The Necessity of Education from the Perspective of The Purposes of Islamic Law

Abstract

Allah almighty has set us a law that takes care of all aspects of our lives and this sharia has purposes to bring interests to people and pay for them, and seeks in all ways to delight the life of humanity, and takes care of anything that is a reason for achieving these interests, and as it seeks to pay everything that leads to harm to people, this means that Islamic law does not give up purposes, and one of its purposes is educational purposes, the Islamic law seeks through education to achieve these interests, if We looked at the provisions of Islamic law, all of them have secured purposes for human education, and thus the relationship between the purposes of sharia and education is linked, the purposes urge people to stick to education and education to preserve the purposes of sharia, and the relationship between them was fairly strong if one of them was to spoil the other, for example, education can preserve religion. If we look at the purposes of Sharia, it seeks to preserve the necessities of the five (religion, soul, mind, offspring, and money). Every process that is a reason for memorising these necessities is the basis for the education process. Also, education tries to be virtues and stay away from vices, hence it agrees with the purposes of Sharia, which seeks to bring interests and pay harms. Thus, the process of education is a servant of the purposes of Islamic law and is a necessity from its perspective and also for daily life.
