Rational:
I believe the general purpose of education is to guide man towards human excellence and to provide him with specific guidelines that will help him reach his full potential. Education is the process by which mankind can deliberately transmit accumulative beneficial knowledge, skillsvaluesand beliefs from one generation to the next.
True education takes into consideration the fitrah(natural inclination) of man and serves to articulate beliefs, principles, methods and practices that will best achieve benefits in this world. Harm and benefits are the two over arching concerns that motivate man to act. The process of educating must first connect with the human psyche and lead him towards that which satisfies the soul and secures its fears. Educators must work to develop good character and manners that generate love and admiration in the hearts of the student. Good manners and good character are enfolds by which knowledge is inserted and willfully absorbed into the mind and hearts of the student.
