Islam has, from its inception, placed a high premium on education and has enjoyed a long and rich intellectual tradition. Knowledge (lm) occupies a significant position within Islam, as evidenced by the more than 800 references to it in Islam's most revered book, the Qur'an. The importance of education is repeatedly emphasized in the Qur'an with frequent injunctions, such as in chaptersAl-Mujadilah:11; Thaha:114; al- Baqarah:282, in which such verses provide a forceful stimulus for the Islamic community to strive for education and learning.
