The Knowledge and Nation Building: An In-Depth Study of State Building Knowledge and Nations: An In-Depth Study of the Role of Knowledge in State Building Book Authors: Ragheb Al-Sarjani Number of Pages: 694 pages About the Book: God created "Adam" - peace be upon him - and commanded His angels to prostrate to him, not for any virtue except the virtue of "knowledge" which Allah - glory be to Him - granted him. And thus, since the beginning of creation, it has been the way of God with His creation and the nations of the past and future that progress is achieved through causes, and the first of these causes is "knowledge," which was the subject of this book. Through its pages, Dr. "Ragheb Al-Sarjani" discusses the role of knowledge in building nations. Although the book is an in-depth study on this topic, it has not turned into a dry academic book far from reality. It is suitable for specialists and ordinary readers alike, starting with a discussion about "knowledge," its types, and its concept from the Islamic perspective, then continuing with an overview of the reality of the Islamic nation and its relationship with knowledge and scholars in the life of nations, through practical models from ancient and contemporary civilizations. The author also did not forget the role of scholars, dedicating the last part of the book to them, selecting more than thirty scholars from ancient Muslim and non-Muslim figures up to the present time. It is a coherent book that combines study and application, addressing a very important problem and providing successful solutions. It combines diagnosis and treatment, all in an organized, straightforward style that is easy to understand.
