1000 Years After al-Biruni

Can English-Medium Education Produce the Next Generation of Great Muslim Scientists?

Join The Critical Conversation

📅 SATURDAY, 20TH june | ⏰ 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM📍 THE LEARNING CIRCLE Off Amir Khusro Road

Are we training the next al-Biruni? A millennium has passed since the Golden Age of Islamic Science, a period defined by polymaths who seamlessly blended empirical science with deep spiritual and philosophical understanding. Today, across the globe, and particularly within our own borders, the landscape of education has shifted dramatically, with English-medium instruction becoming the standard for higher learning. But is this system preparing our students for true intellectual greatness?

Open for All | Segregated Seating for Sisters

The Learning Circle invites you to a vital and thought-provoking dialogue, led by Dr. Muhammad Azam Ali.

This event will go beyond mere critique, exploring the profound historical, philosophical, and practical implications of our current educational paradigm.

 

What We Will Explore:

This is more than a seminar; it’s a call to re-evaluate our approach to knowledge. Dr. Ali will guide us through a multi-faceted exploration, addressing key questions that are rarely asked in conventional academic settings:

1. How and why was English-medium education introduced here?

2. What are the assumptions and biases built into this system?

3. Why should scientists study literature, philosophy, and history?
