Islam encourages the man to think on the world and universal laws, and pay attention on extra ordinary facts; as it would deepen his wisdom to feel the rightness and remember the God. Islam pays particular attention on training the spirit, and develops some characteristics inside the man so that he can always regard the God as his caretaker and see the Almighty informed of all his secrets.
But the experts of modern education have confined it (education) into science and arts totally ignoring the spirits, feelings and emotions. The result of this approach is the existing imbalance between rationality and feeling. As Mr. Alexis Karol says: “No doubt that our present civilization has not been able to accomplish the great desire of humanity. This civilization has been negligent in educating those people who are necessary for its development and preservation in the direction of general interests and survival of the universe.”
The great Islamic scholar Molana Abul Hassan Nadwi says: “It is not in the interest of Muslims that their system of education be based on imported principles; on the contrary it is necessary that these modern sciences be revised on the bases of Islamic principles; and a result should be driven from them that is not only in contradiction with the religion but also leads to its (religion) empowerment”.
