devil in the oval of teacher visa, Brahma Talalay the father,
typically was the Mufti in that room do well, before he migrated to Pakistan. We said I'm not
telling you to implement that system. I'm telling you to implement an integrated system. And he gave
an example of the first university that was set up in the world of detox up in that talk, he says
that I have not found any, any aspect in history to suggest that there was any university before the
Tehran University in first, which is in Morocco, the first university in the world was established
by Muslims and in that particular university, there was an amalgamation of the topics and the
		

			subjects. So he says, as a as a Milani, the author of Shiva, one of the best books on syrup to be
uttered him Solsona used to teach in that particular institute, the Tehran University, and in the
very same university, in euros, known as evidence in the Western world. And if you hold on I used to
teach philosophy and history. He said up till now, he said, myself and my brother, Mufti Rafi was
man in Morocco, who passed away recently, when, in the places in that university where they used to
teach a preserved weather used to teach both cousin years and finally used to teach Quran and Hadith
if they refuse to teach philosophy, and if you could do this to teach history has been preserved.
		

			So there used to be an amalgamation with regard to it. Now, why that particular system did not get
implemented, as he had suggested to the Pakistani educational authorities, Allah subhanaw taala
knows. Now we have a system in situation in Pakistan, where the data rooms have become on their own
and the educational system, the contemporary, you know, you know, education has been on its own. Now
what do we say with regard to the contemporary education in schools, university medicine, astronomy,
one of the most amazing things
		

			has been written by
		

			The man because
		

			we don't need to give any type of evidence with regard to his status as one of the greatest thinkers
and one of the greatest alums in our history. You will remember, in his magnum opus, a young
Illuminati yellow loom is written, that any branch of knowledge, which is indispensable for the
welfare of mankind,
		

			it is further qualified for the mud to acquire that knowledge,
		

			any branch of knowledge, which is indispensable for the welfare of mankind, it is perfectly fine for
the mud to acquire that knowledge. And then after writing that, he writes that tip Be well, he's up
like medicines, medicine and accounting.
		

			That means, he says it is forensic FAIA for the Muslim community in the Muslim ummah, to have people
who are doctors and accountants in the rank, otherwise the entire Muslim Ummah would be playing with
it, they would not be fulfilling a communal obligation. And this is what Imam Ghazali Rahmatullah he
has written, and something that everyone you know, I even actually photocopied the exact Arabic
statement of Imam Ali, which I've kept in my files. So this is something that Imam Ali itself, and
therefore you find that because of this, Muslims were not only enthusiastic, in the initial stages
of our history, to be experts in Quran and Hadith, we were in the forefront of every branch of
		

			knowledge.
		

			You know, whether it be medicine, whether it be accounting, whether it be environmental affairs,
whether it be every aspect, it is something that Muslims, we're in the forefront of every branch of
knowledge, whether it be hate them in astronomy, Masuda in environment, idrisi in geography, if they
roost in power philosophy, even if a mass in the first person to try and, you know, do flying, you
know, as in the aeroplanes therefore, in one of the Islamic countries, I think is Iraq, one of the
airports is named after him, who seemed to be in the forefront, even in terms of environmental
issues, I find it sometimes very difficult to digest, that there are certain things that we we hand
		

			over to the west, as if we are behind that is if environmental issues, they are the ones who are in
the forefront, they are the ones who are more environmentally friendly than what we are, or they
have toured the world with regard to environmental friendly teachings, things that are, you know,
conducive to the environment. I did a recent, you know, 45 minute presentation for a group in Muslim
tourists travel agency, Singapore, for environmental friendly tourism, 45 minutes, my presentation
on environmental, environmental friendly tourism. Now, those type of things is not something that
you know, we have, we have given it over because we have vacated the field. But initially we were
		

			the people who are in the forefront, it was our beloved creator himself, Allahu alayhi wa sallam who
taught us with regard to the importance of planting trees. He said, Anyone who plants a tree, and
they are people who benefit from the tree, whether it be animals, whether it be human beings, the
person who planted the tree will get the reward. What did our beloved little saw Salam said either
at the Messiah failures received facilita failures, Lisa, oh, come upon, if given the time of the
hammer comes in, you're planting a tree, don't stop by seeing the scammer who's gonna benefit from
the sweet corn planted sleeves?
		

