Shaykh Abdul Nasir Jangda said something very important today. He said that the first and foremost reason we are here to gain knowledge is to apply it. If we have come from miles and miles away, leaving our homes, families, spouses, and friends, and learned everything from the program, but it has no effect on the way we deal with our family, with other people, or even with the way we drive, we have failed. We are failures.
Our intention should not be to become a rockstar imam or speaker. Our intention should be to better ourselves and our character.
"Knowledge is not that which is memorized; it is that which benefits."
I mentioned before that there is a goal I had recently which was not falling through. Well alhamdulillah this week everything as come together for me and I will be able to accomplish that goal once the Dream program is over. Allah has a time and place for everything, and as muslims it is important to trust in Allah and know that we are in good hands.
The Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) said: "And know that what has befallen you was not going to miss you, and that which has missed you was not meant to befall you."
