Muslims almost everywhere dont realise a few things e.g: They dont know the fact that the rights of people are more important than the rights of Allah.. They do not know of a hadith which is: "To listen to the words of the learned, and to instil into others the lessons of science, is better than religious exercises." There are lots of other hadith which mention the importance of knowledge and education.. You should check this link..

To give you another simple example.. Many many people in our country can read Arabic (Holy Quran) but they do not understand what they are reading.. Khutbas in Friday prayers are also given in Arabic but around 90% of the people listening to it do not understand what the Imam is saying, despite the fact that a khutba should be for the guidance for the worshipers..
There are countless other examples which I can refer to but I hope that this information would be sufficient for now..
