    Akhrisku marka hore waa qiraal… Waa qirashada in aanad ku kaaftoomayn… Waa bu’da ahaanshaha aadamaha oo ah ku dhiman, baahiyo badanna leh. Dhanka kale, akhrisku waa rajo. Waa rajada aad ka qabto in waxaas kaa dhiman laguugu yaboohi karo… Ugu dambeynta se, akhrisku waa buuxinta muggaaga qof ahaaneed. Waa u tebinta wixii aad ka korodhsatay…

Sida laga soo weriyey dadkii hore, wejigu wuxuu ahaa baasaboor meel walba lagu maro. Haddana waxa la werinayaa in baasaaboorku yahay wejiga meel walba lagu maro.

    We, the Ummah of Iqra’ (read), would be totally doomed if we cannot think, narrow-minded and intellectually stagnant if we don’t want to think, and slaves if we don’t dare to think. Education and especially Islamic education requires critical thinking, not just parroting. Read a book, write a book, plant letters in the soil, so…
