\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This week, I came to class prepared with Surah\u2019s Rabij Alni, and Draudi Ibrahim memorized in English. We started class as usual and did 2 cycles of practice prayer. Then, we did about 10 minutes of meditation. After that, the teacher told me to explain to a new student how we usually start off the class, and I explained that we start off by reciting the pledge of allegiance while facing the flag, the pledge of faith while facing the qibla, and then finally we recite Surah Al-Fatiah in English while facing the front of the classroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We started with a quick puzzle, the puzzle had a couple of words, and a couple of letters scrambled next to it. The objective was to unscramble the letters into a synonym of the word given. For example, if the word given was \u201cBet\u201d and had the letters A, R,E,W, and G scrambled next to it. You would unscramble the letters to make the word \u201cWager\u201d which is a Synonym of the word \u201cBet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nOnce we finished with the puzzle, we went straight into testing on what\nwe were supposed to learn. I went up and tested on Surah\u2019s Rabij-Alni, and\nDraudi Ibrahim in both English and Arabic. I successfully recited both the\nSurah\u2019s in both languages and was told to go with another teacher and refresh\neverything I\u2019ve learned so far to be tested again. So, I took about 15 minutes\nmaking sure I had everything down with the help of the other teacher. Once I\nwas confident, I went back up to the main teacher and tested on everything I\nneed to say while praying. This consisted of how to start the prayer, what to\nsay while praying, the Surah\u2019s I’ve learned so far, and their translation in\nEnglish. I successfully recited all of them, except for Surah al-Maaoon which I\nhaven\u2019t learned yet. I was told to memorize that by next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nAfter testing, we all sat down and the main teacher started talking\nabout certain topics. One thing he talked about was the 3 P\u2019s (Power, Poverty,\nand Passion). He described how people with more power have more influence, He\nused a Pyramid to represent the level of powers, the top being the most\npowerful, and the bottom being the least. He explained how if you get a\nBachelor\u2019s degree, you’re not very influential and aren\u2019t pushing yourself\nenough, and are most likely a sheep. Which means you follow others, instead of\nleading. He then went on to explain how if you get the Master\u2019s Degree, you are\nlikely to be a goat, which means you may lead others, but not always. Lastly,\nhe described how if you have a PHD, you are a goat and have the power to\ninfluence others, have respect, and have more valued opinions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nAnother thing he discussed was Invocation, he explained how we should\nalways invoke god but not always expect to get everything we want. He explained\nhow God knows what\u2019s best for us, and that we have to do our part as well\ninstead of relying on god. For example, if you invoke god before taking a test,\ngod will make sure nothing happens on the way, such as a car crash resulting in\nnot being able to take the test in time, etc. However, if you don\u2019t study, you\ncan\u2019t expect god to just put the knowledge into your head, and that’s where you\nneed to do your part by taking the time to study. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He\nalso discussed how every good thing we do leads to more good decisions and how\nevery bad thing leads to even more bad decisions. For example, if you try a\ndrug, you will be tempted to try even more drugs, and if you decide to stay\nway, you won’t be<\/p>\n\n\n\n
tempted and will be saved from addiction,\nhealth problems, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nFinally, the teacher discussed how the only reason we exist, is to make\nthe world a better place. He explained why we should take care of the earth,\nand how you get tested on if you made the world a better place on the day of\njudgment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In\nconclusion, I learned that we all exist to make the world a better place, we\nshould always invoke god, the power of Surah al-Fatiah, and how God knows\nwhat’s best for us. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
