Mirza Yawar Baig – Whats education

Mirza Yawar Baig
AI: Summary ©
The transcript describes the meaning and significance of "fit" in the context of education, using an analogy of a culture being created by individuals with specific skill sets to connect with their environment and influence others. The speakers discuss various examples of education, including the use of " naught" and "taught" to describe the process of learning and development, and the importance of understanding and embracing one's own values. The segment also touches on the difference between education and skill training, as well as the "by" of technology and science, and the importance of science in shaping the world. The agenda is focused on creating a world-class religious education that is linked to a generational project, which requires investment and change in priorities, and is not a means to achieve wealth and success.

Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa

00:00:03 --> 00:00:06

salatu salam ala should have freedom be even more serene or her

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09

mother was a little boy he saw no love it he went it was absurd,

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

this leven cathedral because your home

00:00:14 --> 00:00:19

sisters, the purpose of education, is to civilize.

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

In order though we have a word called Sahaba.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

Now, the half hours are covered.

00:00:31 --> 00:00:36

The usual meaning is to be able to read and write.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

But if you take the

00:00:41 --> 00:00:45

origin of the word, it's on the, the Arabic word, which is

00:00:45 --> 00:00:45

moussaka.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:54

So somebody who has a kava, in the original meaning of the word is

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

somebody who is of noble character,

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

who has courage was all the

00:01:02 --> 00:01:05

virtues of nobility, of

00:01:07 --> 00:01:12

integrity, of courage, and so on. So was not only restricted to

00:01:14 --> 00:01:14

reading and writing.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:21

So therefore, I remind myself, I knew that the purpose of education

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

is to civilize the person

00:01:25 --> 00:01:31

to civilize means, to connect the human being to his greater Allah

00:01:31 --> 00:01:36

subhanaw taala. So that he recognizes him, has a relationship

00:01:36 --> 00:01:43

with Him, strives to please Him, relies on his mercy, understand

00:01:43 --> 00:01:47

his responsibility in this life, and that he will be held

00:01:47 --> 00:01:50

accountable for it, and looks forward with forgiveness.

00:01:53 --> 00:01:57

The purpose of education is to give the child ethics and values

00:01:57 --> 00:02:04

and morals which are timeless and fundamental, and the confidence to

00:02:04 --> 00:02:07

live his life by those values.

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

Without this, it is not education.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:19

To learn a skill to make a living, no matter what that skill is, is

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

training. It is not education.

00:02:22 --> 00:02:27

And it doesn't matter whether that skill is carpentry, or motor

00:02:27 --> 00:02:33

mechanics, or building rockets, or medicine, or engineering,

00:02:34 --> 00:02:40

or flying a plane. They are all skills. I'm not looking down on

00:02:40 --> 00:02:43

any of them. If I have a heart attack, I need a doctor, I need a

00:02:43 --> 00:02:46

surgeon I need I need a cardiologist, but that is a skill.

00:02:48 --> 00:02:51

Please understand and remember that the people who did some of

00:02:51 --> 00:02:52

the

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

most heinous

00:02:56 --> 00:02:59

experiments are living human beings.

00:03:00 --> 00:03:05

In Hitler's concentration camps are very highly trained physicians

00:03:05 --> 00:03:06

and surgeons.

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

The people who build the gas chambers

00:03:12 --> 00:03:17

with gas 6 million Jews and and other people not only the Jews and

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20

the gypsies or whatever, but the majority of the videos

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

those gas chambers were not built by ignorant people. They were

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

built by engineers.

00:03:28 --> 00:03:33

All skilled trade, we use this word education very loosely. We

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35

said they were highly educated not they were not educated at all.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

They were not only not highly educated, they were not educated

00:03:39 --> 00:03:47

at all. They had skills. They were trained in certain skills. There's

00:03:47 --> 00:03:52

a world of difference between education and skill training,

00:03:52 --> 00:03:53

chalk and cheese.

00:03:54 --> 00:03:58

Allah subhanaw taala defined for us the meaning of education

00:03:59 --> 00:04:01

and the way to do it

00:04:02 --> 00:04:04

and those around intelligence Olivenhain

00:04:05 --> 00:04:09

interviews altruism, our the will of the of the lovely lady wanna

00:04:09 --> 00:04:11

hurry law till the oil Web.

00:04:13 --> 00:04:14

Allah says Verily,

00:04:16 --> 00:04:19

in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of

00:04:19 --> 00:04:22

the day, in the night, there are signs for all

00:04:23 --> 00:04:26

signs for people to reflect, to understand who think who have

00:04:26 --> 00:04:27

intelligence.

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

And then Allah subhanaw taala describes who are these

00:04:32 --> 00:04:36

Allah said Allah Vina yeah the Quran Allah keyamo Corrado Allah,

00:04:36 --> 00:04:41

you know, we him were yet Karuna V occultism. Our the world.

