Question : Have I been wasting my time all these years trying to figure out why my mother-in-law is the way she is - always criticizing me - when i should have been trying to figure out why it bothers me so much?
Answer : My dear lady, the reason she criticizes you is because you didn't marry her son sooner! She'd been trying to get rid of him for years! After living with him for awhile, can't you see why she wanted to lose him earlier?
Seriously, the thing is that we have an inner criticizer who don't leave us alone. And because we listen to that voice inside us, we also listen to the person outside. We have to see clearly that this is the case. When we do see it fully, both criticizers will cease to have any effect on us. Who we really are has no connection with either one.

Basic Reading Strategies

1) Intensive Reading
2) Scanning
- Used when you look through reference material or directories to quickly find small pieces of information.
- A skill that most people understand, but do not use nearly enough.
- Many individuals could increase their reading speed simply by using index pages of books to find the information they want.
3) Skimming
- When the index/contents page fails, then you will be forced to skim. To skim a book, you read it in the following order:
(3a) The Contents Page
(3b) The Conclusion/Introduction
(3c) For Each Relevant Chapter:
- Summary
- First paragraph
- First and last sentence of other paragraphs
(3d) Intensively Read Key Information
- By doing this, you can gain an overview of a book and from there you can decide if it is going to be useful.
4) Referencing
5) Searching

Rindu Bau Pohon Tin

[At-Taubah: 122]
[122] Dan tidaklah (betul dan elok) orang-orang yang beriman keluar semuanya (pergi berperang); oleh itu, hendaklah keluar sebahagian sahaja dari tiap-tiap puak di antara mereka, supaya orang-orang (yang tinggal) itu mempelajari secara mendalam ilmu yang dituntut di dalam agama dan supaya mereka dapat mengajar kaumnya (yang keluar berjuang) apabila orang-orang itu kembali kepada mereka; mudah-mudahan mereka dapat berjaga-jaga (dari melakukan larangan Allah).
Menuntut Ilmu Satu Kewajipan
Sesungguhnya besar sekali makna yang terungkap di sebalik kalimah 'Nafara' yang difirmankan Allah SWT di dalam ayat ini (at-taubah: 122).
Menuntut ilmu di jalan Allah SWT benar-benar sebuah peperangan. Pengorbanan yang diperlukan besar kerana harganya mahal. Harganya mahal kerana nilainya tinggi. Nilainya tinggi kerana 'agenda' melahirkan ilmuwan pewaris Nabi.
Tugas yang dipikulkan ke atas penuntut ilmu di jalan Allah bukan sekadar memberi 'Taalim', memberi tahu.
Allah SWT memberitahu bahawa tugas penuntut ilmu di jalan Allah SWT sama seperti tugas seorang Rasul iaitu menyampaikan sebuah 'inzar' (al-muddatsir: 2).
Inzar bukan sekadar memberitahu. Ia lebih daripada itu. Inzar memberi pelajaran tentang kebaikan, juga memberi amaran tentang keburukan.
Inzar mengajak kepada yang maaruf disertakan juga seruan mencegah dan meninggalkan munkar. Inzar adalah sebuah mesej yang hidup agar ummah sentiasa berjaga-jaga.
"... di celah pohon zaitun yang rendang, bersemadi syuhada pahlawan islam, menanti dan terus menanti, hadirnya barisan waris perjuangan..."
