Quran and spiritual studies by Muslim students. Muslim education is usually mistakenly

the Quran and Sunnah) provides a rich reservoir of information within the trendy sciences such
as medication, genetics, and biology. Naqli (revealed knowledge) isn't all concerning recitation
scriptures from Al-Quran; rather it emphasizes a physical and religious balance between
everything. The abstract problems in this paper area unit the purpose of education, functions
of the pen, the purpose of man, integration of the course of study, instructor’s leadership
within the class, instructor’s Islamic information and motivation.

anthropocosmic vision. Maybe a review of the specifically Muslim reading of the importance of
human embodiment will throw some light-weight on our up to date difficulty. (Faryadi, 2015)

for any person whose religion is in Allah and the Last Day and [who] Evokes Allah of times.”
