Thus it is certainly time to take a long and careful look at the institution of education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt seems we have three perspectives on this: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst, an unquestioning embrace of academia and existing secular educational institutions from the creche, kindergarten and primary school upwards; \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecond, a retreat from the above to purely 'Islamic' sources, or what we might call 'the madrasa'; \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThird, a syncretic combination of both of those hoping to gain the best of both worlds. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fourth way is here explored by the authors: gaining from the insight of the late Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir as-Sufi that, \"Islam is not a culture, but a filter for culture,\" assiduously and critically taking the best of the Western canon along with the most traditional possible Islamic perspective. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt must be emphasised that this is not a theoretical text, for it emerges from communities that have consistently engaged with their own educational models which these papers represent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Uthman Ibrahim-Morrison,Shaykh Abdalqadir As-Sufi,Muhammad Mujtar Medinilla\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1914397401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781914397400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Diwan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/23\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Uthman Ibrahim-Morrison","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47474490048767,"sku":"9781914397400","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_766632e6-f859-403d-9f08-86ba253dc37c.jpg?v=1762317076","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/islam-education-uthman-ibrahim-morrison-9781914397400","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