			So, there are many issues like that, you know, I just feel that we have vacated this we have left it
open. And then we say it is, you know, Western induced, or these Western influence in them? Well, it
is like that, because you advocated the field.
		

			And even for example, this aspect of, you know, being kind to people who are physically challenged.
		

			And I'll tell you something of an experience of mine, which I feel so strongly about. I've got
someone who is a very close family member who is physically challenged.
		

			And one of the concerns that I have is this that non Muslims show him greater regard for his
physical challenge, even Muslims.
		

			Where do we get that? When Islam were in the forefront? It was our beloved Nebia Kareem salsa well,
before, looking after the physically challenged became trendy, that nebbia Kareem saw Selim made a
blind person or emir of Madina Munawwara when you went for TR
		

			and yet we feel that no, this is not D. We have taken away the comprehensiveness of our D O
		

			Protein is comprehensive. It taught us everything, but we protected some of his fields. So we find
that the first medical peer review now one of the things that you know you have peer reviews, the
first medical peer review was written by a Muslim by the name of Allah. It states a visiting
physician must make note of a patient's conditions, which must be examined by another physician or
another Medical Council, peer review. First step, the first person to discover the pulmonary
		

			rock observation in the country was in office 300 years before William Harvey Although William
Harvey to the credit, I recall one time there was I went somewhere and I was speaking about this
particular subject. And I spoke about William he'd been official, the first person who spoke about
the parliamentary blood circulation in the body. Well before William Harvey, after the talk, someone
came to me one a medical doctor and he said Mona, you know, you spoke about something in the medical
journal, it was written that William Avi was the first person. So he said, I wrote a letter to the
medical journal that you are incorrect. He said in the next particular medical journal, they
		

			corrected that and said it mean if this was the first person to discover the parliamentary blood
circulation in the morning. And this was something that not all well before Europe was in the dark
ages. As Draper has made mentioned that he said, When Europe was in the dark ages, it was the
Muslims that contributed to all fields of life. And he said the religions in the western world Otis
existence to Islam and Muslims. It was it me rushed, an evening, Sina and it Neva to time traveling.
Imam Razi Rahmatullah Ali, carried out the first experimentation on the most hygienic place to build
a hospital. The Encyclopedia Britannica writes that term, of course, everyone used to keep the
		

			encyclopedias now encyclopedia on our phone and share Google has become the encyclopedia
Encyclopedia Britannica has become the move to become the Share, share Google, it has become
everything. But the 10 people used to read the World Book and the International Encyclopedia
Britannica. The most trustworthy statements on smallpox comes from the ninth century raises human
rights era people deeply Hold on a philosopher and historian, father of many disciplines, including
social science, he wrote with regard to social sciences, you know, he dabbled 17 volumes, the
forward with regard to the market demand was in a volume as you know, for one whole volume is only
		

			the market demand only the prefix, a whole volume on the prefix. Nowadays, you get a book, The
preface is two three pages is a whole volume on the preface of his own keytab.
		

			And that he speaks about how societies evolved. And what are the whole aspects with regard to
society that will give you an example of
		

			what was his research. So even if you do lung Kailali, right, he said, Any nation
		

			which achieves freedom,
		

			they have to, they have to contend with two great challenges. Now look at his foresight, and we are
seeing the truth of it in South Africa. He says any nation which accused freedom has to contend with
two challenges. One is its inherent inferiority complex. And one, its new found opulence any nation
that become free, they have to face two challenges, the inherent inferiority complex. And the second
thing that you found opulence our ANC has failed the test. They have not been able to deal with the
inherent, you know, the con complex and with regard to the new form of violence, we will do Temecula
Valley, head actually as part of a social science and is, you know, being a student of history, it
		

			made mentioned with regard to it so many years back. Arnold Toynbee the British historian made
mention with regard to aluminum Talalay and his Kitab will give us the greatest work created by any
mind by any human being any time in any place.
		

			This he wrote with regard to inequality
		

			even deeper to travel 75,000 miles and he wrote on
		

			his whole experience with regard to you know, travels, and you came right up till you know, East
East Africa, you went west Africa even, you know, Malaysia even Sri Lanka he called it certain deep
and he wrote his own. Can you imagine how many miles you would have collected if he was a frequent
flyer on any particular airline frequent traveler status, something like that. He has so much hate
the media Sternen Masuda environment. The Quran speaks about
		

			As from s Ptolemy directly and indirectly, will be naturally who Macedon Allah says about the stars
which guide you upon the right path. You know, in you know I was reading somewhere someone who has
no one they told me just very recently, a letter in the Holy Quran tells about traveling in the
ocean as a means of your risk traveling in the ocean as a means of your risk. The person told me
said 80% of trade that takes place between import and export 80% of trade takes place because of
goods that are transported by the ocean. And in the Quran. Allah Tala makes mention of the chips,
		

			3d and you know movement in the ocean as a means of your wrist.
		

