  Four pillars of education The ‘Four Pillars of Education’ were originally set out in a report for UNESCO by the International Commission on Education for the Twenty-First Century chaired by Jacques Delors (UNESCO, 1996). These pillars underline the very breadth and depth of UNESCO’s vision of education within and beyond schooling. Education, the report holds, must be organized around four fundamental types of learning throughout a person’s life: Learning to know, Learning to do, Learning to live together, and Learning to be. Although they can be defined separately, they form an integrated whole and should ideally be present in all pedagogical encounters and the curriculum as a whole (Scatolini, 2010). The Four Pillars are programmatic and can be summed up as follows: Learning to know: ‘Learning to know’ lays the foundations of learning throughout life. This pillar refers to the basic knowledge that we need to be able to understand our environment and to live in...

  ALLAH (GOD)   Allah is an Arabic word.  Allah (God), the one and only God in Islam.  Etymologically, the name Allah is a contraction of the Arabic al-llah, “The God”.   The name’s origin can be traced back to the earliest semitic writings in which the word for God was il or el.  Allah is the standard word for God and is used by Muslims. Allah is the pivot of the Muslim faith.   Islam holy scripture, the Qur’an, constantly preaches Allah’s reality, his inaccessible mystery, his various names, and his actions on behalf of his creature.   Three themes preponderate: (1)    Allah is the Creator, Judge and Rewarder; (2)    He is unique (Wahid) and inherently One (Ahad); (3)    He is Omnipotent and all Merciful.
