KNOWLEDGE IN ISLAM (3).

   
  Some Muslims don't pay attention to world's knowledge as they think that religious knowledge is all that matters. This view is against Islamic perspective of knowledge.
  Thus pursuing knowledge in particular field of science that would help alleviate the pains of humanity and advance human progress is highly applauded and appreciated in Islam. It is our duty as Muslims to
excel in all fields of life; science, knowledge, business, industry, charity and political activism. It is our duty to serve justice and humanity. It is also our duty as Muslims to develop this world and make it a better place for everyone.
  Now, we know we have to seek knowledge, but how exactly do we do with it?. Here are few tips to help you acquire knowledge about our beautiful deen:
1. Time management.
2. Pick out a small areas to focus on.
3. Stay connected with the Muslim world.
4. Dedicate a special time for acquiring knowledge.
5. Pick an entertaining topic to start with.
6. Invest in a CD or other electronic devices (on Islamic world or other innovations).
7. Keep on making dua to Allah; this is very important for the believer in every aspect of his     life.
       A dua you can constantly recite to help:
"Allahumma inni aoothubika minal hammi was hazni, wal ajzi wal kasali, wal bukhli, wal jubni, wa dala'id-dayni wa ghalabatir-rijal". Which means 'O Allah, i take refuge in You from anxiety andsorrow, weakness and laziness, miserliness and cowardice, the burden of debts and from being overpowered by men').
    May Allah give us the courage and blessing to walk on the path of knowledge and stay on that path until we meet him, Insh-Aghbllah. Masalam. Happy Juma't..