			Now in there, Allah Allah says we've been nudged through the means of the stars, you gain navigation
to the oceans, Apple trade has been used. So astronomy has been something that has been very
greatly, you know, the Muslims were in the forefront. Alfre Hani was one of the most famous
astronomers in the ninth century, the URL for a harness crater in the moon is named after him. And
what is amazing that we have to see is that he said two thirds of the stars
		

			that has names, they've got all Muslims. Most of the stars are in other numerals. But all the stars
that have named
		

			all the stars that have made two thirds of it have been made under Muslims, because Muslims were so
much in the forefront of astronomy. Now if this is a situation where Muslims were so well advanced
in all other fields of knowledge, which I just given you a very small tip of the iceberg really I'm
giving you a small tip of the iceberg if you don't read there's been many many books with regard to
it. This is something that we are supposed to be the forefront with regard to Allah in the Holy
Quran says with regard to for example, looking at the signs of Allah Tala in the universe, salary
him if
		

			I tell you to be in a room I know
		

			I will show you my son is in the in the universe and in your own self, I will show you my signs in
your own self, in your own cells in your body and in the horizon. Until you come to know that Allah
Tala in the Quran is true.
		

			That this I can see 1 million shades of color, I will show you my signs in your own self. And we can
go on making mentioned with regard to it. I just give you one small example the blue way I spoke
about it recently. So they say that the blue whale has got a tongue as big as an elephant. The
tongue of the blue whale is as big as an elephant. The heart of the blue whale is like the blood
vessels through which the blood flows in the blue whale. One can swim through the blood vessels of a
blue whale. And the blue whale
		

			eats 40 million thrills a day
		

			and close a small shrimps
		

			with a blue Sharpie.
		

			The Asians 40 million were mom and dad but infidelity Illa Adela here is for her. He is not a loving
being but the rest of it is to Allah subhanho wa Taala How does it hurt? If they say at the top of
the blue wing, greens, 400 litres of milk a day? who feeds it? Where do we come into this whole
aspect? We have left that no this is not the but Allah tells you in the Holy Quran, there are so
many irons in the Holy Quran which deals about Allah Tala straightness, maybe a crimson and one day
approach Sahaba who was sitting in the budget and they said what are you doing? He said we are
contemplating so the PFL themselves and said don't meditate over the self of Allah don't say Who is
		

			Allah How does Allah look because that can create doubt in your mind. But definitely you know do
meditate and contemplate over the creation of Allah Tala.
		

			And then they'll be occurring saucer mixture and that's what the ultimate says it has to come to now
he has made mentioning for silence.
		

			That to meditate over the creation of Allah and see the imprint of Allah Tala. In the creation of
Allah Tala is better than Ibaadat of 80 years. And one in the present as you can
		

			write, contemplating about the greatness of Allah by see the signs of Allah in the universe for a
short while is better than a battered hold night.
		

			So, these are also part of the material respected by others. So we are supposed to be in the
forefront with regard to these particular matters. And therefore I feel that we are supposed to be
not only in dealing knowledge in contemporary knowledge, we supposed to be in the forefront. We are
supposed to gain expertise in this. We are supposed to be that we have left it open now of course we
say yeah, but
		

			These particular disciplines have been infiltrated, and they are different, you know, influences in
it, when Who do you blame with regard to the the influences that have come in from other sources
when we were in the forefront. Therefore, in this particular regard, you must read the sums, you
know, writings of Khaled big. He's written many beautiful articles on education. So one of the
things that he rightly said that in the past these disciplines, they was an Islamic basis with
regard to those disciplines. And he speaks about fathers who was the father of algebra. And he said,
just unpack the books of algebra written by Faisal. He says, when you look at the format of those
		

			books, you will think that you are reading the foreword of an Islamic book, he started off in Al
Hamdulillah. Praises to Almighty Allah, so not upon
		

