And say: O Lord! Increase for me my knowledgeAnd say: O Lord! Increase for me my knowledge

““And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you areAnd [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are
grateful, I will surely increase you [in favour]; but if yougrateful, I will surely increase you [in favour]; but if you
deny (ungrateful), indeed, My punishment is severe.' “deny (ungrateful), indeed, My punishment is severe.' “
((Qur’an: Ibrahim: 14: 7Qur’an: Ibrahim: 14: 7))

 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.

 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 MessengerO 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))

 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.

 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 – bequeathing 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.

“ Educators are like gardeners
'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)

Sincere Advice
yet ignoring them is indeed ignorant heedlessness, compounded with
ingratitude,
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,
while preferring others less able over them is injustice ”

 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).

 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.

 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.”

If you keep seeking the jewel of understanding, then you are a mine of
understanding in the making.
If you live to reach the Essence one day, then your life itself is an
expression of the Essence.
Know that in the final analysis you are that which you search for.