00:04:42 --> 00:04:46

Allah subhanaw taala mentioned two qualities. And he mentioned them

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47

in a sequence.

00:04:48 --> 00:04:52

Allah said these are the people Allah Xena years Quran Allah,

00:04:53 --> 00:04:56

Allah you know, we, these are the people who remember Allah subhanaw

00:04:56 --> 00:05:00

taala standing, sitting and lying down. And then Allah Allah

00:05:00 --> 00:05:04

rather use the preposition Wow. Which is and

00:05:06 --> 00:05:10

we're yet have a Karuna vehicle Okay so our theme this is the

00:05:10 --> 00:05:15

beauty of the buyer of the Quran the entire gamut of science and

00:05:15 --> 00:05:19

technology and discovery and invention is in one word which is

00:05:19 --> 00:05:22

yet alpha karoun He is always developing.

00:05:24 --> 00:05:28

Now think about this from the Arabic language perspective, the

00:05:28 --> 00:05:37

same thing can be said instead of and by using or so instead of WoW

00:05:37 --> 00:05:41

by using Oh, so for example, Allah subhanaw taala could have said

00:05:41 --> 00:05:45

Allah Xena yes Quran Allah hakea mucholder wala you know wave o

00:05:46 --> 00:05:50

Coronavirus are these are the word it means these are the people who

00:05:50 --> 00:05:54

remember Allah subhanaw taala standing sitting Elijah or those

00:05:55 --> 00:06:01

are those who reflect in the creation of the heavens and the

00:06:01 --> 00:06:05

earth. So Allah saying intelligent people are two kinds. One is those

00:06:05 --> 00:06:10

who reflect on Allah and remember Allah and black and have Taqwa as

00:06:10 --> 00:06:15

well and also either this or that. This is one possibility. Other

00:06:15 --> 00:06:19

possibilities the same thing could have been said in the opposite

00:06:19 --> 00:06:19

way.

00:06:21 --> 00:06:26

Now Oh, Allah the nya Coronavirus Alcazaba to a lot of the

00:06:27 --> 00:06:34

how or what yet have a Corona so Allah subhanaw taala could have

00:06:34 --> 00:06:38

put their finger V salt is our developer before Yes, Guru Hola,

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40

como pueden wala you know, you get the point.

00:06:41 --> 00:06:43

But Allah did not do either or that

00:06:45 --> 00:06:49

Allah did not do either of that. Arabic grammatically we can write

00:06:49 --> 00:06:53

the sentence anyway. But that is not the eyes of the Quran. The

00:06:53 --> 00:06:56

eyes of the Quran is what Allah Xena has grown Allah

00:06:58 --> 00:07:02

Allah you know we him Wyatt have a Corona fever Okay, some people

00:07:02 --> 00:07:03

are.

00:07:06 --> 00:07:09

So, Allah is giving us two qualities. Allah is showing us the

00:07:09 --> 00:07:13

relationship between the two qualities, Allah subhanaw taala is

00:07:13 --> 00:07:16

showing us the sequence of these two qualities and what is the

00:07:16 --> 00:07:20

result when you do education in this way in the sequence

00:07:21 --> 00:07:24

Rob Bernama kala Jota ha.

00:07:26 --> 00:07:26

So

00:07:29 --> 00:07:34

spontaneously the person was oh our you have not created all of

00:07:34 --> 00:07:37

this in vain you have not created all of this just like that like a

00:07:37 --> 00:07:40

game this is not an accident didn't just happen

00:07:45 --> 00:07:49

masala Bahasa so Hanukkah Pina avana

00:07:51 --> 00:07:56

you are pure All Glory to you all majesty to you save us from the

00:07:56 --> 00:07:56

hellfire.

00:08:00 --> 00:08:06

This is the trap that we have fallen into and allowed ourselves

00:08:06 --> 00:08:08

to fall into

00:08:09 --> 00:08:13

Allah subhanaw taala use this and taught us this.

00:08:15 --> 00:08:16

So that we

00:08:19 --> 00:08:24

and understand the meaning of education, and the sequence of

00:08:24 --> 00:08:24

education.

00:08:26 --> 00:08:28

When we invert the sequence,

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31

we have the opposite we have the problem, which is

00:08:33 --> 00:08:35

we have scientists who are atheists.

00:08:37 --> 00:08:41

And we have Alama of Islam who don't understand the first thing

00:08:41 --> 00:08:45

about science. The moment you talk about scientists, he started in

00:08:45 --> 00:08:45

delet

00:08:47 --> 00:08:51

both are undesirable situations and completely unnecessary

00:08:51 --> 00:08:52

situations.

00:08:54 --> 00:09:01

Right now, this is what used to have the tragedies. If we had been

00:09:01 --> 00:09:06

people who are always like this, they're not gonna say what these

00:09:06 --> 00:09:07

people are like this.

