What is an Islamic degree compared to (w)holistic education from mainstream Worldwide Universities?

Al-Azhar University in Egypt is considered the top university in the World, MAINLY for Islamic studies.

At the end of the day, what EXACTLY does it teaches, & its contributions to Humankind, where it is NOT just THEOLOGY alone that contributes to Humanity's progress & evolution, but science, engineering, med, etc, etc.

And what EXACTLY does a degree holder of Islamic studies do - become a cleric, live off the donations of hardworking civilians, or worse - be treated as gods on Earth to be listened to & obeyed, OVER & ABOVE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED CAPABLE LEADERS OF NATIONS WHOM HAD PROVEN TO UPLIFT CITIZENS SOCIO- ECONOMIC LIVES?

Do share views. Many whom had been lied to, influenced or corrupted, but woken up, would like to know...

The religion was made up. Early arabs out of saudi did not have a religion. Its holy book has no mention of rituals. Why are tgere no archaeological mosques in mecca ans medina. Zll those grand mosques are newly built. They erased any evidence of historic sites where it was suppose to have originated.

any religion that practises violence, intolerance of other faiths and religions is a bad religion

For a muslim, the next life is more important, Malay kids should go to full day religious school, the outcome would be good for themselves and others.

Actually AlAzhar is a good place for KAFIRs who wants to learn in depth about Islam. To understand the intricacies and inter relatedness between Quran Hadiths and Sunnah.
To be able to research the hundreds of thousands of hadiths and to present it back to their KAFIR masters who sponsored their studies.

But if you want to be a better Muslim, there are many universities and pesantrens all over the world that not only presents you the curricula but forces you to practise what you learn. Medina and the Indonesian pesantrens are more than equal to AlAzhar.
That's why MUIS only sends their scholarships to AlAzhar but not the others. It's to educate KAFIRs.

Thanks all for your responses.

University education is NOT cheap. Thus most would choose carefully to ensure what they learnt would be useful for employment in our SECULAR World, to be able to contribute to the success, progress & evolution of biz enterprises & economy, as well as putting food on the table for oneself & loved ones.

So too is an Islamic theology degree not cheap. Theology studies - Buddhism, Christianity, Zionism, Islam, Hinduism, etc, teaches spirituality, which is important too as Humans are not soulless robots, & would need spiritual GUIDIANCES to live fulfilling lives.

However, there must be a line drawn between spiritualism & secularism, & to ALWAYS remember - spirituality is for GUIDIANCE, within one's private sphere & NOT as authoritarian rule in the public sphere that is shared by many others.

Religion is a powerful tool, with power comes responsibilities to others. Should it be misused, then all that is built up - civilization - will crumble to dust, as witnessed in Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Palestine, as well as scores of corrupted African nations.

You need a degree to study the ten Commandments?

You think the Bible & the Quran is just only the ten Commandments?

It is no wonder or surprise then that the ignorant you & those whom think like you, loudly acclaimed the Hamas Terrorists groups as 'Muslim freedom fighters'....

I was told not to associate anything as from God. Therefore, no holy book nor religion are as from God. If those hamas and zionist guys are smart, they too should distance themselves from religion nor take guidance from holy books. Only then you can think with a clear mind to settle unresolved issues.
