The front page of The Sun today flash a headline of "Test of our humanity".
It is beyond races and religion. As Israel troops edged closer to the heart of Gaza City (a city of 500,000 population) yesterday, on the 19th day of an offensive that defies international condemnation, has so far killed at least 1,000 and wounded 4,000 Palestinians, damm Zionist do their best and the world just watching the violence movie so helplessly. It is a test of our humanity really...make us wonder why the bloody zionist so bad and arrogant?
My colleague Shahrir send me an email this morning and I feel like sharing the facts with you all...
The truth is the situations in the Muslim world is at a very sorry stage. 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) to ponder..

Why are they powerful and why are Muslims powerless?
Here's another reason... We have lost the capacity to produce knowledge.
- In the entire Muslim world (57 Muslim countries) there are only 500 universities
- In USA alone, 5,758 universities
- In India alone, 8,407 universities
- Not one university in the entire Islamic World features in the Top 500 Ranking Universities of the World
- Literacy in the Christian world - 90%
- Literacy in the Muslim world - 40%
- 15 Christian-majority countries' literacy rate - 100%
- Muslim-majority countries with 100% literacy rate - None
- 98% in Christian countries completed primary education
- Only 50% in Muslim countries completed primary education
- 40% in Christian countries attended university
- In Muslim countries, a dismal 2% attended university
- Muslim-majority countries have 230 scientists per million
- The USA has 5000 per million
- The Christian world - 1000 technicians per million
- Entire Arab world - only 50 technicians per million
- Muslim world spending on R&D - 0.2% of GDP
- Christian world's R&D - 5.0% of GDP
Conclusion
The Muslim world lacks the capacity to produce knowledge.
Another way of testing the degree of knowledge is the degree of diffusing knowledge.
- Pakistan: 23 daily newspapers per 1000 citizens
- Singapore: 460 per 1000 citizens
- UK book titles per million is 2000
- Egypt book titles per million is only 17
Conclusion.. .
Muslim World is failing to diffuse knowledge.
Applying knowledge is another such test.
- Exports of high-tech products from Pakistan : 0.9%
- In Saudi Arabia : only 0.2%
- Kuwait, Morocco and Algeria : only 0.3%
- 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 ...
.... Wake up ...IQRA''
