Dakwah

I've been watching videos about Speakers Corner that takes place in Hyde Park in London. It's amazing to see how our muslim brothers and sister and spreading dawah and truth. But of course, there are people who refuse the truth. I see many people who are genuine and want to seek knowledge. They want to know what Islam is. It's unfortunate how many violent things are happening in the world like Palestine and Syria, Iraq and Libya. Sometimes people are just evil and they will do bad things regardless of their religion or background. But I am not here to defend the acts of violence. I am here to talk about how these people are spreading dakwah. It brings confidence and happiness to me when I see how the dakwah is spreading. I saw many instances of how the muslims challenges the Bible and vice versa. I can confidently say that I have seen a lot of sense in the muslim brothers. I do acknowledge that sometimes, they talk harshly and very straightforwardly, but that is because I...

Science

Science and physics are subjects that I have always liked. However, at school, I didn't really fully grasp it. Meaning to say, I wasn't a very good student at it. Which makes me really wonder. Why didn't I understand things like chemistry better, when fundamentally, it really fascinated me? I guess I wasn't that hardworking enough on it. I love to watch videos about scientific discoveries and astronomy. It's so fun and fascinating. I learned a lot in those videos than what some teachers taught me. Now, I don't know a lot. I can't really claim to be so knowledgeable than my teachers, because that could be impossible. I've just known so much about astrophysics and it is so interesting. All these theories like the black holes, string theory, Higgs Boson particles... multiple dimensions... It's all so amazing to me. Watching the sky, the stars, the moon, and nature really made me think about the powers of the Almighty. Everything is so perfect and so...

"You are confused"

After a lot of hassle about finding a place for me to stay, I've finally been able to live in my previous dorm. I have officially live here for 4 years. Alhamdulillah, now I have a nice place to stay. Today I was reminded about a certain story or statement that my lecturer of International Relations told me and the entire class. She told us a story about now a student taking HRD in our uni was furthering her master's degree in resource sciences. She told us that the student was confused. She said that the student should have taken a master's degree in something related to her degree. Listening to this, I have to say that I disagree. Well. Perhaps what she is saying is true. It is arguably more reasonable to further your master's degree with an area that you are already familiar with and have basic to moderate level of knowledge in the field. Taking a completely different subject would only mean suicide and burdening yourself. Who would want to do that, right? I am...
