seeking knowledge

Today was my 1st day (after a very very very long absence) *covers face in shame* attending 'kuliah' or lecture at a mosque..

and i must say i'm loving it, alhamdulillah.. :)

learnt abt 'Qarin' today.. something that i've never known before & wouldnt have found out if i had not attended 'kuliah'..
syukur ya Rabb.. :)

it's never too late to seek knowledge.. and i'm glad i took this important first step..

Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala has commenced the revelation of the Holy Qur’an by mentioning regarding the importance of Knowledge,

“Read and your Lord is Most Honorable, who taught (to write) with the pen, who taught man what he knew not.”

(Holy Qur’an, Al-'Alaq, 96:3 - 5)

The Holy Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam encouraged all Muslims to acquire knowledge and share it. He said:

“Acquire knowledge, for he who acquires it in the way of Allah performs an act of piety; he who speaks of it, praises the Lord; he who seeks it, adores Allah; he who dispenses instruction in it, bestows alms; and he who imparts it to others, performs an act of devotion to Allah.”

(Bukhari, Muslim)

May every step we take in seeking for knowledge be a blessed one.

insya-Allah :)
