Muslim scholars stress need for modern education

Religious scholars in a seminar on Tuesday said it was imperative for the Muslims around the world to make modern education their top priority. A number of national and international religious scholars said this during a seminar, The Emerging Challenges and the Responsibilities of Islamic Scholars, organised by Pakistan Institute for Peace Studies (PIPs). The seminar was conducted to promote interaction, peace and harmony between international Islamic scholars and Pakistani religious scholars.

PIPs Director Muhammad Amir Rana welcomed the participants and termed it a remarkable opportunity to resolve various issues of the present Muslim world.

Council of Islamic Ideology Chairman Senator Muhammad Khan Shirani, while speaking at the inaugural ceremony as chief guest, said that it was imperative for Muslims to stop finding faults in others for failures and should focus on soul-searching to redress the emerging issues. Shirani said that commonalities among the majority of humanity must be highlighted instead of focusing on differences only. It was a responsibility of religious scholars to promote peace and tolerance in the society, Shirani added.

University of Peshawar Vice Chancellor Dr Qibla Ayaz said it was unfortunate that in Muslim world, education was deemed spending, whereas, rest of the world considered it investment. Ayaz said that history of extremism is evident that it was bound to fail. Therefore, he said, it was a responsibly of intelligentsia and religious scholars to come forward and educate people about celebrating differences and keeping unity despite differences.
