Real dharma, moving beyond humans' base instincts, gives the capacity to override selfish impulses for power in favour of the greater good. Real dharma upholding social uniformity beyond all moral compasses. All religions emphasise the importance of education and knowledge. Islam places a high priority on studying, learning, and seeking knowledge. There are some key Quranic verses on knowledge and study. Those emphasise Iqra (read), the elevation of scholars, and distinctions between the known and the unknown, all of which emphasise critical thinking, awareness, and education.
