The Muslim Student’s Guide ~Idris Zahoor

Image
To University and Beyond: A Pathway to Success in Dunya and Akhirah University is often considered the final stage of formal academic education, a vibrant ecosystem that mirrors the complexities and diversity of the real world. It is a space where globally recognized professors, researchers, and ambitious students converge in pursuit of knowledge, ideas, and innovations that aim to benefit individuals, societies, and economies. Amid this intellectual hub, students come with different goals, many of which are centered around worldly achievements such as career advancement, financial success, and social prestige. However, for a Muslim student, the purpose of seeking knowledge should transcend worldly ambitions. While striving for academic and professional excellence is commendable, it must be accompanied by a sincere intention to please Allah, seek His forgiveness, and ultimately secure a place in Jannah al-Firdaws. In Islam, the pursuit of knowledge is not only a right but a religio...

Exploring Terengganu

  A combination of Nature, Culture, and Connection At the end of my first semester, I felt the need to escape the structured and confined atmosphere of academic life and immerse myself in nature to recharge. That chance came through a meaningful three-day trip to Terengganu with a group of my brothers in class.  Our destination was a place I had only imagined until then—Malaysia’s east coast, famous for its crystal-clear waters, tranquil islands, and rich cultural heritage. What awaited us was far more than just a vacation; it was a collection of first-time experiences, unexpected lessons, and unforgettable memories. From the moment we set out, everything about the trip felt exciting and new. It was my first time sailing, and the sensation of being on open water, surrounded by the sea’s endless horizon, was too magical to believe. We explored the marine world up close—feeding fish, swimming with sea turtles, and snorkeling among vibrant coral reefs. The colors and movem...

First Month, First Impressions A month has passed since I left my home, embarking on an exciting new chapter in elsewhere for my first time. In just four weeks, I have been immersed in a world filled with vibrant culture, modern infrastructure, academic excellence, and warm hospitality. This experience has been nothing short of eye-opening, and I am thrilled to share my observations and insights. The moment I arrived at the airport; I was immediately struck by the immense level of development in the country. The well-structured roads, massive bridges, high-speed trains, and towering skyscrapers showcase the country’s impressive infrastructure. Walking through the city, I was amazed by the organization of markets and shopping centers, which are designed to provide a seamless experience. The digitalization of services, especially in payments, makes daily transactions effortless, adding to the efficiency of life here. One of the most fascinating aspects of Malaysia is its incredible diver...

Soo Koobid (Taariikh nololeedkii Cabdi Faarax Saciid "JUXA") Nolol aad qabatintay ka hayaamisteed iyo u hanqaltaagga mid kaa dheeri waa jar iska xoornimo, mugdi badana wey leedahay. Qofka astaantaas lagu arkana waxa loo yaqaan ruux aan habeen jirin, ama aan waaya'arag ahayn. Taasi waxay keentay in aynu niyadda usii dayno deegaanka aynu indhaha ku kala qaadnay. Inkasta oo dhaqan ahaan aynu nahay bulsho reer-guuraa ah oo baadi-goob ugu jira dad iyo xoolaba wixii ay calfan lahaayeen, hadana kollayba ma sahlana ka diga-rogoshada nolol aad baratay waxay gasho iyo waxay gudo. Koombe waa wiil safarkiisa nololeed ka bilowday ka warkeenka nolol ka dahsoon. Waxa uu ahaa wiil reer miyi ah oo ku kacaamay nolol awooweyaasheen aynu kasoo gaadhnay oo dhib iyo dheefba leh.

Maax waa wiil curad u ah reer ka kooban todoba caruur ah iyo labadoodii waalid. Qoyskoodu waa reer miyi dhaqda xoolo kafeeya noloshooda oo nimco ayay ku jiraan. Degellkan ay degan yihiin waxa uu baahi weyn u qabaa goobo waxbarasho, sidaa awgeed ayay odeyaasha deegaanku oo uu ka mid yahay Aabo Gahayr ay codsiyo kala duwan u direen dawladda si ay wax-uga qabato baahida ay qabaan. Tiroba ilaa afar jeer oo kala duwana waxay tageenba magaalada bal in codsigoodu tixgelin yeesho.  Markii ay cidi dhag jalaq usiin weyday, ayuu Gahayr la tashaday ooridiisa Aamina oo Maax hooyadii ahayd. Markii ay rog-rogeen arrinkii, waxay isla garteen inay Maax u diraan Magaalada si uu wax uga barto. Magaalada waxa degenaa nin ay Gahayr ilmaadeer yihiin, Maaxna adeer u ah oo lagu magacaabo aw-Maxamuud. Maax waxa loo soo diray magaaladii, farriin uu aabihii u faray adeerkii Aw-Maxamuudna wuu sidaa oo ahayd u jeedka socdaalkiisa iyo inuu damcay in wiilku la joogo, waxbarashadana ku daro.
