Abu Saif in Wangsa Maju

Yesterday, after going thru the heavy rain and jam, i arrived just on time before the end of 'waktu' Maghrib, in Surau Al Naim, Wangsa Maju. I wanted to listen to the kuliyah maghrib by Abu Saif. Alhamdulillah, Allah allows me to be his listener.....

Abu Saif, was everything that I had imagined, from reading his postings in his blog...SAIFULISLAM.COM. A very energetic, straight to the point ustaz, whom i found my fond acceptance. I like the way he thinks and express it in writing. So, yesterday was the first time seeing him in-person. InsyaAllah..... i would like to attend more of his kuliyah.

A lot of information was obtained during the kuliyah, where he talked about history of the OTTOMAN EMPIRE. I have one nothing but a feeling of shame, that I do not know the important history, that had shaped what Muslims are now. All muslims must learn the sirah of Rasulullah saw and the history of Islam and its empires.

Can we change the education system, or even the syllabus of Sejarah subject in school??? Loooonggg way to go huh!

I have one conclusion to make from the kuliyah in the broader term....

HISTORY SHAPED A PERSON AND ITS CULTURE, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT SHOULD BE A LESSON FOR A PERSON TO BE BETTER IN THE FUTURE....WITH USAHA, DOA AND TAWAKAL TO ALLAH.....
