““And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are

grateful, I will surely increase you [in favour]; but if you grateful, I will surely increase you [in favour]; but if you

Information gathered are like pieces of jig-saw puzzle.

It may seem quite easy to get them, especially when they seem to

be scattered about almost everywhere.

Some people are keen to only gather them; to pick them up; to

steal these pieces; and are obsessed with merely having as much of

them as possible – not realizing its true meaning, its true significance,

its true worth to benefit from it, its place and purpose to us.

Thus, some people may feel that they have ‘knowledge’, whereas

what they possess may just be merely ‘information’.

Actually by “knowledge”, we are referring to the relevant

“meaning” from that subject that we “seek to acquire, arriving in our

soul ...” – not merely the subject.

The “Soul” (or sometimes referred to as the ‘heart’, ‘mind’ or

‘intellect’) is the spiritual Self (of who we are) - our cognitive essence,

capable of knowing and of learning.

Page 6: [Slideshare] fiqh-course (august 2014-batch) -# 17-epilogue-consolidation-(17-december-2014)

Thus education is said to be “organic” liken to a living organism –

which pertains, primarily, to the growth (of meaning, realization and

actualization) of our soul.

Education, from the Islamic perspective, is not a mechanical

construct, but it entails nurturing of a Muslim with ‘Life’ – and the

Islamic educators to be likened as the ‘gardeners ’ not ‘engineers’.

““O you who have believed, respond to Allah and to the Messenger O you who have believed, respond to Allah and to the Messenger

when he calls you to that which gives you life.”when he calls you to that which gives you life.”

((Qur’an: Anfaal: 8: 24Qur’an: Anfaal: 8: 24))All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2014))

Page 7: [Slideshare] fiqh-course (august 2014-batch) -# 17-epilogue-consolidation-(17-december-2014)

Actually, (in Islamic education), when acquiring any pieces of it

(information), a student should also be learning what its meaning and

significance is, and how it is to be applied (fixed or connected) unto

whatever understanding he/she already possess thus far – increasing

spiritual growth.

This can only be possible when such pieces are given to them by one

who has true ownership of these, and who consents to give these to

them and helps them with how they should understand the meanings

from these, and to form (or attach) them unto their overall worldview.

Page 8: [Slideshare] fiqh-course (august 2014-batch) -# 17-epilogue-consolidation-(17-december-2014)

Thus, students must be learning from the right person, i.e. those who

have ‘seen’ the full - the completed picture.; those who have traversed

the path themselves. Only such are the ones who can rightfully teach

them how they are to make each piece to become meaningful to what

they already possess.

And those nurturing them (i.e. Islamic educators) must be those who

regard this duty as a sacred trust (Amanah). They only teach what is

needed, and in the quantum in accordance with the condition of the

student – bequething only to those deserving.

Just like a gardener who must have knowledge of the growth of the

plant, its history and environment, its threat etc. Islamic teachers too

are perpetual learner with equal devotion to whomever they nurture.All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2014))

“ Educators are like gardeners, the best of them are the local gardeners

with the most experience, who have been living with and nurturing the

plants and being the caretaker of its ornaments. Although they are often

unassuming by avoiding the gaze of people admiring the garden, yet

ignoring them is indeed ignorant heedlessness, compounded with

ingratitude, while preferring others less able over them is injustice ”

'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favour]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe”

(Qur’an: Surah Ibrahim: 14: 7)

And the manner or approach towards making it meaningful

(enlightening), may be seen from various perspectives (angles) amongst

fellow students in the same class, because each student, although may

have a limited vision of what the teacher was teaching, may be granted

new meanings - ‘arriving in his soul’. Thus in traditional teaching

sessions, ‘knowledge’ expands and increases.

Thus being physically present in class with a teacher, learning face-to-

face, sharing what they have learnt with the teacher and fellow students,

seeking constant guidance etc. has always been a highly valued

traditional method (which, unfortunately, we may have lost or slowly

losing through neglect). Complementing the learning outside the class is

the ‘Halaqah’ (study circle).All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2014))

Thus, reflections in the Halaqah are encouraged – to brighten the learning journey through sharing experiences.

Meanings do arrive differently in students while in the class.

Insha Allah, more would be derived when students continue to

revise or be engaged in re-visiting the lessons among themselves

through this Halaqah. May Allah grant us increase of its benefits. Although they may receive light from just one candle, the

presence of and reflections from many mirrors can enhance

illumination and brighten ‘dark spots’. Remember too that mirrors reflect best when they are constantly

kept clean and unblemished.

Yes we may seemed to have learnt a lot, and many may ‘marvel’ at

their acquired ‘knowledge’ and ‘attainment’. Yet somehow within us, our

inquisitive nature is always present , aware that there are more important

questions still in us needing answers. Some simply choose to avoid these,

(though they are now aware) of something which they “do not know.”

understanding in the making.

If you live to reach the Essence one day, then your life itself is an
