Mirza Yawar Baig – Whats education
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.

salatu salam ala should have freedom be even more serene or her
mother was a little boy he saw no love it he went it was absurd,
this leven cathedral because your home
sisters, the purpose of education, is to civilize.
In order though we have a word called Sahaba.
Now, the half hours are covered.
The usual meaning is to be able to read and write.
But if you take the
origin of the word, it's on the, the Arabic word, which is
moussaka.
So somebody who has a kava, in the original meaning of the word is
somebody who is of noble character,
who has courage was all the
virtues of nobility, of
integrity, of courage, and so on. So was not only restricted to
reading and writing.
So therefore, I remind myself, I knew that the purpose of education
is to civilize the person
to civilize means, to connect the human being to his greater Allah
subhanaw taala. So that he recognizes him, has a relationship
with Him, strives to please Him, relies on his mercy, understand
his responsibility in this life, and that he will be held
accountable for it, and looks forward with forgiveness.
The purpose of education is to give the child ethics and values
and morals which are timeless and fundamental, and the confidence to
live his life by those values.
Without this, it is not education.
To learn a skill to make a living, no matter what that skill is, is
training. It is not education.
And it doesn't matter whether that skill is carpentry, or motor
mechanics, or building rockets, or medicine, or engineering,
or flying a plane. They are all skills. I'm not looking down on
any of them. If I have a heart attack, I need a doctor, I need a
surgeon I need I need a cardiologist, but that is a skill.
Please understand and remember that the people who did some of
the
most heinous
experiments are living human beings.
In Hitler's concentration camps are very highly trained physicians
and surgeons.
The people who build the gas chambers
with gas 6 million Jews and and other people not only the Jews and
the gypsies or whatever, but the majority of the videos
those gas chambers were not built by ignorant people. They were
built by engineers.
All skilled trade, we use this word education very loosely. We
said they were highly educated not they were not educated at all.
They were not only not highly educated, they were not educated
at all. They had skills. They were trained in certain skills. There's
a world of difference between education and skill training,
chalk and cheese.
Allah subhanaw taala defined for us the meaning of education
and the way to do it
and those around intelligence Olivenhain
interviews altruism, our the will of the of the lovely lady wanna
hurry law till the oil Web.
Allah says Verily,
in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of
the day, in the night, there are signs for all
signs for people to reflect, to understand who think who have
intelligence.
And then Allah subhanaw taala describes who are these
Allah said Allah Vina yeah the Quran Allah keyamo Corrado Allah,
you know, we him were yet Karuna V occultism. Our the world.
Allah subhanaw taala mentioned two qualities. And he mentioned them
in a sequence.
Allah said these are the people Allah Xena years Quran Allah,
Allah you know, we, these are the people who remember Allah subhanaw
taala standing, sitting and lying down. And then Allah Allah
rather use the preposition Wow. Which is and
we're yet have a Karuna vehicle Okay so our theme this is the
beauty of the buyer of the Quran the entire gamut of science and
technology and discovery and invention is in one word which is
yet alpha karoun He is always developing.
Now think about this from the Arabic language perspective, the
same thing can be said instead of and by using or so instead of WoW
by using Oh, so for example, Allah subhanaw taala could have said
Allah Xena yes Quran Allah hakea mucholder wala you know wave o
Coronavirus are these are the word it means these are the people who
remember Allah subhanaw taala standing sitting Elijah or those
are those who reflect in the creation of the heavens and the
earth. So Allah saying intelligent people are two kinds. One is those
who reflect on Allah and remember Allah and black and have Taqwa as
well and also either this or that. This is one possibility. Other
possibilities the same thing could have been said in the opposite
way.
Now Oh, Allah the nya Coronavirus Alcazaba to a lot of the
how or what yet have a Corona so Allah subhanaw taala could have
put their finger V salt is our developer before Yes, Guru Hola,
como pueden wala you know, you get the point.
But Allah did not do either or that
Allah did not do either of that. Arabic grammatically we can write
the sentence anyway. But that is not the eyes of the Quran. The
eyes of the Quran is what Allah Xena has grown Allah
Allah you know we him Wyatt have a Corona fever Okay, some people
are.
So, Allah is giving us two qualities. Allah is showing us the
relationship between the two qualities, Allah subhanaw taala is
showing us the sequence of these two qualities and what is the
result when you do education in this way in the sequence
Rob Bernama kala Jota ha.
So
spontaneously the person was oh our you have not created all of
this in vain you have not created all of this just like that like a
game this is not an accident didn't just happen
masala Bahasa so Hanukkah Pina avana
you are pure All Glory to you all majesty to you save us from the
hellfire.
This is the trap that we have fallen into and allowed ourselves
to fall into
Allah subhanaw taala use this and taught us this.
So that we
and understand the meaning of education, and the sequence of
education.
When we invert the sequence,
we have the opposite we have the problem, which is
we have scientists who are atheists.
And we have Alama of Islam who don't understand the first thing
about science. The moment you talk about scientists, he started in
delet
both are undesirable situations and completely unnecessary
situations.
Right now, this is what used to have the tragedies. If we had been
people who are always like this, they're not gonna say what these
people are like this.
But we will not wash bread what really between and that's why I
study history. We will not like this. We are people who are at the
cutting edge of technology and science in this world while being
grounded in Islam Alhamdulillah
but it went
Sure, I agree. Historical insurance, invasions, colonial
colonialism and colonial rule zones on all this had an effect
and I'm not trying to you know whitewash all that and say No it
did. But
how can hundreds of years of scholarship and hundreds of years
of
Research and Methodology simply go to the brain because there is a
war.
So it shows that it is not only the external, it's something
inside we decided to be focus.
Now my point here is not to sit and die or that my point is to say
that even today, if we want to change, it's in our hands.
We must invest in the proper kinds of schools and Islamic schools
that
give you a world class religious education. Embedded in a world
class scientific education has to go hand in hand. It cannot be
tagged on to the end of which
it cannot be cosmetic to say all the boy was were to be there all
developers were here. No, no.
That's like saying everyone should read we should wear pants. I mean,
were they wearing hijab, a trophy? And so on is is part of your dress
code? I mean, you don't have to say that.
But that's not enough in itself.
It is the teaching methodology is the curriculum, it's a syllabus.
It's a whole thing together. I mean, if we don't invest in that,
it doesn't go out of the air. It's not doesn't fall down with rain.
So I have my idea of saying this to you and all those people to
whom this
reminder goes through, is please think about this. Think about this
city, in your city, in your communities in your groups. Focus
on this Don't Don't worry about all the what's happening in Libya,
we get a lot of energy, World Cup soccer, cricket.
And right now crisis in Gaza. And this weather.
By all means make dua for Gaza.
Donate money for Gaza. But remember,
if you want to prevent the process from happening, it won't happen by
donating money to this.
It will happen by creating a system which ensures that this
kind of stuff does not happen again.
And this is a generational project. It is not something that
you and I can sit and say okay, we take five years and after five
years, you are the kings? No, it's a generational project. We have to
start we have to teach the children our children have to
raise their children and Allah knows how long it takes but it
will take and it will happen because this is the law of Allah
subhanaw taala if happens with others happen with us.
But effort has to be made, investment has to be has to be
made, priorities must be changed.
We must correct our line with Allah subhanaw taala and we must
invest in ourselves as a community as an ummah.
Ask us rather than a dealer who to give us these priorities to fill
our hearts with with true figure for the Muslims and the courage
and the fortitude and the integrity and the strength to
invest in projects that will inshallah remove this hardship and
removes oppression that we are suffering from Barcelona Hello
