"Knowledge and teaching are natural to human society. This is
because…..of man’s ability to think. This ability
guides him in the pursuit of his livelihood; in his association,
for economic purposes, with his fellow beings; it guides him in
the society which comes into being because of that association,it also disposes him to accept what the Prophets transmit to him
from God and to base his acts on their teachings".
Abū Zayd ‘Abdur-Raḥman ibn Muḥammad ibn Khaldūn
historian, sociologist, philosopher scholar, teacher, magistrate and author of Muqaddimat Ibn Khaldun