			any praising Allah subhanaw taala. Then he speaks about algebra. He says, Therefore, in the past,
you couldn't make out the difference between an alum and the scientists, they look the same. They
perform sanity in the same budget. They were, they were like one you couldn't make up, you couldn't
make out any other distinction between a scientist, even if it may look like an animal. But he was
the father and the founder of algebra. So we had the situation in the past of our Muslims were in
the forefront with regard to now how do we teach these disciplines, which I've said, according to
mum, because
		

			any branch of knowledge which is indispensable for the welfare of mankind, is a different matter
that today we are supposed to teach and learn those disciplines with the intention of serving
humanity, and not only with the intention of earning risk, this is a different matter, but these
particular aspects of learning, not only is it permitted, it is encouraged. Now, what do we do with
regard to how do we how do we gain the knowledge with regard to it, staying away from the
influences, and there is no doubt these influences. Today, some of the influences that are there
comes in subtle ways. Some of it today, we all talk about it, and we know about it. So we talk about
		

			the LGBTQ influence, we talk about the influence with regard to immortality, we teach we speak about
all these aspects and that are there. They are there in the schools, they are there in the
universities, what do you do? How do you how do you now say that we have to learn this knowledge as
we have an entire legacy of the Ummah been in the forefront of those particular knowledge. And yet
at the same time, staying away from the undue or the wrong influences. In Arabic, there's a saying
which is also an A 50 principle, whose master thought
		

			they put his benefit, beneficial, keep away from that which is harmful. Now, that is what we are
supposed to do. How do you do it? How do you get debt which is beneficial? And how do you stay away
from debt which is harmful.
		

			So one of the ways one of the institutions I spoke about the institution of the makup is the Islamic
schools. So the Muslim schools can have that particular type of situation where we teach the
contemporary, corded contemporary college acquired knowledge. And we teach that in a way that is
consistent with our values, consistent with our teachings. So we can do that and gain both of these
and then at the same time, learn those particular you know, sciences in conjunction and consistent
with our values. For example, science is supposed to teach you to see the greatness of Allah
subhanaw taala and the creation of Almighty Allah Allah in the Holy Quran complaints okay even if in
		

			for some of your maroon Allah you have a home
		

			how many other signs of Allah Tala you pass by, and you don't even think about Allah Tala enough you
have to somehow post enough
		

			in the creation of the heavens and earth, and in the changing of the day into night and the night in
today, there are signs of people of intellect who remember Allah when they see the signs of Quran
Allah has to know what to order Why does the movie remember Allah Tala is sitting and standing and
when they see the signs of Allah Tala, I mean the when the warning comes in when it comes to me
everything that is this is a sign of Allah Tala rapa nama halacha Agha Bettina O Allah, we have not
created the symbol. So this is something that we have to keep in mind. Not that the you know,
Islamic school, the Muslim schools, whatever you want to call them, are free from falls. Far from
		

			it. You know, I always tell people, that our educational institutes are not islands away from the
community or from the environment in which we are staying is not all of a sudden the moment you come
into the gates of an educational institute, all the harms all the environment or what is happening
in the community, all of a sudden evaporates the moment you walk into the gate of educational
institute. It is a microcosm of what is happening in the society. So if the society is full of
materialism, this is going to happen in our in our educational institute is in morality that is
there sometimes it
		

			It comes through into the educational institute, it doesn't mean that it is free from the harms. But
what happens is some of the aspects that are challenging, which are controversial, the Islamic
school and the Muslim school would be able to teach those particular aspects consistent with our
values and teachings. Like for example, the CSC comprehensive sexual education. Now, when you look
at that particular aspect today, what what they teach you that when you go and you speak to the
educational authorities in the country, they said, No, we tended in our CSC the comprehensive sexual
education, we teach the students that abstinence is the first option.
		

			Abstinence is the first option. But what they don't tell you is that the second thing that they tell
you that safe *, immortality is a respectable option, after they're so ready to ship. Abstinence
is good. But after they tell you, if we have to do it, we'd sit here.
		

			Right now, that is something that is part of the curriculum. And you have this type of situation
that is emerging. One of our people in the gym yet one of the items goes and does, you know,
workshops on LGBTQ so he was I asked him say, give me some some aspects that you have read. He said
one of the things are quite serious. He said, I picked up a couple of things. He said one day I said
I spoke to a 12 year old girl who came to speak to me after he did 45 workshops and LGBTQ school in
the last year 45. And he said on one occasion, he said 12 or 13 year old girl came and told me he
said, What are you speaking about all this these things? But I think Allah made me made a mistake.
		

