Learning to learn again4/27/2024 Every Friday morning, I attend a class about a half an hour drive from where I live. This class teaches motivation, life management and organisational management based on the Holy Quran. In this class, we use a text book written by my teacher Dr Mohd Shafie Mod Amin called You Are The Best! Assalamualaikum, peace be upon you all my dear brothers and sisters who found your way into my blog on ilmkhal.com. Today I am going to share a bit about something I read from the book I mentioned earlier titled You Are The Best! This book was written as a motivational manual for life management and managing organisations based on the Holy Quran, and it is written in Malay. The knowledge we are talking about here is Islamic knowledge from Allah (may He be praised and exalted) and Islam is the way of life that we need, to be successful here in this world and the hereafter. There are two most important things needed in learning or acquiring the Islamic knowledge. They are,
So let’s talk about the first one that is COMPREHENSION. Comprehension belongs only to Allah. Humans do not have the capacity to comprehend knowledge on their own. They are only given the capacity to learn information. Allah told us in Al Anbiya 21:79 "And We gave understanding of it (to) Sulaiman" So, we humans can try to learn something but we will understand nothing, without getting comprehension or understanding from God. How is it so far brothers and sisters. I hope we get something very important here regarding COMPREHENSION in our effort to acquire knowledge. Ok. Now lets talk about the second thing that is needed to learn or acquire knowledge which is, GUIDANCE. When we learn something, we not only want the comprehension or the understanding of the subject, but we also want the ability to practice that acquired knowledge with sincerity. This will allow us to develop our love for Allah. All the things that we get, the wealth, the intellect that Allah gave, can be used to bring us closer to Allah. There are many out there who Allah gave understanding, intellect and high standing but they became arrogant and became self-absorbed and think all they have achieved are due to their own effort. They are the misguided. Hence, GUIDANCE is also something that belongs to ALLAH. No humans can give COMPREHENSION and GUIDANCE to another, even to their most loved ones. Allah says in Al Qasas 28:56 "You surely cannot guide whoever you like ˹O Prophet˺, but it is Allah Who guides whoever He wills, and He knows best who are ˹fit to be˺ guided." So many out there who are not given guidance from Allah
So brothers and sisters, let’s be grateful to Allah for all the things that has Allah granted us. The gift of health, the vision to see, and the ability to move our hearts to love reading and acquire knowledge to improve our manners or conduct. Why are we talking about manners now and why is manners so important? We will touch on this subject, manners, in my next post on the same subject. I am not trying to teach, but I only want to share what I have learned in class and the book, and from this effort, I pray that Allah will grant me the understanding and guidance that will benefit me here and the afterlife. If you feel this post is beneficial, please share this with your friends and loved ones. If you have something to say, please leave a comment, so I may learn something from your feedback. Thank you dear brothers and sisters. Assalamualaikum. Peace be upon you all. If you are interested to learn the Quran, this version by Saheeh International is highly recommended. I bought this book last year as a gift to a friend who was interested to learn more about the Quran. https://amzn.to/3UBvlvj My name is ilmi and I am a student for life.
