“Education” is not synonymous with “schooling”. For a Muslim,

education is not confined to the school but must include the Muslim’s

formal, informal and non-formal learning; acquiring knowledge as

well in gaining practical life experiences, etc. As such it is not about

attending Madrasah or non-Madrasah type of school.

The mainstream schooling (some may call it as ‘education’)

although is regarded as “secular” because it dichotomizes belief in

God in its pursuit of knowledge, still has a place for Muslims because

Islam regards all wisdom and sciences as part of the “...lost treasure

of the believers (Hadith)” and must be sought after.

It is the onus upon the Muslims (educators) to Islamize such

knowledge - to link it back to the TAUHEEDIC framework, philosophy,

aims and objectives of Islam.

Also, TAUHEEDIC framework emphasizes not merely the

intellectual development alone - but includes awareness of Muslims

personal and community responsibilities, as well as development of

their Islamic moral/character.

Allah commands us to “Read” , His Signs (Aayat) in His name.

Qur’an categorize these (information) or “Qur’an categorize these (information) or “SignsSigns” – ” – aayataayat ( ( ) as:) as:

[1] Al-Qur’an – [1] Al-Qur’an – aayat Qawliyyahaayat Qawliyyah

[2] Universe – [2] Universe – aayat Kauniyahaayat Kauniyah

Thus Muslim parents (who knows this) seek to compensate their

children’s education by supplementing it with the Islamic inputs

(presently being provided for in the mosques or at home).

Unfortunately many be experimenting their own “cut and paste”

approach, seeking to “integrate” – but without the right knowledge,

may end up producing “hybrids”.

When we strive to understand deeper a given object of

knowledge, seeking to discover whatever profound meanings contain

within it, requiring much thinking, contemplation in processing our

thoughts while interacting with the information, till we uncover layers

upon layers of meanings, thereby increasing our understanding, we

are adding quality and it is this this mode of acquisition which I deem

as “vertical”.

grossly misperceived because too often, we imply increase only in
