It has been creating doubts, errors, fantasies, disconnections and confusions in the mind of the Muslims and most importantly the youth.

Different pedagogical theories that have been formulated by the secular educationists carried out the notion of different belief systems from the west and its Eurocentric ideology. However, having studied the life and teachings of a man who has been considered as the best exemplary and the modest for the entire humanity by the Muslim and non-Muslims alike.
