We also need to be concerned about the greater confrontations of our community. In this era of technology and communication revolution, many of us, the Muslims are being enslaved intellectually. We need to cogitate about our future generation because we will be responsible before Allah. We need to apply and disseminate our knowledge and not just concerned with building ‘reservoirs’ of knowledge. We need to design and fashion our future and not just stand passively and let others design and impose upon us their preconceived scenarios.
Conclusion
Matters of concern to the Muslims embodies the affairs of oneself, the community and the whole Muslim community (ummah). We need to create awareness among each other in confronting the issues and challenges of the ummah. For instance, this can be done through dialogues and talks. Those in authority have a greater responsibility in performing this task.We should be aware not to waste our time and effort in matters that are of no relevance or concern to us. We should keep ourselves busy only with matters of benefit and relevance to us and to the ummah.
We should not mistaken unity for uniformity, for unity does not necessarily mean uniformity. We can also agree to disagree in a way that is unifying us yet lack of uniformity can still exist.
And as usual, when you sleep over the bed of heedlessness in your youth, then be sure to tread on the path of regret during old age. Let me hasten to reiterate that seeking knowledge frees you from the captivity and prison of ignorance and darkness. So my good friends, brothers and sisters in Islam, seek beneficial knowledge and wisdom with the correct ethics, aiming to benefit society with the knowledge and hoping for reward from the Almighty Allah. Laziness is very attractive to ignorance, so wherever there is laziness in the quest for knowledge, be certain to find ignorance married happily to Mr. laziness, making a perfect couple with darkness as their residence. Corrections, criticisms and the like are welcome as usual. They keep me on my toes and on the look out for much information. Since information is key in this day and age.
