:wa:
go ahead insha'Allah and ask on this thread!
1. i was planning on studing Islam and become a teacher/scholar in that field but my parents refused to let me study aboard so i decided to go to my second choice.it might sound ridiculous but i feel guilty.i feel like i left studying Islam for some modern job that pays in material to quick.should i rethink my decision before its too late?
There is no reason you can't be both.. focus on the most difficult first which is medicine. It will change your lifestyle and discipline you so you approach everything with that level of fidelity!
2. are you studing medicine and what advice do you have for a freshmen whose juts getting into the field.
I have recently graduated.
are you in England or the U.S
only two programs in the U.S offer medicine straight, the rest you'll likely need an undergrad or at least two years toward a bachelors. I'd advise (if you were in the U.S) to get an undergrad, just in case medical school proves to be taxing, you'll still have a bachelors of science!
3.medical school is very expensive.how did you pay for it with out getting a loan or paying Ribba?
That can prove difficult. I have taken some loans, then quit, and relied on family, then worked it out so that I'd seek credit cards that would give me 0% APR for 12 or 15 months, then switched as the period was about to be expire and found other means.. You can work at the same time to support some of your expenses but I don't recommend it. Some folks find Muslims to sponsor them and then pay them back. but mostly people either make major sacrifices and live on what their family can afford them or they take loans. If you are going to do that look into Islamic banking..
4.It takes about 8 years on averga to become a physician.is it worth it
Only you can be the judge of that.. it is a matter of priorities but many people do it.. there are many Muslims in Medicine. Just know that it isn't a casual study course you'll have to dedicate every night of your life to studying..
