Education and their examinations are the new ‘ false gods‘ the Muslims are being obedient to. It is sad that we give it so much importance that we can sacrifice anything for it.
The Sahaba sacrificed everything for the sake of Islam, and today we can’t sacrifice a degree or a school certificate for the sake of following Allah’s Religion.
Allah said in The Qur’an: And [yet], among the people are those who take other than Allah as equals [to Him]. They love them as they [should] love Allah . But those who believe are stronger in love for Allah .
And if only they who have wronged would consider [that] when they see the punishment, [they will be certain] that all power belongs to Allah and that Allah is severe in punishment. (Qur’an 2:165)
There are people today who claim to love Allah, but in reality they show more love to the worldly education.
So much so that they are ready to sacrifice Imaan & Fard acts of worship, commit major sins, just for the sake of their love for the Dunya and the worldly education.
If any Muslim (and I have seen hundreds of Muslim parents like this) believes that till the child completes his/her desired education, he/she can do- prayers of Shirk, miss any Fard Namaz, miss Jumuah, not wear the proper Hijab (not just headscarf), etc from obligatory things, then they’re not Muslims, they should learn Islam again.
Then comes the question: But moderm education (in Un-Islamic Institutes) also has some benefits right?
Education is important, but that is not connected to seeking knowledge in places where there is the garbage of modernism, liberalism and humanism. Education can be sought from other permissible means. If you wish to, you will find those means.
“Whoever fears Allah, Allah will find a way out for him (from every difficulty)…” (Quran 65:2)
Seeking ‘education’ in a liberal Un-Islamic setup is like seeking benefits from drinking wine and gambling, because Allah said that alcohol and gambling also have some benefits.
“They ask you about wine and gambling. Say, “In them is great sin and [yet, some] benefit for people. But their sin is greater than their benefit.” (Quran 2:219)
Similarly the harms and dangers in the modern universities is far far greater.
May Allah guide the Muslims.
Especially the religious ones who sport a beard and their wives wear the full Hijab, yet their sons and daughters are going to such institutions, abandoning obligations and doing Haram.
May Allah guide this Ummah to love Allah more than these degrees which may make them loose their Deen.
To be honest, I don’t like to write such things online. But almost every other day I get to speak to college students who have left Islam conciously by becoming atheists or subconsciously (indirectly) by becoming liberal, LGBT supporters and/or agnostic. The situation has reached epidemic levels and is more dangerous to the Ummah than any anti-Islamic right wing group or Corona Virus or any plague.
These liberal Muslims are going to be parents in the future and our leaders as well. And their hearts are filled with ideologies of Kufr! May Allah guide all of us.
