Maal Hijrah, The Gaza chronicle,the Jews and the sad thing about us.......(things to ponder)

Happy 1430 Hijrah

Happy? But situations in the Muslim world is still sad as it was 500
years ago since we relaxed our quest for knowledge. Because
of that influence and power shifted to the Christian world - and have
remained there ever since.

The figures are speaking themselves very loudly but we refuse to
listen. Some thoughts - Extracts of speech by Hafez A.B. Mohamed.
Director-General, Al Baraka Bank.



Demographics:

Why are they powerful and why are Muslims powerless?


Here's another reason... We have lost the capacity to
produce knowledge.
o In the entire Muslim world (57 Muslim countries) there
are only 500 univer siti es
o In USA alone, 5,758 univer siti es
o In India alone, 8,407 univer siti es


Not one university in the entire Islamic World features
in the Top 500 Ranking Univer siti es of the World


o Literacy in the Christian world - 90%
o Literacy in the Muslim world - 40%
o 15 Christian-majority countries' literacy rate - 100%
o Muslim-majority countries with 100% - None
o 98% in Christian countries completed primary education
o Only 50% in Muslim countries completed primary education
o 40% in Christian countries attended university
o In Muslim countries, a dismal 2% attended university
o Muslim-majority countries have 230 scientists per million
o The USA has 5000 per million
o The Christian world - 1000 technicians per million
o Entire Arab world - only 50 technicians per million
o Muslim world spending on R&D - 0.2% of GDP
o Christian world's R&D - 5.0% of GDP



Conclusions
The Muslim world lacks the capacity to produce
knowledge.

Another way of testing the degree of knowledge is the
degree of diffusing knowledge.
o Pakistan : 23 daily newspapers per 1000 citizens
o Singapore : 460 per 1000 citizens
o UK book titles per million is 2000
o Egypt book titles per million is only 17


Conclusion.. .
Muslim World is failing to diffuse knowledge.

Applying knowledge is another such test.
o Exports of high-tech products from Pakistan : 0.9%
o In Saudi Arabia : only 0.2%
o Kuwait , Morocco and Algeria : only 0.3%
o Tiny Singapore (4mil pop.) : 68% ...!

Conclusion.. .
Muslim world is failing to apply knowledge.

What do you conclude? No need to tell... The figures are speaking
themselves very loudly but we are unable to use the ears Allah gave us
to listen and eyes to let us see...



Advice
Please educate yourself and your children. Excuses like lack
of money, ability or opening are nothing more than that - excuses.

Always promote education, don't compromise on it. We hate to be weak,
illiterate and poor but are we too weak to give our children the
opportunity to break the curse?

Don't ignore your children's slightest misguidance from education...
and please, for Allah's sake, don't use your personal contacts to
promote your children in their
education. If they fail, let them because it will make them learn the
sweetness of success. Remember... if they can't do it now, they can't
ever.


With knowledge comes power, and with it even the small can rule over
the big. We are world's biggest but sadly NOT strongest nation.


All we need is to identify and explore our inner selves. Insha-Allah,
our weapon to victory, our duty to spread God's words and our
opportunity save all humankind is best through knowledge, creativity,
literacy... And nothing else.

...... Wake up O khalifahs of the land ...
