The Damascus Sermon | The Damascus Sermon | 83
(4-135)
A part I left out of the Programme
of My Aims, which I published(24)

One channel of modern education, which flows in from outside, should consist of some of the members of the religious schools, so that it may be purified of rancour and hatred. For coming from another channel it is polluted and cloudy. It has had a negative effect on some minds oppressed by the tyranny which arises from the swamp of idleness and breathes through the poison of despotism; it must therefore pass through the filter of the Shari‘a. It will be transformed through the efforts of the religious scholars.

Peace on those who follow rightguidance.
