Education has been unanimously regarded as the key factor in the development of personality of an individual, as well as that of a society and a nation. Any efforts put in education consequently lead to formidable behavioral changes. The first gift given to humanity by its creator, when first human being was created, was knowledge. Similarly Islamic religion tradition began with the command from the creator to read, contemplate and produce knowledge in order to serve the humanity.
