Today, I started my class~
First class Accounting... and the next is Basic Themes of Al-Qur'an..
The thing I want to share is what happen in the BTQ class ...
Our lecturer is a very young lecturer in his early 20...Brother Firdaus is what we call him...
A graduate from IIUM in Bachelor in Comparative Religion (major) and Islamic Finance (minor)..
and currently taking master in .... ( can't remember ) in IIUM ..so basically, him becoming our lecturer is some sort of practice...
OKAY...END WITH THE INTRO BOUT HIM..
here's the real deal...
What he told us are very encouraging and interesting~
1) enjoy your life as a student ~
* enjoy studying ...
* enjoy playing ...
* enjoy everything that you do ...
BUT!! there's a very thin line between two types of enjoy ...
ENJOY = PLAYING HAPPILY ALL THE TIME
VS
ENJOY = DOING IT SERIOUSLY AND HAPPILY
2) don't waste your time, your age.. your brain neuron on LOVE
He and his collegues did a research on what is the problem faced by students that makes them fail and so on..The result is LOVE!~
BD : Why did your result drop ?
Boy : My girlfriend just dumped me..
BD : Why did you fail your last paper ?
Girl : I just knew that my boyfriend cheated on me ..
SEE ??
he told us that, very little chance that your partner in university will be your partner in the future - husband..wife...you got out of university, you go to work...you'll meet new people..much more pretty..much more handsome..kinder...younger...smarter...whatever~ so, just close your heart for others...but for now only...open it when you're ready~
He told us kinda lots of story of his experience in handling a few cases .. I will only put two story as it's the only story that is fresh and detailed story in my mind .. ( since it's regarding religion, it have to be precise and detail )
1st CASE
*BD stands for BROTHER DAUS
A group of people@student met him said that they want to apostate ... they want to become a christian ..
BD : WHY ?
THEM : Christanity is easy ... can drink..smoke..do sex..for women,no need to cover aurah...and many more...
BD : THAT'S STUPID ! (he's not saying the religion is stupid.. NO ! what he meant is the thinking of the group that takes it quite lightly)..Christanity don't allow you to drink..drunk...you can't do sex(bfore marriage=zina)..and you can't wear sexy clothes...
THEM : But why did we see christians drink,smoke and etc .. ?
BD : Because they're bad christians...which will end up in hell according to christanity ... the same goes to Islam ..to being a muslim ... why do you have to choose the other way, if you'll end up in the same destination which is hell ?? If you becomes a bad christian, you'll end up in hell...If you becomes a bad muslim, you'll end up in hell as well .... SAME RIGHT ?
So, that group think and so, till now, ALHAMDULILLAH, they're still in ISLAM ... while BD and his friends@member@whatever are trying hard to make them to become a good muslim ...
2nd CASE
There's a case of a 15-year old girl pregnant..and a 17-year old boy is the father for the baby ...
The boy's family wanted the girl to abort the baby..but then, BD said "you've committed a very big sin which is ZINA. and now you want to commit another big sin which is killing ??? It's better if you keep the baby...repent your sin by being a good father and mother and takes VERY GOOD CARE of the baby" so, the girl didn't abort the baby...and they were asked to get married...during the NIKAH ceremony, the boy needs to recite the 'KHUTBAH NIKAH' that lines up the responsibilities of a husband and a father ... and that boy cried during reciting it..since he knew himself that it's pretty much impossible for him to do all of it...17-year old !! working ??!! everyone during the ceremony were crying ..(sad that their daughter..son..have to get married at a very young age..not knowing the hardships of life yet..) ...
SO, BEFORE YOU DO SOMETHING FOOLISH, THINK OF THE CONSEQUENCES FIRST !!
there's a lot of things that he share with us.., he's a very good lecturer...he knows how to attract students..he uses different approach than other Ustaz or ustazah ....insyaALLAH, I will share more things that I'll get in the future~ sharing is caring and caring is loving..and I love everyone that want to become someone good and better...
