"and say: `My Lord! Increase me in knowledge" [Quran, 20:114] السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته "O you who believe answer the call of Allah(swt) and His Messenger to that which gives you life." (8:24)These past few days I've been trying to cram religious studies (via youtube and reading tafsir online) as well as trying to get my assignments completed. Today I saw a video posted in my friends Facebook regarding people who have degrees, masters, and doctorates who can't or do not even know how to take care of a jenazah.
I did go to a class for this matter but it seems that if I do not repeat it I would forget and it seems that it is the same for any religious knowledge (or not) that I've been gathering this few years of being alive. So I'm sharing here a kalimah that I once read to ask Allah to increase our knowledge. I wonder if there is one to ask Him to keep it stuck in my head. Anyone know any?
Also this few days there were talks that I could have attended but I had to forgo due to my stupid illness. *have patience*
Hence, instead of cursing what God has given me I've tried my best to study what I can from my room (Although I am quite put out that I can't attend talks and usrah sessions with my sisters). *patience*
This sickness is giving me a period for self reflection (the picture ain't pretty). I've been trying to hamper down my anger towards my juniors and I've been trying to avoid excessive spending. One thing I don't like about this sickness is that I have not enough energy and it seems like when my body is weak, my heart and mind must be stronger to overcome this weakness. "God Almighty, make my mind and heart solid like the mountains on this Earth so that none may alter it save for You the Creator of all things. Make them strong so that even though I'm breaking outside, let my foundation and inner self be unbreakable."
Alhamdulillah
