is an academic degree usually awarded for completion of a postgraduate
course of one or two years in duration. In the UK it is sometimes
awarded for an undergraduate course whose final year consists of
higher-level courses and a major research project. MA, MS, MSc The Master of Arts (Magister Artium) and Master of Science (Magister Scientiæ)
degrees are the basic type in most subjects and may be entirely
course-based, entirely research-based or a mixture. The Master's degree
is intermediate between a bachelor's degree and a doctorate. In some
fields, one customarily earns a masters before a doctorate; in others,
work on a doctorate begins immediately after a bachelor's degree.

Of many aspects of Islam to which Qutb gave renewed emphasis, perhaps the most significant was the concept of Jahiliyyah The state of ignorance of the guidance from God. "When
a person embraced Islam during the time of the Prophet-peace be on
him-he would immediately cut himself off from Jahiliyyah. [The state of
ignorance of the guidance from God.] When he stepped into the circle of

give lectures and seminars in their field of study, such as science or
literature. They also do advanced research in their fields and are
supposed to do community service (including advisory functions, such as
for the government) and train young academics who should replace them.
The balance of these four classic fields of professorial tasks depends
heavily on the institution, place (country), and time. For example,
professors at research universities in the U.S. (and all European
universities) are exclusively promoted on the basis of their research
achievements.