00:09:09 --> 00:09:14

But we will not wash bread what really between and that's why I

00:09:14 --> 00:09:19

study history. We will not like this. We are people who are at the

00:09:20 --> 00:09:25

cutting edge of technology and science in this world while being

00:09:27 --> 00:09:30

grounded in Islam Alhamdulillah

00:09:34 --> 00:09:35

but it went

00:09:37 --> 00:09:43

Sure, I agree. Historical insurance, invasions, colonial

00:09:44 --> 00:09:48

colonialism and colonial rule zones on all this had an effect

00:09:48 --> 00:09:52

and I'm not trying to you know whitewash all that and say No it

00:09:52 --> 00:09:53

did. But

00:09:55 --> 00:09:59

how can hundreds of years of scholarship and hundreds of years

00:09:59 --> 00:09:59

of

00:10:00 --> 00:10:03

Research and Methodology simply go to the brain because there is a

00:10:03 --> 00:10:03

war.

00:10:06 --> 00:10:09

So it shows that it is not only the external, it's something

00:10:09 --> 00:10:12

inside we decided to be focus.

00:10:13 --> 00:10:17

Now my point here is not to sit and die or that my point is to say

00:10:17 --> 00:10:21

that even today, if we want to change, it's in our hands.

00:10:23 --> 00:10:28

We must invest in the proper kinds of schools and Islamic schools

00:10:28 --> 00:10:28

that

00:10:29 --> 00:10:35

give you a world class religious education. Embedded in a world

00:10:35 --> 00:10:39

class scientific education has to go hand in hand. It cannot be

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41

tagged on to the end of which

00:10:42 --> 00:10:45

it cannot be cosmetic to say all the boy was were to be there all

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

developers were here. No, no.

00:10:49 --> 00:10:52

That's like saying everyone should read we should wear pants. I mean,

00:10:52 --> 00:10:54

were they wearing hijab, a trophy? And so on is is part of your dress

00:10:54 --> 00:10:57

code? I mean, you don't have to say that.

00:10:58 --> 00:11:00

But that's not enough in itself.

00:11:01 --> 00:11:04

It is the teaching methodology is the curriculum, it's a syllabus.

00:11:05 --> 00:11:08

It's a whole thing together. I mean, if we don't invest in that,

00:11:09 --> 00:11:12

it doesn't go out of the air. It's not doesn't fall down with rain.

00:11:15 --> 00:11:18

So I have my idea of saying this to you and all those people to

00:11:18 --> 00:11:18

whom this

00:11:19 --> 00:11:23

reminder goes through, is please think about this. Think about this

00:11:23 --> 00:11:28

city, in your city, in your communities in your groups. Focus

00:11:28 --> 00:11:31

on this Don't Don't worry about all the what's happening in Libya,

00:11:31 --> 00:11:36

we get a lot of energy, World Cup soccer, cricket.

00:11:37 --> 00:11:41

And right now crisis in Gaza. And this weather.

00:11:43 --> 00:11:44

By all means make dua for Gaza.

00:11:45 --> 00:11:48

Donate money for Gaza. But remember,

00:11:49 --> 00:11:53

if you want to prevent the process from happening, it won't happen by

00:11:53 --> 00:11:54

donating money to this.

00:11:56 --> 00:12:00

It will happen by creating a system which ensures that this

00:12:00 --> 00:12:02

kind of stuff does not happen again.

00:12:04 --> 00:12:07

And this is a generational project. It is not something that

00:12:07 --> 00:12:11

you and I can sit and say okay, we take five years and after five

00:12:11 --> 00:12:15

years, you are the kings? No, it's a generational project. We have to

00:12:15 --> 00:12:18

start we have to teach the children our children have to

00:12:18 --> 00:12:21

raise their children and Allah knows how long it takes but it

00:12:21 --> 00:12:24

will take and it will happen because this is the law of Allah

00:12:24 --> 00:12:26

subhanaw taala if happens with others happen with us.

00:12:28 --> 00:12:31

But effort has to be made, investment has to be has to be

00:12:31 --> 00:12:34

made, priorities must be changed.

00:12:36 --> 00:12:40

We must correct our line with Allah subhanaw taala and we must

00:12:40 --> 00:12:45

invest in ourselves as a community as an ummah.

00:12:48 --> 00:12:51

Ask us rather than a dealer who to give us these priorities to fill

00:12:51 --> 00:12:57

our hearts with with true figure for the Muslims and the courage

00:12:57 --> 00:13:01

and the fortitude and the integrity and the strength to

00:13:01 --> 00:13:06

invest in projects that will inshallah remove this hardship and

00:13:06 --> 00:13:10

removes oppression that we are suffering from Barcelona Hello

00:13:10 --> 00:13:12

Anna will carry while it was with me
