Dr Khairudin Aljunied, author of the book "Hamka and Islam - Cosmopolitan Reform in the Malay World", compares different methods in learning, from the past and present, seeking to deliberate on the shift in emphasis within pedagogical trends. Today, learning is measured and catered based on one’s age, whereas history depicts to us that learning was nuanced and catered through personalities and passion that is embedded within the human nature. He also speaks about priorities in seeking knowledge, and the different avenues of education where people can find their personal hidden potential and interests.

"The whole purpose of knowledge, reading, learning… is to realize one’s fullest intellectual potential."
