What was the Islamic view about learning?
In general, the purpose of education is to serve only to God (Abdullah, 1989)1. As God is divined and he loves all the goodness, man should be good too. On this point, many Muslim scholars (Hadi, 1979; Al-Attas, 1991) referred man as “the image of God” (vicegerent of God), because he partaked the transcendence of God.
How has the Islamic perspective influenced education?

What Quran says about study?
“And those who strive in Our (cause), – We will certainly guide them to our Paths: For verily Allah is with those who do right” [Quran, 29:69]. We must remember that studying and gaining knowledge is an active act of worship – it will not always be easy and remains a form of constant struggle.
