It is an established fact that the rise and
fall of nations is directly associated with their
love for knowledge and progress in different
fields of education, particularly in the field of
humanities. Humanities are primarily important
because they equip humanity with the basic tools
of religion and ethics along with the worldly
knowledge and, thus, help people discriminate
between true and false, good and bad. Such are
the thoughts of AllamaNaurasi and that is why
he developed a coherent and comprehensive
methodology of learning where one may be able
to build a holistic worldview and thus acquires
the capability to learn about life in a broader
interconnected perspective.
In order to provide a practical and
visible illustration of his theory of knowledge,
AllamaNaurasi established a school named as
Al- Zahra. Through this institute, he called upon
the Muslims of the world and tried to awaken
them from slumber, and laid the foundations of a
revolutionary change in Islamic education. He
revived the Islamic idea of acquiring beneficial
knowledge and reminded the Muslims that
wisdom is their inheritance and they need to get
it from wherever they could find it. He made itclear that religiosity and urbanization are not
contradictory to each other, rather they can go
hand in hand.
Furthermore, he nullified the concept
that Islam disapproves scientific knowledge and
developments. This research paper is an effort to
highlight the role of AllamaNaurasi in
reconciliation of Islamic and worldly education.
This approach of AllamaNaurasi has been
analyzed hereby through the case-study of his
school Al-Zahra. Apart from this school, he
established many other institutes that work on
the same principal and launched a movement
entitled “Annor” in order to propagate this
notion. This movement serves as a bridge
between traditional and modern paradigms of
education and thus paves the way for a much
needed revolution in the field of Islamic
education.
