of all that exists (science who are interested in achieving a genuine truth).

As the most perfect religion he is prepared to become a way of life throughout the ages or until the end of the day. Islam is not just a set way to get happiness in the next life, worship and submission to God alone, but also specifies how to get the joys of living in the world including arranging educational problems. Source to regulate the issue of education as well as to regulate the life of the world and the hereafter is the al-Quran and al-Sunnah.

Steps taken by the Qur'an this turned out to be strategic in efforts to raise the dignity of human life. Is now clearly recognized that education is a bridge that ferrying people from backwardness to progress, and from humiliation to glory, as well as from oppression became independent.
