Jabhad Posted October 11, 2005 Top 10 universities in Africa are all South african universities except one, the American university in Cairo Egypty. #1 University in East africa goes to Tanzania(#13 in Africa) while Somalias Mogadishu university is in the 79th position. Good to hear Somalia, a nation without a government has a good quality university, better than 20 other universities in the african continent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alle-ubaahne Posted October 11, 2005 Brother Haruun, let's define first what we call university. I think we have the world's pioneering best Universities in Somalia. Even no Muslim country can beat it. They know that from the graduates who memorized the whole Quran by heart. Even the University of Medina in Saudi Arabia is astounded by the sheer number of Somali graduates from the best Quranic universities in Somalia. What other university would you select over Quranic universities, when they serve for the best purpose to making this chaos world peaceful? For that reason, we have world-class universities, in a place where the dearth of material seems the joy and motivation to excell for learning real knowledge. That is how it supposed to be when ranking Africa's best universities, by bringing Somalia's educational institutions on the first place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With all due respect to the somali pupils that learn how to recite the whole holy Qu'ran but what Somalia need's even more is pupils with exams useful in this world too. "Work like an immortal, pray and trust on Allah like tomorrow was your last day" We somalis fully accomplish the last-mentioned in the above sentence. But whatever concerns daily livelihood and success/development here in earth life, we have abandoned. Truly pathethic that is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caano Geel Posted October 12, 2005 Originally posted by Alle-ubaahne: ... Alle-ubaahne, further to the post above, you must differentiate between spiritual and academic learning. Did you know that it was the Abbasid and Umayyad empires that saved the works of the Greek philosophers by translating them - in search of more knowledge and a deeper understanding of the world. They refined chemistry, maths, physics, literature, in short the basis of modern science directly derives from their methods, and the philosophies of modern world result from their diligence, hardwork and curiosity to understand and discover the works of th past. Didi u also know that they were Muslims, inspired by Islam to understand the natural world around and apply their ideas. Over 1000 yrs ago, these people found a comfortable understanding between between the scholarly and spiritual. The modern ultra-conservative view that suggests otherwise has its basis in 19th century Victorian culture of the UK, that felt threatened by the pace of change and felt a puritan and simpler way of life could be found by ... well being ultra-conservative about religion. This doesn't aim to take credit way from where its due, its fantastic that universities in Somalia are producing wonderfully versed students, but they are derelicting their duties if they cannot produce academic scholars as well. haruun Thanks for that, could you provide the source please.
