World has never seen so many literate yet ignorant people like today: Maulana Sajjad Nomani
Bhatkal: Renowned religious scholar and former spokesperson of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, Maulana Khalil-ur-Rahman Sajjad Nomani, delivered a thought-provoking speech at the "Rabita Educational Excellence Award Ceremony" in Bhatkal. The event was organized by the Rabita Society to honor outstanding students.
During the ceremony, Maulana Nomani distributed gold medals and award certificates to meritorious students, emphasizing the transformative power of education. He highlighted how the Prophet of Islam transformed a society steeped in ignorance into a model society through the power of education.
Maulana Nomani criticized the current education system, noting that it focuses on teaching lessons rather than fostering true learning. He pointed out the difference between merely reading and genuinely understanding, lamenting that today's world is filled with literate individuals who lack true wisdom. He noted that history has never seen so many educated individuals who are simultaneously ignorant, as evidenced by the fact that many involved in corruption are well-educated yet lack ethical grounding.
He argued that true education lies in awakening moral and social values, not just acquiring knowledge. He lamented that 80 crore people in India live in poverty despite the country’s aspirations to be a global leader in knowledge and innovation. He also expressed concern about the youth being entangled in the complexities of information technology without a solid foundation in values.
The event also featured speeches from Chief Qazi of Jamaat-e-Muslimeen Maulana Khawaja Moinuddin Akrami Madani and Deputy Qazi Maulana Ansar Khatib Madani, both of whom underscored the importance of education in fostering a responsible society.
Rabita Society President Umar Farooq Musbah presided over the event, while General Secretary Dr. Atiqur Rehman Muniri delivered the welcome address. The ceremony honored 35 students who excelled in their SSLC, PUC, and graduation exams.
Prominent community leaders, including President of Anjuman Hami-e-Muslimeen Bhatkal, Muhammad Yunus Qazia, and General Secretary Ishaq Shabandri, graced the event. Other notable attendees included Maulana Muhammad Hussain Jukaku, General Secretary of Jamaat-ul-Muslimeen, Jamia Islamia President Maulana Talha Nadvi, Majlis Islah Wa Tanzeem General Secretary Abdul Raqib MJ Nadvi, and Jilani Mohtsham, General Secretary of Bhatkal Muslim Jamaat Dubai.
On the women's stage, Fahmida Khizr and Roshan Maliki of New Shams School were present. The program was compered by Tanveer Jushidi Nadvi and Athar Peerzade.

AR Rahman sends notice to 'slanderers' over speculations surrounding separation with Saira Banu
Chennai, Nov 23: Music composer AR Rahman on Saturday issued a warning to individuals speculating about his separation from his wife, Saira Banu.
Taking to social media on Saturday, the 57-year-old musician shared a three-page legal notice addressing those spreading defamatory and "objectionable" content targeting him and his family.
"Notice to all slanderers from ARR's Legal Team," Rahman wrote on X.
It comes days after Rahman and Saira Banu announced that they are ending their marriage of 29 years.
The notice provides a 24-hour window for the removal of such content, stating that failure to comply could result in legal consequences under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
"My client informs the hatemongers and sharers of abusive contents to remove the objectionable content within the next one hour and a maximum time duration of 24 hours," read the notice.
Rahman’s legal team said the actions of these individuals not only tarnish his reputation but also cause distress to his family.
Rahman and Banu tied the knot in 1995 and share three children-- daughters Khatija, Raheema, and son Ameen.
