Burn baby burn
February 13th, 2004 byYou know you are possibly the least educated man in the office when even the receptionist (or the administration assistant) has a degree in law.
And you, you don’t even got your own mug at work.
He sat infront of me, an honest smile on his tired face. Physical fatigue battled mental strength and he continued on with his explanation. “You see, it is the responsibility of every muslim to educate themselves, even to their last dying breath. You have to improve, you have to become better and you have to excel in all that you do. To do anything less, no, it is not sufficient. It is insufficient. It is an insult. No. I say No!”
Best are those conversations that don’t start a roaring fire, but rather a flame small and strong that can burn and burn and burn away in you. For that fire adds on to your mind alive, to your intellect aroused, to soul aflame.
From this day of Eid onwards, may you all burn brighter.

There is no point to greater learning if it doesn’t lead to greater action.

I’m gonna have to agree with Owlie, learning has a point, in that the knowledge enables you to do something. Learning just for the sake of getting a degree though, might just be a waste of precious time. Hmmm

I have to agree with Owl too. Mashallah very true.
