Just One Hour...

A person can not become a good moslem just because they were born from moslem parents nor raised in a moslem family. A person can only become a good moslem by having a knowledge about Islam. It is because Islam can only be achieved through knowledge. Without knowledge, we will walk in ignorance along the way and be fooled by dajjal (evil). By having knowledge of Islam, we will discover that Islam is the only true path in our lives. If we see thru and live in Islam in every step of our life, only then will we be able to acknowledge and avoid the path of the kufr, syirk, bid’ah and immorality that are standing in our way.

If we realise that, then why don’t we act seriously and work hard in finding the true knowledge of Islam where we depend ourselves to be called a good moslem and continue to being a moslem for rest of our lives? Isn’t it true that if we are not really serious in finding the knowledge of Islam, we will end up loosing something that is utmost valuable for ourselves, our iman or faith? Isn’t it true that our iman is the utmost valuable thing for us, even than our life itself?

Let’s spare a little of our so many times that we spend to work and chase the world. Can’t we just spend one tenth of our times to protect our iman? Just one hour out of the 24-hour that we have in a day that we reserve our time for learning and studying about our diin, understanding the essence of Al-Quran and searching the real meaning of why Allah SWT reveal HIS divine revelation in the Al-Quran.

For us, our iman is the utmost precious thing compare to all the things that exist in this world. It is not hard for us to spare just one hour of our time everyday to learn, study and understand the knowledge of Islam. Just one hour a day... everyday...

And... this was, is and will be my resolution every year, including this year of 2008... insha Allah...
