Human dignity and the Islamic scheme of things

Dr Mohammad Manzoor Alam

We are always prone to forgetting, or missing, some of the truths that radically affect our lives and life’s crucial decisions. For instance, how often as believers do we remember Allah’s clear declaration in the Quran that He “conferred dignity on Adam’s children” while dealing with people?

The spirit of sacrifice

Dr Mohammad Manzoor Alam

On the two Eidain I have been regularly returning to this column over the years. The column is particularly addressed to Indian Muslim youth, even though the readership includes most adult age groups. As you read it we will be very close to Eid-al-Azha.

Spread Education, Save Humanity

Dr Mohammad Manzoor Alam

Knowledge is essential for the betterment of humanity, human development, convenience and facilities. ‘Education a top priority in Islam'

Education is a fundamental right of humans. Education is a basic need of all humans, be they wealthy or pauper, man or woman, Arab or non-Arab, American or African, fair or dark. Education draws the line of distinction between man and animal. Education is a symbol of culture and civilisation. Education guarantees human development and success. Knowledge is instrumental in bringing greatness and honour to humans. Knowledge is much sought after in all revealed Books, religious scriptures and world communities. Knowledge is essential for the betterment of humanity, human development, convenience and facilities. 

BASIC AIMS OF KNOWLEDGE

Dr Mohammad Manzoor Alam

Welfare and kindness are essential ingredients in the very nature of knowledge. Knowledge serves humans in difficult situations. Knowledge always proves helpful at all times in resolving problems. We know from the experience of the past that knowledge equips humans with courage and audacity whenever they are confronted with challenges. Basically, knowledge begets capacity and ability. Acquisition of knowledge widens the horizon of human mind, which ensures development of the society. Knowledge opens the gates of possibilities towards advancement. This is why all world religions have laid great emphasis on acquiring knowledge. Islam has placed knowledge in its priorities. The first revelation of the Holy Qur’an, saying, Read in the name of your Lord…(96:1) drives home the point that knowledge is the most important asset of all humans. It will be seen here that the first chapter of the Holy Qur’an al-‘Alaq and the first verse thereof command humans to seek knowledge. There stems a question from this command of our Lord as to what knowledge aims at. What does education stand for? What changes are brought about in humans by means of knowledge?
