Ya Allah Allow the Quran to be a light & guidance for our lives.Ya Allah, grant us what we love, in the way you love.

👌 it's not about diploma or degrees. It's all about being able to use your intellect and thinking. Doing the right thing at the right time, for example. Surrendering to Allah and his commands in all circumstances makes you wiser inevitably. And Allah knows best. May Allah grant us the ability to use the blessings that He (swt) gave us for His sake only 🤲 امين

That's the difference between educated and knowledgeable persons . May Allah make me an intellectual, a wiser person than who I am right now ❤️🤲 Ameen.

True, degree is just a tool to get oneself job. Most of the rich businessmen are without any degree. I have intentionally not used the word "successfull" as being rich is incorrect way of measuring someone success. Actual success is being higher in Taqwa and abiding or living life by Allah's laid down rules in Quran and Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

[johntravis]

It's knowledge(ilm) vs wisdom(hikma).
One is an enyclopedia of facts
The other is how to use it properly.
Allahuakbar. Salam laykum.

[kaibnax]

I heard someone call them educated fools. May Allah guide us and grant us knowledge and wisdom to apply it

[iddrisuibrahim]

Maa Shaa Allah.
True Sheikh. JAK for your education.

[bayuhartanto]

It reminds me of Sheikh Ahmed Deedat, without formal education, yet so smart and full of wisdom.

Exactly said by ustad...same observation for me....

[Inconvenienttruths-ol]

History, literature and Geography were my favourites!

[ayya]

I experience the same phenomenon too, sir~ ❤

[Talmagett]

So the point is read history and literature 👌🏻

[sheikarman]

SubhanAllah Alhamdulillah la ilaha ilAllah Allahu Akbar

[afridajahan]

I always loved literature & history, still do

[ZarqaMushtaq-bt]

When I was in school my favourite subjects were history, literature and maths and everyone even my teachers were irritated with me😂😂😂😂

[Akram-the-maahir]

I hate Social subjects because they mostly focus on non-muslim history or achievements but the History of the Prophets i like them specially Prophet MOHAMMED ❤

[samiunnisa]

Stuggles teach many things in life. Many stuggles much wiser.

[Subzar_Ahmad]

It took me 25 years and a B-Tech degree to realize that subjects that were supposed to be studied were with the arts stream. 😅😅

Problem is schools focus on memorization, not the fun of learning. Hated history classes becuase we needed to memorize over 100 dates for random events for tests. Took away from the actual deeper learning and interest on the topic

Even some teachers in schools are very impatient and intolerant more than goons or cops.
