Islam and Education
In the pre-Islamic erascant attention was paid to knowledge. It was Prophet Muhammad ﷺwho used knowledge as an essential tool to understand realities of life. The first Revelation to him was “IqraBisme Rabbi KallaziKhalaq” (Read in the name of thy Lord). Needless to say that the word Qur’ān itself means recitation, lecture and discourse. So far as sayings of Prophet Muhammad ﷺare concerned every volume of “Hadith” has a chapter called “The Book of Knowledge”, a treasure of learning and education. The word “knowledge” has been used 750 times in the Qur’ān.
