Muslims, Follow Your First Commandment: “READ!” [Quote - 60]

Published By Categorised as Quote-Unquote, Quote-Unquote – Book I (1-100)

“The very first command issued by God in the Qur’an to humanity says: “Read!”

If Muslims had internalized this core message of Islam to any degree, wouldn’t education be the highest priority in the lives of Muslims? And wouldn’t Muslim societies be models of educational attainment and excellence today?

And wouldn’t their educational supremacy have solved all their problems and set them free?” (Dr. Pasha)
