Seeking Knowledge

Published by Jun | Filed under Daily Dose

I’ve been a stubborn son ever since and trying hard to be smart. I’ve been naughty and rebellious that puts me to trouble and in the end dragging my parents and love ones to the mess. Thus, every time I’m in serious dilemma i just wish i was never been born in this simple and yet complicated culture and diverse world. Why? I never learn a lesson and two. I’m given advised to do something about it to fix my mess but instead solving it, i make it more worst.

I’m trying to understand this life and my being a human person - to be better. Seeking knowledge was been and will be my passion until i reach my grave. It’s not the traditional seeking for knowledge like getting to school and setting your ass in the chair for hours like dumb in front your teacher. I’m just lazy staring the black/white board, i rather sleep in my chair then walk in the street after the class.

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

“Whoever takes a path seeking therein knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise. And Verily the Angels lower their wings to the student of knowledge due to their being pleased to what they do. Verily everything in the heavens and earth even the fish in the water ask that the scholar be forgiven (for their sins). The superiority of the scholar over the worshiper is like that of the moon over the rest of the stars. Verily the scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets. Surely the Prophets do not leave behind to be inherited dinaar nor dirham (money). Verily they only leave behind knowledge to be inherited, so whoever takes it has taken hold of a great prosperity.” [Abu Dawud and At Tirmidhee.]

Maybe because of my laziness is the reason that makes my journey so hard. Or i’m just making my destiny hard for myself? I’ve been searching for knowledge to answer many questions but yet instead of getting answer i have more questions popping up nor adding more questions to the lists. Scholars or teachers this days have different opinions and facts. Who’s the one telling the truth?

I will be forever a student and wandering at end of my lessons asking - will this lead me to paradise? will this paradise is the true happiness that every man searching for? I’ll be traveling all over the world if given a chance, maybe my answers is on the other side of my world or just in my mind trying to fool myself. I’m crazy.
