Paramountcy of Erudition

There is no gainsaying in the verity that nations of the sphere are forced to contend with crest, optimum, nadir and nemesis. Those nations who almost always persist in being at acme have a peerless and stellar peculiarity entrenched in them, i.e. they are more pragmatic and empirical. However, the nations on the course of decline, ousting and downfall leave in the lurch nitty gritty and plump for dulcet speech-making. This is a certitude of high standing that no civilization of the world that minuses nitty gritty has ever acclimatized to the plurality settings of the macrocosm. Although, Islam places knowledge at highest level of human endeavor and repeatedly the Qur'an and the sayings of the Holy Prophet (peace be on him) urge the acquisition of knowledge. Indeed, the word knowledge, 'Ilm', is the most used after the name of the Lord of the entire macrocosm, Allah (Subhanawata'la) in the Holy Qur'an. Also the Holy Prophet (peace be on him) urged his followers to 'seek knowledge, even unto China'. But in spite of all this, the Muslim civilization in the day and age is enduring nadir and is being earmarked far and wide in the orb due to especial apologia and inducements. Musharraf Shaheen lucidly explicates the importance of empirical approach, significance of education and knowledge and voices the need to contrive the education system in such a manner that through the agency of this, Muslims get out of these angst stalemates and predicament.
