bismillah.

first of all, i have noticed that this song is a bit cheesy. oh well, i still like it.

secondly, i heard prof tariq ramadan's talk at ISNA (on youtube) and he truly is an exceptional speaker. his ideas are very clear and very relevant in today's time. and i feel that the problem has always been at the back of my mind, but it is reassuring for him to point out what was actually the case.

what i found interesting was what he said about knowledge. "We should use the knowledge to be close to Allah, and we should get knowledge to serve, not to be served...We are not seeking knowledge to be served, we are not seeking knowledge for our ego.."

so if what we're learning is not making us closer to Allah, maybe there's something that needs to be fixed.

thirdly, knowing the theory and learning to practice or apply it are two definitely different aspects. and i think the endpoint for learning a theory is for us to actually apply it. which reminds me, i need to learn to do the musculoskeletal examination, and to make sure i really learn it is to be able to practice it on people. so who wants to volunteer being my subject? ^.^

مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلِنَفْسِهِ وَمَنْ أَسَاءَ فَعَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُونَ
(45:15) Whoever acts righteously, does so to his own good; and whoever commits an evil will suffer its consequence. All of you will then be sent back to your Lord.

warm wishes! xx
