The Distinctive Features of Religious Schools

of biology—something that those educated in nonreligious institutions have failed to find despite over a century of costly intellectual endeavours. 5. A person educated in a secular institution, based on the philosophy of life they are taught, ends up with an incomplete view of life. They know the beginning of life, but they do not know its end. They may understand where to start their activities in this world, but they have no knowledge of what their final destination is or what kind of preparation they need to make for the end of life. They may begin their life seemingly in the light, but eventually, when they reach the later stages of life, their existence ends up wandering in unknown darkness. The situation is entirely different for a person educated in a religious seminary. The educated individual here, based on their Quranic background, is fully aware of where to begin their life’s journey and what their final destination is. Such a person stands on the clear conviction that this world is merely a path, and the world of the Hereafter is the true destination. 6. In secular institutions, the prevailing philosophy of life portrays humans as pleasure-seeking animals. According to this philosophy, the natural consequence is that a person makes the pursuit of pleasure and happiness the sole purpose of their life. Consequently, today, all individuals educated in secular institutions live their lives guided by this singular objective.
