AhlulBayt News Agency: The head of the Karachi Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) said Islam is not opposed to modern education and encourages literacy, research and progress.
Hafiz Naeemur Rehman made the remark on Sunday while addressing a three-day workshop for female students held at the Idara Noor-e-Haq, the Karachi JI headquarters, Karachi, Pakistan.
It was organized by the Islami Jamiat Taalbat. Speaking on the occasion, he said Islam was a complete code of life that provided guidelines for all spheres of life.
Contrary to capitalism that deepened the line between the rich and poor by helping the rich become more and more rich and pushing the poor towards extreme poverty, he said, the Islamic system did not encourage people to become poorer or helpless as it wanted everyone to progress with the support of a social system.
He added that the Islamic system of governance ensured equal educational opportunities for all.
The JI leader urged the female students to focus on their studies and play their due role for society. He encouraged them to raise awareness about the need for an Islamic system of governance in the country.
A large number of female students from colleges, universities and other professional institutes participated in the worskhop.
