Education is a way of life if it is based on solid pillars that cannot rust, change or wear out. If this education is associated with the Qur'an, Sunnah, language and science, it will inevitably be a reliable way of life, a route to the path of truth, a gift and a guidance that dispels the darkness, blocks the outlet of hatred, extremism and conflicts and opens human horizons for good and peace.
Education, which is based on the telling of truth and virtue and on the teachings of grace, ethical principles and high human values in dealing with the body and the soul and with the self and the other, is a systematic goal to change life and to direct its compass towards the light where it emits radiation that carries absolute values. The Holy Quran is never approached by falsehood, and the Sunnah is the sayings the truth, and the tongue of truth. Guidance and knowledge are a weapon of peace in the face of injustice.
His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah said: “I said earlier in my speech at the Sharjah Government Communication Forum that I will come back from the beginning to rectify what has been lost. As I promised people I did, I worked from the beginning and started with nurseries. Now, I will work on the promotion of kindergartens, followed by primary, intermediate and secondary schools until I help join universities under my personal care. This educational series will work in all its episodes according to a continuous integrated approach from nursery to university. It should work according to three pillars, first: Quran and Sunnah, second: Arabic language and its vocabulary of poetry, literature and prose and others, and third: science. Accordingly, I guarantee this person access to the finest universities without the need for a preparatory year ».
Adequate educational curriculum will not change the shape of life but will result in lives changing the content and form of the human. It is the new man, who was raised by Sultan's Adequate & Complete Curriculum and Sultan who direct his concerns towards the affairs of Man and who is entirely preoccupied with his internal structures in order to form an intact cohesive society and a creative man capable of changing and breathing life in places and things. It is a sustainable curriculum of life that does not end with the end of the education cycle; it is continuous as long as life grows like a plant that grows and drinks from a clear, fresh, refined river that is free from any impurities, well-designed, detailed, facilitated and certain.
The beginning may be difficult in the advanced process of education, especially as the educator today is engaged in several directions and tendencies with several tools, some of which are similar, and some are alien to him. This is in order to be based on the pillars mentioned above. Educators should be rehabilitated and educated so as not to distort the sower. As long as good intentions and serious endeavors are the tools, the odds must be overcome and erased. Inevitably, Sultan's adequate & complete approach will see the light.
