Looking at present situation of our educational system one may clearly conclude that it is divided in Islamic and Secular system. Because of this dualism in our educational system, people in general and Muslim Ummah in particularly have suffered. Islam does not acknowledge this division but unfortunately it has been associated with Islam. Looking at the background of Islamic education we see Islam emphasizes the importance of acquiring knowledge of this world as well as the next world. Islam also recommends and obligates to seek knowledge in all fields. When Western Europe was intellectually backward and stagnant, Islamic scholars flourished with an impressive openness to the rational sciences, art, and literature.
It was during this period that the Islamic world made most of its contributions to the scientific and artistic world. Ironically, Islamic scholars preserved much of the knowledge of the Greeks that had been prohibited. Outstanding contributions were made in areas of chemistry, botany, physics, mineralogy, mathematics, and astronomy, as many Muslim thinkers regarded scientific facts as tools for assessing religion. Since such kind of integration is lacking in our present educational system, there is a need to establish a unified educational system that can be secular as well as religious in nature. Conatus” Institute of Integrated Education at Hanjiwera Bala Pattan is an effort to provide a platform for those who want to get such an integrated education.
