The legendary Abdul Basit – 1956

The Unforgettable Recitation by Ustad Abdul Basit in The Harram of Imam Kadhim and Jawad a.s. In 1956, the Islamic world witnessed a moment of profound spiritual beauty. The mother of King Faisal II of Iraq had passed away and to honor her memory, a memorial ceremony was held in Baghdad. Among the guests were some of the most renowned Quran reciters from Egypt. The legendary Abdul Basit, along with Abdul Fattah Shasha’i and Abu Al-Aynayn Shaisha’, were invited to lend their voices to the occasion. But it was Abdul Basit’s recitation that would etch this event into history. Standing in the sacred city of Kadhimayn, he was overcome by the spiritual energy of the gathering. Before he began, he sought permission from the noble Imams buried there—Imam Musa al-Kadhim (AS) and Imam Muhammad al-Jawad (AS). With a heart full of […]

Comparing Qur’anic Education with the UN 2030 Plan

This Arabic‑language master’s thesis, “Human Education Between the Holy Qur’an and the United Nations 2030 Agenda,” conducts a systematic comparison of educational concepts derived from the Qur’an with those set out in the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, especially Goal 4 (quality education) and Goal 5 (gender equality). After outlining the Qur’anic pedagogical framework—its spiritual‑moral orientation, emphasis on worship, family, and justice—the author examines each UN target, highlighting points of convergence (universal access, lifelong learning) and major divergences (secular worldview, gender‑identity definitions, acceptance of certain sexual norms). The study concludes that, because of these fundamental ideological gaps, the UN 2030 agenda cannot be reconciled with Islamic education and should be rejected in favor of a Qur’an‑based educational model. Below is a one page summary of the thesis in English, Arabic and Farsi.
