Revitalizing Higher Education in the Muslim World
The most important question facing Muslims at this point in time and on this particular issue is: where does one begin? The answer is with self-reform. The beginning of Islamic reform lies in the reforming of every Muslim soul remedying the distortions in their ideological vision, cultural motivation, intellectual approach, and educational discourse.
Reformers are right when they mobilize themselves to improve education, regarding it as one of the most important and the strongest building blocks of a nation. Unfortunately, due to their quantitative orientation, as in all other things, reformative action has remained superficial. It addresses appearances and is based on duplication and the imitation of all types of capable people. Thus, it blindly follows others in darkness, stumbling as it goes and where the road forks out, it does not know where to turn.
(AbdulHamid AbuSulayman, Revitalizing Higher Education in the Muslim World: A Case Study of the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), IIIT, p. 4 & 5)
