Real Reason of the Growth of Madrassas in Pakistan

Family of the Heart - DIALOGUE & DISCUSSIONS 

Noble work by Mr. Greq Mortinson:
 
The noble work being done by Mr. Greg Mortinson to spread education in remote areas of Pakistan which are usually controlled by the extremist and non educated Mullahs should be highly appreciated by all Pakistanis and particularly by our government. And the education department instead of embezziling money and foreign aid should assist and help Mr. Greg to spread education as the first Ayats in Surah Al Alaq(96) pertains to get educated to learn and understand the Quran. You may write a letter to the government to help Mr. Greq and send us our appreciation to him also. The terrorism and suicide bombings in our country have spread due to lack of education and Quranic knowledge among the tribal areas of NWFP. They are blowing up girls schools terming them un-Islamic. The extremist Mullahs who have become the religious heads or priests/bishops of our uneducated people exploit the religion to the fullest extent to indulge in various deviations.
 
The need of the hour is that since Pakistan is an Islamic State hence all religious matters including Masajids, Madressahs, publication of religious literature etc. should be under government control through an Ulema Council to manage these matters in a progressive way. The Madressahs should be merged into schools in a phased manner as Islam is Deen and Dunya both not seperately as in Christianity, Budhism, Hinduism, Sikhism etc. Quranic translations should be compulsorily taught and explained in schools to make our students fully conversant with the Islamic injunctions instead of depending on our Mullahs/priests to get exploited. All religious parties/Tehriks, groupings should be banned in the best interest of Islam as in Arab countries to free our glorious religion of Islam from the clutches of these exploiters and uneducated Mullahs. Your organisation shoudl start a campaign and pass a resolution in a meeting to end religous exploitation.
