Evolution and Crisis of the Education System in the Muslim World
This research paper explores the evolution of Muslim education from its sacred origins in the Prophetic era to the complex realities of modern Pakistan. It traces the unity of knowledge established by Imam al-Ghazali, the disruption of that unity during the colonial encounter, and Pakistan’s continuing struggle to create an education system aligned with its ideological foundations. The study argues that reform must begin with defining the Profile of the Pakistani Youth—a concept that integrates spiritual awareness, intellectual excellence, and civic responsibility. Rooted in Islamic philosophy and linked with the author’s framework on Human Resource Development for Pakistan, this paper offers a blueprint for rebuilding a moral, intellectual, and national renaissance through education.
