Holy Qur'an (28:77) Islamic education is a process of building people to enable them to lead a good and healthy life.

This process cannot be separated from Islamic goals, their view of man, motives, behaviour elements as well as the material and moral aspects of human existence. Correct Islamic upbringing is concerned with all human activities and inspired from Islamic laws and norms. It develops human body, spirit, ethics, mind and emotions, etc. This topic shall deal succinctly with all aspects of Islamic education.

This is in order to draw main lines of the educational process and visualize Islamic picture of man and his personality. The first subject that shall be dealt with, is the human body and its proper care. Islamic teachings encourage physical training and development of the human body.

It provides guidance for sexual, intellectual, social and knowledge seeking instincts which are wonderfully satisfied and protected against deviation.

Everyone on earth and in the universe would beseech (Allah's) pardon for the knowledge-seeker, even a whale in the ocean.