			By making me a girl. I'm supposed to be a boy. Allah made a mistake by treating me as a girl.
		

			I'm supposed to be a boy, a 13 year old child telling this moron who did a presentation LGBTQ in one
of the educational institutes. He made mention, he said, I said, with verification, I can tell you
another experience. He said a young girl, one day the family wanted to take the out for Sunday
outing. And she turned down and said, No, I can, I can't come with you. One of my friends, which is
from the other faith groups,
		

			is coming to fetch me and we are going to the church, because I find the Bible lessons very, very
inspiring and motivating. And I'm going to the church with regard to learning more about that which
I found inspiring and motivating. Now, these are the type of things that we are exposing our
children to when we go to those particular institutions, where these things have become the norm.
Now, at least in this particular aspect, the Muslim schools can play a very important role. Now, one
important point that I would like to say that it can it can make it a stuff, the low teaching the
contemporary education away from the bias that comes with other educational system, and talking
		

			about the controversial matters without the bias of other isms, but consistent with our values. Now,
before I end, I don't like to speak too long, I would like to keep it close to 45 minutes or so
because our concentration span nowadays, you know the best. But anyway, what I'm going to tell you
one important point is this
		

			that we have a purpose in our education, our education is not without a purpose. And our education
is not only an degrees, our education is not only that, you must earn a degree or you must you know,
do well in your profession or you must open up something because of which you do you have become a
lot of money. Today we we gauge success in our educational pursuits, by what car you are going to
drive, which area you are going to stay in and which type of house you are you living in mid
respected elders and brothers I must say that this has become something that is quite worrying. That
sometimes the flaunting of those wealth on social media by our young children is of great concern.
		

			You know, it is almost as it is like a badge of honor. We bought a 30,000 brand sneaker we bought
100,000 handbag, and it is printed.
		

			Now there is nothing wrong in buying something that is good, but I mean, you don't buy it as an
objective. You don't buy it as a means of price. You don't buy it I'm going to be regarded as
superior because of these things, what type of values we are teaching our children and in those
particular type of values. Do you think that it is good for the upbringing of our children, when
these are the type of things that we are inculcating? So in Islam one of the basic aspects of
knowledge is to make you a better Muslims. It's made easy
		

			for you to come closer towards Almighty Allah in the magic Shala I mean everybody here that will
Amma as those who fear Allah the learners are those who fear Allah. If your knowledge is taking you
away from the question that knowledge and therefore we say even the other branches of knowledge, we
are supposed to learn it in a way that brings us closer towards Almighty Allah has it mana Tangram
Talalay. Now I'm talking about the most conservative of Allah. He had spoken about contemporary
knowledge. And he said one of the aspects with regard to contemporary knowledge in his book and
Pastor Isa, he says that those who are going to universities must keep a good grounding with Halima.
		

			And with Islamic books and Islamic principles, then they must go to university. Someone told me of
artifacts of Rahmatullah Lee was one of our great scholars who came to the times and even made
Ramadan year in our country. He said that he purchased the lane next to the university, right where
he was staying. Someone said, Why are you purchasing a land next to the university, he said, For me
to keep a relationship with the university students, that I need to keep a relationship with them,
to keep them close, we need this people to go and to acquire that knowledge. But we also need them
to be close towards the
		

			so what what is the purpose we need that we need to be in those fields. And I don't agree that you
must walk away from those tools. And many times because you walk about walk away from those fields,
then you are going to become dependent.
		

			You are going to become dependent. Today we are dependent. The Muslim world is dependent upon the
other powers with regard to even the military might. So you can't do anything without depending upon
other countries with regard to your own survival with regard to own safety without your own
security. This was not the way of the early stages or the early stages of our
		

			economy. So certainly Stein, send people to judge which was in Syria. To learn about the latest in
the warfare of the time, the first time the catapults were used. First time catapults will use the
time you need catapults to breach the forts. Right. The fortification that people used to keep
around the cities, the first time a catapult was used, was in the seat of time after the Fatah Maka
by our beloved.
		

