We are all part of a global society overflowing with information that can be accessed practically anywhere and at any time. We are also confronted with a chilling statistic: Approximately 850 million people around the world are illiterate, most of them in crisis regions and war zones. Even in a highly industrialized nation such as Germany, 14 percent of the population is “functionally” illiterate, according to a recent study by the University of Hamburg.

  1. education is a greatest gift of the divine to the mankind and according to the many farmans that our imam has made strive for education till the last day of your life and in the holy Qur’an Allah says that send peace and blessings on the Rasul and His progeny and that will pull you out of the deepest corner of the darkness and the tool that we have available to be able to do this is thru the removal of the poverty.
