Salam to all....A very interesting piece of information or shall I say advice to be shared.Happy 1430 Hijria.Happy? But situations in the Muslim world is still sad as it was 500 years ago since we relaxed our quest for knowledge. Because of that influence and power shifted to the Christian world - and have remained there ever since.The figures are speaking themselves very loudly but we refuse to listen. Some thoughts - Extracts of speech by Hafez A.B. Mohamed. Director-General, Al Baraka Bank.

Why are they powerful and
why are Muslims powerless?


Here's another reason...
We have lost the capacity toproduce knowledge.
In the entire Muslim world (57 Muslim countries) thereare only 500 universities
In USA alone, 5,758 universities
In India alone, 8,407 universities


Not one university in the entire Islamic World featurering the Top 500 Ranking Universities of the World


Literacy in the Christian world - 90%
Literacy in the Muslim world - 40%
Christian-majority countries' literacy rate - 100%
Muslim-majority countries with 100% - None
98% in Christian countries completed primary education
Only 50% in Muslim countries completed primary education
40% in Christian countries attended university
In Muslim countries, a dismal 2% attended university


Muslim-majority countries have 230 scientists per million
The USA has 5000 per million
The Christian world - 1000 technicians per million
Entire Arab world - only 50 technicians per million
Muslim world spending on R&D - 0.2% of GDP
Christian world's R&D - 5.0% of GDP


Conclusions
The Muslim world lacks the capacity to produceknowledge.
Another way of testing the degree of knowledge is the degree of diffusing knowledge.
Pakistan : 23 daily newspapers per 1000 citizens
Singapore : 460 per 1000 citizens
UK book titles per million is 2000
Egypt book titles per million is only 17


Conclusion.. .
Muslim World is failing to diffuse knowledge.
Applying knowledge is another such test.
Exports of high-tech products from Pakistan : 0.9%
In Saudi Arabia : only 0.2%
Kuwait , Morocco and Algeria : only 0.3%
Tiny Singapore (4mil pop.) : 68% ...!


Conclusion.. .
Muslim world is failing to apply knowledge.

What do you conclude?

No need to tell

The figures are speaking themselves very loudly but we are unable to use the ears Allah gave us to listen and eyes to let us see...


Advice......

Please educate yourself and your children. Excuses like lack of money, ability or opening are nothing more than that - excuses.
Always promote education, don't compromise on it.
We hate to be weak, illiterate and poor but are we too weak to give our children the opportunity to break the curse? Don't ignore your children's slightest misguidance from education... and please, for Allah's sake, don't use your personal contacts to promote your children in their education. If they fail, let them because it will make them learn the sweetness of success.
Remember...
if they can't do it now, they can't ever.With knowledge comes power, and with it even the small can rule over the big. We are world's biggest but sadly NOT strongest nation.All we need is to identify and explore our inner selves. Insha-Allah, our weapon to victory, our duty to spread God's words and our opportunity save all humankind is best through knowledge, creativity, literacy....

And nothing else.....


Wake up O khalifahs of the land ... ....


Wake up ....
