44 SOLUTION THE VALUES OF THE QUR'AN

receive schooling on the basis of their interests, tendencies and skills

proves to be more beneficial to the society and more productive.
However, in our day, economic and social conditions force many people
to terminate their schooling prematurely or continue it in a field in which
they are not interested.
Living by the Qur'an addresses such social problems and brings
solutions, since the environment these values ensure does not allow for
inadequate educational services. Endowed with the wisdom and the
faculty of comprehension that adhering to the Qur'an brings, people act
as solution-providers in education, as they do in all other spheres of life.
Furthermore, in such a society, no prejudicial distinction between poor
and wealthy exists. As mentioned earlier, those who love Allah spend
what they do not need for the benefit of others. Once these accumulations
are channeled into the many fields demanding immediate solution such
as public education and health, it takes only a moment for these problems
to be solved. If this were adopted around the globe, the distinction
between poor and wealthy countries would fade. Rich countries would

transfer their excess resources to underdeveloped countries without
expecting anything in return.
Providing solutions is surely a major task for which Muslims are
responsible since they are held responsible for providing young people
the sort of education that will guide them in living according to the
Qur'an. This is the type of education that illuminates a person about his
or her actual purpose in life, and shows them the signs of Allah on the
earth and in the universe. If this does not happen, new generations, who
become the subjects of the indoctrination of irrelevant disbelieving
ideologies, will grow into non-productive adults of little use to their
country, nation and religion. Improper education provided for young
people accounts for their adopting undesirable lifestyles and

consequently being devoid of the blessings the true religion presents and
going astray. Surely, a man with fear of Allah and conscience would not
risk this responsibility.
