The famous philosopher and Islamic thinker Syed Maududi (RA) said:
Man does not only see with his eyes, behind it is his active mind and brain. He has a point of view and opinion. He has a purpose and goal in life. He has a process of thinking about problems. What man sees, hears, and knows, he adapts to his own inner basic thoughts and ideas of meditation. Then his way of life was formed on the basis of those thoughts and ideas. This way of life is culture. A nation that has a distinct culture, beliefs, and goals and those who have their own way of life must uphold their unique culture, beliefs, motives, goals, and way of life and make it worthy of its development. And they have to build their education system with that objective in mind
