Lack of Knowledge Makes Muslim Too Weak

Assalamualaikum .

People around the world have heard about the state or condition of Islamic countries. Many of Islamic countries are included in less developed country or at least as the developed country. All of these happen due to our behave and attitude as Muslims. We do not really care about gathering a lot of knowledge or even go to study in school. I agree that many of us around the world are not capable to give education to our children. However, this cannot be a major reason or an obstacle which make us as Muslim do not have education as in the Al-Quran stated that knowledge is very important. Look back in the Surah Al-Alaq, it is the first Ayat which ask our beloved Prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h. and also to the all of Muslim to read. "Read with the name of Allah who creates all creatures". Therefore, in my opinion it is important for us to study and study and improve our knowledge especially about Islam.

If Muslim around the world aware of the important of knowledge and education, I am absolutely sure that Muslim community including Muslim countries may become the most developed and grand society among others. Why not, we already proved that before. Without knowledge every country cannot develop. Although their country have many natural resources which can be used to develop the country, they need people who are talented and have skill to use the sources.

Lastly, I hope that we including me can develop ourselves first by studying to develop the whole Islamic world.
