Muslim countries have the highest average of illiteracy in the world.
Muslim countries spend more on Arms and Armed Forces than on Education and Teachers.
The Muslims no longer occupy the high ground of educational excellence. Al-Azhar has given way to Oxford and Cambridge and Harvard.
History has forgotten the leading Muslim Scholars that developed science, Mathematics, Astrology, Medicine, Philosophy and architecture.
Lack of education has rendered the Muslim Ummah deficient and toothless against the Western Propaganda Machine.
In war torn areas, such as Bosnia, Chechnya and Kashmir, Afghanistan, Iraq, and parts of Africa. The essential infrastructure of education is destroyed by giving the children bread they will be fed for a day. Giving them proper education they will be fed for life.
It is these sentiments that Muslim Education Relief has been established by some of the most able scholars of the Muslim Community. We believe that our brothers and sisters in the Muslim Ummah should be helped strategically and effectively so that they can always help themselves in the future. INSHA ALLAH. You are therefore asked to contribute and invest your Zakat and sadaqah and all benevolent contributions to this truly worthy cause.
