Equitable Development

 Islamic Education:       “Education in Islam is a comprehensive whole which brings about a harmonious development of mind; body and soul. It purifies the soul, “Tazkia-e-Nafs”. It sharpens the intellect and builds the body. Religious; moral; scientific and physical education goes side by side in the true Islamic educational system”. Due to the prevalent apathy and decadence of Muslin (as differentiated from Islamic) society, this concept is nowhere enforced. To provide complete and integrated support to the poor, in order to build up a base for poverty eradication, a system of education on the above-quoted lines from Fasool-Fee-Tarbiyatul Shakhsyat Al-Islami by Dr. Jeezawip is the order of the day.

For meaningful and positive change to take place, a different approach will have to be used. Take the example of a large and rambling structure with many rooms and halls. The structure is obsolete, has ill-served the inhabitants, assailed from within and without, and is falling down. Is it possible to remodel the existing structure with all its baggage? Is sudden change viable? Does i...

  "We do have a government, at present, whose methods are a mimicry of Trump’s and whose willingness to use falsehood, even spoken from the sacred center of power, to achieve its aims, is apparent for all to see. You could say ‘mendacity’ is its middle name. Thus, any abrogation of the usual conventions might simply embolden our “masters of the universe”. But, perhaps most important is the will to autocratic power that is fuelling the ambitions of the Great Leader. * *  MindReadings   Femi Oyebode's Musings https://femioyebode.com/2020/09/24/be-afraid-be-very-afraid/ They say History repeats itself but they seldom say that Smaller Governments with pretensions to Grandeur tend to mimic those Governments they perceive to be 'The Ultimate' Power!
