Education of the Interior (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

This illuminating collection celebrates the profound legacy of Professor Syed Ali Ashraf, a transformative figure in Muslim education, culture, and spirituality. Renowned for his emphasis on "The Interior"-the core of human character and behaviour-Professor Ashraf championed education that harmonises rational thought with spiritual development.

Through essays by leading scholars, this festschrift explores his multidimensional contributions as a poet, educator, and spiritual leader. It explores his pioneering efforts to integrate divine principles into modern education, his vision of the relationship between God, man, and nature, and his belief in nurturing noble character.

Akbar Ahmed lauds him as "one of the most important Muslim scholars of the last few decades," while others affirm his enduring impact on faith-based education. From founding the Islamic Academy in Cambridge to organising global conferences, Professor Ashraf's efforts continue to inspire a new generation of educators and thinkers.

A tribute to a remarkable legacy, this volume offers fresh insights into the intellectual and spiritual foundations of modern Muslim education.
