Islamabad: Islamic Scholar Dr Zakir Naik on Tuesday emphasised that education is incredibly important in Islam for social development to provide equal opportunities to learn, grow and prosper.
Delivering a lecture organised by the Pakistan Sweet Homes, he underscored the need to acquire the religious and terrestrial knowledge for a complete life.
“The first word revealed to Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) was “read” – a critical component in attaining knowledge,” he said.
Referring to the Quranic verses, he highlighted the significance of knowledge and learning being emphasised upon the Muslims at the forefront of discovery and intellect above all others in the world.
He also highlighted the need for unity among the Muslim Ummah, urging Muslim nations to set aside their differences and unite under the guidance of the Holy Quran and Sunnah.
He reiterated that Islam was a complete code of life, advocating for peace, tolerance, and love.
On the occasion, a special documentary on orphans was showcased, illustrating more than 10,000 children receiving essential support, including food, access to education, vital medical care, and treatment in the Sweet Homes.
In his remarks, Patron-in-Chief of Pakistan Sweet Home, Zamurrad Khan, expressed gratitude and thanked Dr Zakir Naik for his visit and unwavering support in education, co-curricular activities, and orphan care.
