Human resource development: the key towards a developed and industrialized society

Abstract

History has taught us that the character and strength of a nation is invariably tied up with the quality and attributes of its citizenry. Ancient Greek Civilization flourished by the strength and military skills of the Spartans and the culture and spirit of the Athenians. Islam, born in the desert of Arabia, spread into an enduring civilization, with an empire that lasted for almost eight hundred years. It laid the genesis for modern science, medicine, law, architecture, mathematics and cosmology. This was achieved by a community that was once backward but subsequently propelled by the pursuit of knowledge with complete adherence and devotion to the Quran and the teachings of Prophet Mohamed, s.a.w.
