Then how do you explain these verses about education in the Quran?
Quote:Sura 17, The Quran:
( 35 ) And give full measure when you measure, and weigh with an even balance. That is the best [way] and best in result.
( 36 ) And do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge. Indeed, the hearing, the sight and the heart - about all those [one] will be questioned.
( 37 ) And do not walk upon the earth exultantly. Indeed, you will never tear the earth [apart], and you will never reach the mountains in height.
( 38 ) All that - its evil is ever, in the sight of your Lord, detested.
That is one portion about the importance of accuracy, and accuracy requires math. No wonder Muslim scholars were in so many cases, excellent mathematicians.
It is when Muslims forgot these verses, they lost their previous high rank.
Moreover:
Quote:Sura 17, The Quran:
( 85 ) And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about the soul. Say, "The soul is of the affair of my Lord. And mankind have not been given of knowledge except a little."
Humans know so little. Don't they?
Quote:Sura 28, The Quran:
( 54 ) Those will be given their reward twice for what they patiently endured and [because] they avert evil through good, and from what We have provided them they spend.
( 55 ) And when they hear ill speech, they turn away from it and say, "For us are our deeds, and for you are your deeds. Peace will be upon you; we seek not the ignorant."
I think you are meaning the Church's commands by your post. But Islam is not Christianity. And if other institutions command people to be ignorant so they blindly accept what is thrown at them; the Quran never said that; but instead advocated education, and told people to avoid ignorant people and educate themselves.
How would I balance the scale, if I don't know math?
