You will die one day

Having worldly knowledge helps one to appreciate and understand Allahs creation and His attributes.

i just dropped psychology last month coz i hate studying. I don't c how spending so much of ur life studying can help u understand Allah's creation. I mean i've done my GCSE's so that should be enough.
Learning about ur religion is what'll actually help us understand everything.

[Eliwen]

Asma1: You're not gonna get anywhere without education...If you leave school after GCSE you're most probably not gonna get a good jod...so how will you provide for your family?

Of course for women we don't have to work...

 

[aisha_muslimah]

[Snowflake]

No sorry.. but ur question reminded me of a true story regarding A-levels..

This guy we knew was a bit slow. So anyway one day his mate introduced him to a couple of his female friends. All was going well until one girl asked him what he was studying. He told her he was doing his A-levels. She then proceeded to ask him where he was studying. Lolzzzzzzz he told her he was studying at Aston University!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

I'm doing AS right now, but I don't feel theres any point me working for TOP grades, I mean, most of the good Uni's and Courses with AAB-ABB offers, take into consideration GCSE's and mine were OK-ish. So I may as well settle for a mediocre university, mediocre course.

Damn if only I knew how important GCSE's are in certain things:rant:

^ Just thought I'd add, in an ideal world I would have liked to have served the army, but its "un-islamic" so yeah....

You can serve the army. Yes. You can be a soldier of Allah and fight for Islam.

Learning about Islam is important than anything else in the world.

Your deen and religion is more important than a whole load of nonsense about maths and science.

This is fine as a guide for individuals, but is it a sensible piece of advice to offer all Muslims? It is just not possible for every single Muslim to learn nothing but Islam. People have to work to support their communities and families. There can be no mosques, no Imams, unless there are people who can earn a living and give them support. Think about what you are telling young Muslims? Do you think that perhaps it would be better to say to young Muslim students that they have an obligation to work hard to support their families? They have an obligation to study and get into University if they can to increase their skills and knowledge base and so enrich the entire Muslim community? And that they also have a obligation to study their religion no less seriously? If you tell young people that maths and science is nonsense they will not study it. Do you think you have any responsibility here to make sure young Muslims get an education and don't just sit around on the dole?
