let me share what Imam Suhaib Webb wrote on his facebook's status
Suhaib Webb : My first teacher (the one pictured on the left), when I would got to study with him would hold up the lesson for 30 minutes asking me about my family. I would get upset- wanting to just get the ilm. One day he turned to me and said, "All of these things I'm asking you about: your family, friends, school and neighbors, ...that is the proof of your knowledge." Then I understood that Ilm=Adab.
(you can check out his website)when i met someone, i would love to know about his/her family and school. it comes naturally until i read his status. but for friends and neighbors, i'm not so choosy about that. family is something runs in our vein and school is something we work for.
I really want to go to his talk tonight. but yesterday my boss screwed me and i am this close of getting fired.
You should have come to his talk last week. The title was "What if this was my last ramadhan", but he spoke more about adab. I guess he felt that it is more important to discuss adab with Malaysian. lol.
ReplyDeleteIt was great. He basically quoted all his FB status for that day. lol.Hopefully you'll get to catch him next year, inshaAllah.
