Life is short. Clock is always “tick-tock-tick-tock”…never stop till the Day of Doom arrive [merely ALLAH knows]. Man, why do we surfer living in this world?

(Al-Baqarah : 30-35)

Means : Behold, your Lord said to the angles : “I will create a vicegerent on earth” They said: “Will You place therein one who will make  mischief therein and shed blood? – whilst we do celebrate Your praises and glorify Your holy (name)?” He said : “I know what you know not”. (2:30)

And He taught Adam the nature of all things; then He placed them before the angels, and said: “Tell Me the nature of these if you are right.” (2:31)

They said : “Glory to You, of knowledge We have none, save what You have taught us : in truth it is You who are perfect in knowledge and wisdom.” (2:32)

He said : “O Adam! Tell them their natures.” When he had told them, Allah said : “Did I not tell you that I know the secrects of heaven and earth, and I know what you reveal and what you conceal?” (2:33)

And behold We said to the angels : “Bow down to Adam” and they bowed down. Not so Iblis : he refused and was haughty : he was of those who reject Faith. (2:34)

We said : “O Adam! Dwell you and your wife in the Garden; and eat of the beautiful things therein as (where and when) you will; but approach not his tree, or you run into harm and transgression.” (2:35)

SUBAHANALLAH… Allah, The Almighty knows everything the best for His creations. Thus, we as the chaliphs have been given the “AMANAH” (trustfulness) to rule and practice the teachings of Islam (through guidance of the Holy Qur’an and Hadith) for the virtue in this world and Hereafter with His pleasure.

(Al-Sajdah : 24)

Means : And We appointed, from among them, leaders, giving guidance under Our command, so long as they preserved with patience and continued to have faith in Our Signs.

(Ta Ha : 50)

Means : He said : “Our Lord is He who gave to each (created) thing its form and nature, and further, gave (it) guidance.”

(January, 27 2010)

We as chalips have been given the obligation to seek knowledge as two hadith of Prophet SAW were :

Means : All Muslims (and muslimah) are obligate to learn [ta’lamu faridho ala kulli muslim]

And

Means : The knowledgeable people are the heritage of the prophets [al-ulama’ min warithu al-anbiya’ ]

Therefore, Muslims will be strong as knowledge may guide us to make any necessary decision in life [they may able to steadfast with their works (amanah) for the pleasure of Allah, The Almighty]. However, ilm fardhu ‘ain are must for Muslims to inculcate and practice them in daily life such as pray [ibadah/aqidah] and cover the aurah [syari’ah]. Besides, akhlaq [attitudes / behaviours] is vital for Muslims inculcate the hasanan [good/best] akhlaq among man which is one of the sunnah [taught by the Prophet SAW].

(Riwayat al-Nahari)

Means : He said : “I have been sent to perfect good maners”  .

(Riwayat Tarmidhi)

Means : The most perfect man of the believers in their faith is that whose character is the most excellent.
