Let there be no compulsion in religion:Truth stands out clear from Error:whoever rejects Evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trusworthy hand-hold, that never breaks.And Allah heareth and knoweth all things. (Al-Baqarah: 256)
Yesterday's IOK class was lively with Osama (from Jerusalem) and Azmi (from JB) and I arguing and analysing IOK as an intellectual movement, the failures of the 1977 Education Convention and way fwd to reinstate a culture of knowledge in the Muslim world. I was inspired to write a book entitled "English can kill" as we discussed language policies in some super-power/developed countries in Asia: Japan, China, South Korea, etc and tied it up with what Edward Said and Robert Phillipson said about Linguistic Imperialism and other forms of imperialism imposed on the 'South', 'East', 3rd world countries etc.
Education policy makers got wordy on the aim and objective of education (revisited).The Quran has only one expression: to perfect our akhlaq.Bringing back morality in our lives is prime.End purpose.Ultimate goal.In whatever we do.Why get wordy?
