The Harms of Illiteracy
1. Illiteracy is a big curse, it has many
disadvantages
2. An illiterate person is totally
ignorant of his rights and duties
3. In Islam , acquisition of knowledge is
obligatory
4. An educated person is always successful
in his life, he understands well the purpose of his life
5. Material progress is always within
reach of an literate person
6. It is the duty of Government to
provide education to all the people
To be illiterate is a bad thing. Every person
in this life has some great purpose. An illiterate person is not aware of the
cause of his creation. He is unable to read books and cannot understand the mysteries
of this universe. He does not know anything about God and His Prophet (PBUH).
He remains unaware of the realities of this world.
An uneducated person is unaware of his rights
and duties. He does not know that what are his basics rights and how to get his
basic rights. He is even blind to his duties. He does not know the law of his
country. He is unable to know the right and wrong policies of any government.
He cannot use his power of vote rightly.
The illiterate persons always remain poor and
backward in their life. They cannot make a rapid progress in life. They cannot
be well verse in trade and commerce. They cannot do a successful business. They
cannot seek government jobs even.
Our religion Islam focuses on acquisition of
knowledge. Knowledge is a property of a Muslim. The Holy prophet (PBUH) has
urged the Muslims to acquire knowledge even if they have to go to China. He
said, “The ink of a scholar is more sacred than the blood of a martyred.” The great
scholar Plato once said, “ If you want to judge the quality of a civilization,
have a look at its teachers.”
An educated person has many advantages in his
life. He knows his rights and duties well. He is always mannerly. His
personality is always attractive. He can understands the policies of the government
well and take part in constructive criticism. He recognizes his God and follows
the teachings of Prophet (PBUH). He performs his religious duties in a decent
manner. He sets high goals and targets in life and tries his best to achieve
them.
Good jobs always awaits for an educated and
experienced person. He plays an active role in the economic development of his
country. At every work place like offices, factories and shops, an educated
person works well and successfully. He is fully equipped to work and manipulate
the computer.
An educated person plays an active part in
farming and agriculture. He establishes the agriculture system on the modern
bases. He uses his skills well. He uses modern technology in agriculture
system. He gets maximum production by using these modern and latest skills in
agriculture.
It is the duty of a state to play active role
in the spread of education. It is state responsibility to provide free
education to the masses. There must be uniformity in education system. Government
should focus on adult education. Afternoon schools must be launched for the
people who cannot attend morning schools. The children who are not going to
schools, they should be motivated to go to schools. Attractive salary packages
with perks should be given to the teachers.
