Al-Azhar Mosque (Arabic: الجامع الأزهر al-Gāma` al-Azhar, "mosque of the most resplendent") is a mosque in Islamic Cairo in Egypt. Al-Mu‘izz li-Dīn Allāh of the Fatimid Caliphate commissioned its construction for the newly established capital city in 970. Its name is usually thought to allude to the Islamic prophet Muhammad's daughter Fatimah, a revered figure in Islam who was given the title az-Zahrā′ ("the shining one"). It was the first mosque established in Cairo, a city that has since gained the nickname "the city of a thousand minarets."
After its dedication in 972, and with the hiring by mosque authorities of 35 scholars in 989, the mosque slowly developed into what is today the second oldest continuously run university in the world after Al Karaouine. Al-Azhar University has long been regarded as the foremost institution in the Islamic world for the study of Sunni theology and sharia, or Islamic law. The university, integrated within the mosque as part of a mosque school since its inception, was nationalized and officially designated an independent university in 1961, following the Egyptian Revolution of 1952.
Over the course of its over a millennium-long history, the mosque has been alternately neglected and highly regarded. Because it was founded as an Ismāʿīli institution, Saladin and the Sunni Ayyubid dynasty that he founded shunned al-Azhar, removing its status as a congregational mosque and denying stipends to students and teachers at its school. These moves were reversed under the Mamluk Sultanate, under whose rule numerous expansions and renovations took place. Later rulers of Egypt showed differing degrees of deference to the mosque and provided widely varying levels of financial assistance, both to the school and to the upkeep of the mosque. Today, al-Azhar remains a deeply influential institution in Egyptian society and a symbol of Islamic Egypt.
Al-Azhar University (Arabic: جامعة الأزهر (الشري the (honorable) Azhar University) is an educational institute in Cairo, Egypt. Founded in 970 or 972 as a madrasa, it is the chief centre of Arabic literature and Islamic learning in the world. It is the oldest degree-granting university in Egypt. In 1961 non-religious subjects were added to its curriculum.
It is associated with Al-Azhar Mosque in Islamic Cairo. The university's mission includes the propagation of Islamic religion and culture. To this end, its Islamic scholars (ulamas) render edicts (fatwas) on disputes submitted to them from all over the Sunni Islamic world regarding proper conduct for Muslim individuals and societies. Al-Azhar also trains Egyptian government-appointed preachers in proselytization (da'wa).
Its library is considered second in importance in Egypt only to the Egyptian National Library and Archives. In May 2005, Al-Azhar in partnership with a Dubai information technology enterprise, ITEP launched the H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Project to Preserve Al Azhar Scripts and Publish Them Online (the "Al-Azhar Online Project") with the mission of eventually providing online access to the library's entire rare manuscripts collection (comprising about seven million pages).

In the building of intelligence where the most educated increase and share their knowledge eyes are blocked with electrical light. While they focus on books, papers and their wisdom the universe plays with complex science to color the world in the north. Do we know everything?

From a column written by Thomas Sowell titled "Obama vs. McCain: The
Big Picture"
"Senator John McCain has been criticized in this column many times.
But, when all is said and done, Senator McCain has not spent decades
aiding and abetting people who hate America.
On the contrary, he has paid a huge price for resisting our enemies,
even when they held him prisoner and tortured him. The choice between
him and Barack Obama should be a no-brainer."
This was written June 26, 2008, he was concerned in part with Iran
going nuclear. I think he has his head screwed on correctly and his
book "Knowledge and Decisions" shows great promise after reading the
first few pages today.
At the end of our Forces topic the children wrote everything they remembered on post-it-notes and posted them on the board.

Part 8 - The Fountain of Knowledge.
So, I placed myself in the position of a time traveler .
Here was a feeling of déjà vu.
I knew I had been here before, but it was never like this.
This was a derelict ruin, where once, as a child I had clambered the walls and run in the dried up beds of the pool, too small to reach up to the statues.
Yet now I was amazed.
The water had returned and a colossal fountain exuded forth.
Here was knowledge in extreme.
This had to result from a Fountain of Knowledge.
But sadly as the day began to end, and it was with a heavy heart that I left Perseus, astride Pegasus, in prosecution of Poseidon’s sea monster, as it pursued Andromeda.
When we view compensation in service sectors vs. manufacturing, we see that what really makes a difference in the rate of wage growth is the "factor intensity" of the work. In both manufacturing and services, when knowledge is the most important input, pay has risen fastest. Pay for workers rose more slowly when the skill levels required were lower or where the most important factor was capital investment.

The "corridors" in the library made by the shelves are really narrow. Not to mention frightening. There seems to be light at the end of this tunnel though.
This was a required examination for pupil-teachers in the 1920s and my mother was awarded the certificate at Holbrook in 1929.
