Question:
We have learned from the friends of the scholars, or from the companions of the friends of the scholars, the true meaning of civilization and its components. So what is the closest and fastest path to raising the reality of the Muslims, which is far from your expression?
Answer:
The closest, easiest, and most beneficial path is cooperation in righteousness and piety, spreading beneficial knowledge among people in institutes and schools, reforming educational curricula, bringing the righteous and teachers closer, and keeping the wicked away. All of this is part of building strength, and all of this is righteous work, righteous work: spreading beneficial knowledge among people, spreading beneficial curricula, and spreading beneficial schools, institutes, and colleges. Bringing the righteous teachers and others closer, and keeping the wicked away. Truthfulness in all of this from the rulers, the scholars, the notables of the Muslims, and the students. If truthfulness comes in all of this, then great and swift good will come.
If these matters prevail and the head is not raised by them, the affliction will continue. And Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, says:[Ash-Shuraa 42:30] And indeed, our misfortune is from what our hands have earned. So if we reform what we have corrupted, if we reform our curricula, our schools, and our institutes, and we cooperate in righteousness and piety with our rulers, our scholars, our judges, and all others who have a role, if this happens, then the great good will come, happiness will come, and victory with support will come, by the permission of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He.