			And maybe a crimson sent to Sabah to learn that particular method of warfare. So we I don't believe
I think, far from people telling us to stay away from it, we should actually come into the forefront
and bring about a revival of Islamic influence in those particular type of it's a long term dream,
it's a long term vision. But if we don't have that vision, we are always going to be prejudiced. We
are always going to be dependent upon other people, sometimes with disastrous consequences. And let
me tell you no conclude with one or two things, as Margaret
		

			Mead mentioned with regard to this in a very amazing way. He said, If you learn knowledge without,
without, you know the basis without the objective, you see something like this will happen. And he's
gave this example of a university students going out for a boat ride.
		

			Instead, they were going out for a boat ride. And, you know, university students and students
normally when they go out whether it be any type of students, even traditional modalities, students,
when they go out, they can become quite mischievous. And they can, you know, come up with different
types of things. We know we were students in that particular situation. So they went out on a boat
ride, and they started making fun with a person who took them for a ride around the lake. So while
they were sitting in, they were talking to him and they were speaking to him and he said, Do you
know anything with regard to max? So he said, No, I don't know anything about metal. I only know how
		

			much money I must take from you and give you the required amount. If you give me more I can give you
the change according your debt. More than that. I don't know anything to say anything during this
quarter for life is gone. After a while, they said Do you know anything about history? Do you know
the great civilizations of the past? And he said the only history I know is my grandfather's
history. I don't know anything more than that, say afterlife is gone. Then they say you know
anything about geography. So you said what is the geography? He couldn't even pronounce it. They say
three quarters of your life is called. And then all of a sudden while they were sitting in they were
		

			joking and they were laughing at the expense of this person who was taking them around for
Boatwright. They came away and because of that wave, it now became apparent that the boat is going
to capsize or the boat is going to capsize. So he told them in some you know triumphantly because
they were joking and say you do not want to swim.
		

			When most of them said we don't know how to swim you say your whole life. He's got you saying half
my life is gone or three quarter of my life your life is
		

			what happens if we learn knowledge and record all of that knowledge in order to have the day of
Tiamat Allah Tala tells us how close
		

			You come to me? How close Have you come to me? Have you fulfilled my obligation? Then our entire
education which we have acquired without Dean becomes useless?
		

			What is what is the position of a person who is a PhD in anything? And he doesn't know? Or when you
ask him, What is your religion? Do you believe in data exist? And he said, I don't know. I'm an
agnostic, I'm doubtful.
		

			I don't have any firm convictions or firm faith on who created me. Now he's a PhD. Can you ask a
seven year old Muslim child who created a lot later?
		

			Now, what is a seven year old child's knowledge a PhD, the person who knows and he says I'm an
agnostic. So in that particular regard, learning these branches of knowledge within the right
context could be achieved by the Islamic schools, which have a very important role to play. So in
conclusion, my dear respected wellness, parents have to play a very important role with regard to
choosing the right educational institutes and the right education. You know, they say parenting
isn't for cowards, and more than ever before, we have to play an active role with regard to
education, even when they go to any educational institute, we have to supervise, we have to see what
		

			they are. If they are something that there is doubt, we have to rectify those doubts. So in short,
I've tried to cover the important aspect, the importance of knowledge, I try to cover with regard to
what is compulsory, and I said, terrible me for either to pull the Muslim, the acquiring of
knowledge is compulsory, what is compulsory? I have spoken about contemporary education, what is
known as acquired knowledge, public contemporary education. I've given you the whole example what
demand has added on to that as mentioned, I give you examples of Muslims being the forefront, I made
mention with regards to the pistol speaking about, you know, education in the time of the University
		

			of Tehran in phase, you know, in those particular universities, we have that integrated, we we don't
have it now another knows with regard to it, why, why it hasn't happened. But even with those
particular disciplines, we need to acquire it, acquire it within our values within our teachings.
How do we achieve that? All of that is part of the challenges of modern education. And we make dua
that Allah subhanho wa Taala increases in knowledge because one of the doors of the Quran is Rob
visit Nicholas O Allah increase my knowledge. So Allah Tala mas increases in our knowledge of Allah,
His Rasul and also acquiring the knowledge of the contemporary issues, which are indispensable for
		

			the welfare of mankind, and we acquire it with the right bias and with the right experience with
right teachings and right objectives, we are not gonna give you another topic of understanding while
through the Awana
		

			Shala we will conclude if there is any type of questions or any type of discussions people want to
have over what has been said, by all means you can contact us myself or the janitor Alama Tallamy
board and we can even you know always enter into discussion with regard to the point that we made
mentioned as obviously we're selling we're very close either not gonna be enough or more than what
