Also, why is religion taught at schools, but not at universities? Does that mean that university students do not need religious education or had they already had enough religious knowledge and there is no more to learn or discuss? If this is the case, then why do we see different ideological currents in the universities which divert students’ minds away from their religion and put them astray in all directions?
Maybe students have studied religion before reaching the universities and now turned away from it and are no longer feeling the need to engage in religious discussions. The fact that the educational system avoided religion shocked the young boy. He remembered that the term “God” is missing from all textbooks. He also remembered that the state’s law punishes whoever stands against the leader’s law but doesn’t punish those standing against God’s laws.
He thought that all citizens were forced to obey the leaders, but not obligated to obey God. That’s why whoever curses the leader is imprisoned but the one who curses God is not. He was terrified by the fact that he’s living in a society where people turn away from God and do not obey His laws while they have to submit to the leader and his laws. This society worships the leader but not God. This society assigned the leader to be worshiped instead of God.
He remembered a story that his father once narrated: One day some Christians called on the Prophet while he was reciting the following verse: “ They take their priests and their monks to be their lords in derogation of Allah .” The Christians objected that they didn’t take their priests and monks as their lord in derogation of Allah.
The Prophet replied: “The priests have allowed Christians what is forbidden and for bided what is allowed and people obeyed them.” Thus, they worshipped the priests not God.” The young boy concluded that the society worshipped the leader instead of God which made him shout: There is no god but God and we don’t worship anyone other than Him. Our trust is in Him, even if polytheists disagree.
He suddenly stopped thinking and asked himself: “Isn’t it true that those people say: There is no god but God? So how come they don’t fear saying it? And why doesn’t the leader hold them responsible for saying there is no god but God?” So they don’t know the importance of this phrase because they don’t know its meaning.
