Salam 'alaik...
i'm back after months being away from this blog.i miss blogging.seriously..but what makes me avoiding myself from blogging?i was too scared, scared that my words are not suitable, i might say wrong things, i might be addicted to blog..but why i begin to blog again,right now?bored, maybe..or i try to find a medium for me to express my feelings, my thoughts, my ideas on something.Facebook seems not safe anymore to be a place for me to let all my feelings out.there is no more privacy there.
What's new about me?
well, i haven't wrote anything here since i entered this semester.as i have mentioned in previous posts, i'm no longer the assistant batch leader.so, that means i have plenty of time to explore new things.yeah, i did explore few new stuffs and participated in organizing programs as well as joining activities.
This is not the purpose why i want to write this post today.i just want to express my sadness about an issue (sad but i'm listening to 'Senyum' song by Malique ft Najwa)..i think this issue is not rare.it is just we tend to ignore this issue by assuming that this current era should no longer apply this attitude.what attitude that i'm talking about?
Learning attitude..
Such a very general word-->'learning'. yes, it is indeed.it is also a big act...learning has strong relation with knowledge or 'ilm.and knowledge is something beneficial to us(if we learn the good one, of course).we are encouraged to FIND or SEEK for knowledge,aren't we?have we ever told to just WAIT for knowledge to come to you without any effort from you such as by coming towards the source of knowledge or trying to concentrate towards the lecture given?from what i know, NEVER.what am i going to say exactly?
Islam highlights the importance of knowledge and the act of learning. because through learning, one can acquire knowledge which somehow for me, is like the guidance from Allah SWT.well, as you know, even the knowledge that we have in our mind right now belongs to HIM.so, in order to acquire knowledge or hidayah, there are few manners /adab to be observed.even if one is not taught about the adab in his school or by his parents,still,these adab are something that you can think about them by using the rationale mind.it just involves logics.simply like that..
However, i'm so sad with the attitude of the society nowadays,regardless of the age and gender.We have lost the adab in public, we have lost the shyness in our daily acts (it is good to have at least a little shyness in one person,so that he will not simply act inappropriately).
Back to the learning issue, in order to gain knowledge, Islam told us to respect our teachers,regardless what we call them(Dr,Prof,Mdm,Ms,Mr,Sir, or simply Teacher).because the barakah is there,with their blessings together with their knowledge.These two should always come together.But, most of us only busy hunting for knowledge without noticing the need of blessings.we do not respect the teachers, expecting them to stick to what we want them to do.just imagine yourself to be on their shoes,what would you feel?someone asks something precious from you but with his face looking at somewhere else.it is RUDE, isn't it?are you a rude person?so please, respect your teacher no matter how bad the way he taught you as long as he taught good and beneficial knowledge,not the other way around.
i know, sometimes we get sleepy in class because of boring lectures-i experienced that several times as well.but, don't simply do other things unrelated during the lectures-well, at least do not show it to the lecturers.do it quietly..this could also respect the rest of the students who want to listen to the lectures.the best way is to try your best to stay awake.so, even though you cannot prevent yourself from fallen asleep, but at least, you have tried your best to stay awake.remember,in Islam, every act is counted,even the one that is as tiny as the atom.
Wallahualm.
