Inspirational vs Trasnformative knowledge

October 28, 2017 by Sajid Umar Leave a Comment

Assalamualaikum everyone.

I pray you are well. May Allah reward you all for your reading and participation in relation to the earlier post about ‘too much movement but very little progress. ‘

For those who requested actual case studies for further clarity; I will attempt to put together an article titled (Transformers) – may Allah bless my time to do so! Ameen.

This article will inShaAllah focus on the aspect of inspirational knowledge acquisition vs trasnformative knowledge aquisition, especially in relation to current learning trends which has a lot of movement, but sadly- through observation, inadequate transformation.

You know; when we were younger, most of us were introduced in school to the timeless classic Alice’s adventures in wonderland, by Charles Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carrol.

Which of these groups are you part of…

October 28, 2017 by Sajid Umar Leave a Comment

Assalamualaikum everyone. I pray you are all well.

In my time travelling to different communities sharing messages of ignition for the ummah; I have come to realise that people fall into one of the following categories with regards to living a life of substance:

1. Those who have little or no movement and thus have no progress. They are uninspired & lack motivation.

The Advantage of the Youth

October 28, 2017 by Sajid Umar Leave a Comment

Muhammad al-Maruzi said:

“It was said that the mud will swallow up a ring so long as it is still soft.

In other words, knowledge should be sought after- when one is still young.”

The younger you are, the softer your heart and mind will be due to the distance between you and sin. This period denotes the most pro-active period for the absorption of guidance.

Many a parent say that these are the years to enjoy life…

As a Muslim we really should be saying that

(these are the years to lay the foundations for an enjoyable life!)

May we take heed.

A pinch of probably, is worth a pound of perhaps.

October 28, 2017 by Sajid Umar Leave a Comment

Assalamualaikum everyone…

An American humorist once wrote: “A pinch of probably, is worth a pound of perhaps.”

It is a very telling statement and one that requires much deliberation!

In terms of my contemplations; I understand from his statement that we as a people don’t live in a world of perhapses, but of probabilities. We live is a world of calculated risk, rather than one of complete uncertainty.

Risk is a part of every sphere of life and in the words of Winston Churchill, without it, the drama of life would be destroyed!

If this is true about risk; then risk management can never be seperated from success.

My dear brothers & sisters…
We are and will always be a product of our decisions & every decision we make will either create positive outcomes, or negative consequences.

Learning Arabic the easy way!

October 15, 2017 by Sajid Umar Leave a Comment

Assalamualaikum everyone. During my travels; I am continuously asked about learning Arabic, and in particular the approach towards it and the tools that can be used to remove the learning barriers.   

For a long time, as a tool, I have been advising towards the use of flash cards especially for vocabulary development, as opposed to pure rote memorization.

Recently, I came across this well recommended book that also advises towards the use of flash cards and much much more. There are a lot of useful techniques & discussions to assist the process.

With science so well progressed and there being so much more knowledge of how the brain works in relation to language; it’s about time someone pieced it together in a practical sense!

It comes highly recommended and has some sterling reviews.

In fact the author is now working on a language app that has now become the most funded language app on kick-starter.

In any case I think you can start with the book. If you are not a better listener; the book is available on audible as well.
