We should talk in the language of our \u2018nation\u2019 as the Qur\u2019an suggests; they are our contemporaries,\u201d Shaikh Isma\u2019eelzahi added more. <\/p>\n<p>He pointed: \u201cToday Mu\u2019tazila and Khawarij of the past do not exist; we see modern Khawarij and Mu\u2019tazila now. There should be a revision in the creed subjects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should be aware of the latest expressions of the people. Do not hide the facts; know the suspicions of the new generation. We should know the suspicions of socialists, communists, extremists and newly-born sects and answer them objectively,\u201d the rector of Darululoom Zahedan made it clear.<\/p>\n<p>He further said: \u201cIt is a weakness for us that we do not have specialization classes in the four juridical sects, Shiism and other religions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Expressing his views about the method of teaching in Islamic seminaries, Mawlana Abdol-Hamid said: \u201cUnlike universities, we focus on books more than the pertinent science and subject. The struggle is divided to make understand the text of the books and science. Clarifying the text of books boosts the abilities of students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> \u201cI think in the section of higher education and specialization the focus should be on teaching science not books.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also said: \u201cMaintain unity and fraternity but you can study on religions and sects, especially the ones who live around us. We should have information about them.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rector of Darululoom Zahedan pointed out to important points about the curriculum of Islamic seminaries in the Indian sub-continent and their followers in Iran and other countries He urged on the review of the curriculum in these seminaries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":831,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-views"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=638"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":833,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638\/revisions\/833"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=638"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abdolhamid.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
