ASK, AND YOU'LL BE ANSWERED!



Ustaz Syed's tazkirah during SPM Belatan Camp had reminded me something on entering Islam completely and embracing it as a way of life.

"Enter into Islam completely and do not follow the footsteps of satan. He is indeed to you a clear enemy."

Like the video above, which inspires us all to be students on the verge of revivaling back the Islamic Nation to its once well-known glory, it is indeed our responsiblity to learn using the method promoted by Islam. To be more specific, we all know it too well Aisha Abu Bakar r.a, the youngest wife of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him is the greatest female scholar in history and an incredibly smart and brilliant individual. Being the closest person to our beloved Prophet since she was at a very young age is an advantage that had enabled her to learn and to absorb so many knowldge so great that male companions learned way too much from her. She was also a witness of many great revelations. It is learned that the prophet did not simply lecture her on those knowledge but a thing so great about Aisha is she had such a high curiousity which means she had the habit of asking the Prophet. I am enlightened with the fact that most hadith are the Prophet's answers to the companions' questions. Furthermore, to unearth the definition of Iman, Islam and Ihsan, the angel came (in the form of a human) in one of the companions gatherings with Rasulullah peace be upon him, asking about those to him.
It is in the Holy Koran, in which Allah says that 'if you don't know, ask the expert.'

All these indicates that it is of paramount importance that you, my dear students develop your habit of asking your teachers on anything that you are curios about. You have to be a person with an inquiry mind. They say curiosity kills the cat and that ignorance is bliss but we, the Muslim students of the ummah need to inculcate the habit of dissatisfying or disliking towards ignorance. You must ask! It is one of the Islamic way of learning and all of us here want to be a full-time muslims, don't we? So, let's apply this teaching in our life and learn with the intention of seeking the Lord's blessing.

And I'm at this point, still pondering on the ways to turn the minds of yours into these highly curious minds. May Allah aspire me
