  We Must First Know The Disease Before Thinking About
                       Curing It
We Are Becoming Victims Of World Views Engendered (created) By Others Who Do Not
                           Share Islam’s First Principles.
If We Don’t Know How We Should View Truth And What Truth Exactly Is..Then We Easily
                   Adopt Anything That Is Available For Display..
That’s The Moment When The Ignorance At First Instance Is Replaced By Second Type Of
                                     Ignorance.

Jahl baseet is the lesser and lighter of the two types, it is that a person simply does not know
 a matter, accepts he does not know, says he does not know, and does not claim knowledge

                                       The New Dumbness
  Ordinary People Send Their Children To School To Get
Smart, But the thing that is taught by the Modern Schooling
                        Is Dumbness
        Old fashioned dumbness=simple ignorance

 The knowledge of unseen definitely lies with Allah and some access to it
was given to the prophets. We as Muslims, traditionally know that unseen
    exists. Whatever we can see, much more beyond that is existing.
Imam Jaafar As-Sadeq: “Let your child be free to play until they reach the
 age of seven. For the next seven years, keep a watchful eye on him, and
    finally befriend him for another seven year. Then if he succeeds;
                   otherwise, there is no good in him.”

This is an Islamic model which says that one should start serious study at the age of
7, which is memorization of Quran firmly.
Children have massive capacity for absorbing information but very less
understanding, this fact is obvious, for any one who have an ounce of reflection.
You will not find any previous Muslim civilisation whose education system was not
based on the memorization of the Quran. You cannot find.
Muslim civilizations that have developed science, ethics, government, technology,
philosophy, etc. had their foundations on at least 3 to 4 years of Quran
memorization
     ‘Evolutions end’ by Joseph Chilton Pierce, has something that you can take or leave. But his
     argument is really extraordinary in it.
     He says, All the infant child and adult as well naturally are inclined to do the things that nature
     intends. (Now they call God – Nature, which is just semantics here). The thing that nature intends
     them to do is Learn, build those structures of knowledge. And all that is needed for this is an
     appropriate environment. Being surrounded by a mature, intelligent, intellectual, open minded,
     possibilities and tempered (strengthened) by hearts wisdom, recognizing that all may be possible
     to the humans, but always asking that exercising or using that potential is appropriate or not.
     The human potential is really unlimited. But the question, is it appropriate. But this question or
     judgement of asking whether its usage is appropriate or not, can only be answered by a human
     being that has been nurtured and educated in a way in which the moral, ethical, and spiritual being
     of that person has been enhanced, and not stunted (prevented from growing or developing).
And children that are taught before that age, you can see a qualitative difference in their
being and behaviour. They don’t look as healthy, as other children and mostly not as bright
as other children in a spiritual sense. Children radiate (emit out) this brightness and when
they don’t radiate it, then definitely something is putting it out.
