Globalization has brought mankind into situations where we all live in a
global village, where information and the speed of communication have almost
totally erased the borders of time and space. This is surely a new
experience for humankind, because it leaves the impression that the world is
small and closed.
People now can easily access information abut any type of event which takes
place in any part of the world just by clicking a button. They are now aware
of economic, social, political and religious developments in the world. They
see equity and justice in different parts of the world. They are aware of
various types of movements, and revolutions taking place across the world.
The student of today wonders why we are so backward, while the rest of the
world is progressing so speedily in economic, social, and political fields.
It is true that when the mental level grows such questions arise in the
mind. We are supposed to answer these questions wisely and intelligently. We
can evade these questions by bringing the modern mind at par with common
people. It is indeed an attractive opportunity to make them aware of Islamic
teachings for better training, and leading the new generation. It is the
dire need of the time to understand modern languages, thoughts and
communication tools.
Having realized the needs of the contemporary world, the Faculty of Islamic
Learning, Greenwich University offers Masters program in Islamic Studies and
Comparative Religion.
