Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

Would like to share a sharing with my beloved sister,

Etiquettes of a Student of Knowledge - Adaab with ourselves
by Syeikh Yasir Qadhi

*Diceritakan pada saya, Muhammad Ibn Sirin, salah seorang pelajar Abu Hurayrah, katanya orang2 sebelumnya belajar akhlaq sama seperti belajar ilmu2 lain. Betapa pentingnya akhlaq hingga disamakan masa belajarnya dengan ilmu2 lain!

1. Sincerity
1. semua dah tahu dan faham kan maksud ikhlas ni? ;)
2. Cleanse your heart from jealousy
1. from jealousy, envy, evil feeling towards other students.
3. Leave doing sins
1. Imam Syafi'e mengadu pada gurunya, Waqi' Ibn Jarah dia tak mampu menghafaz. Kata Waqi': Tinggalkan dosa dan bertaubatlah.
4. Know the importance of knowledge
1. Fahamkan betul2 apa yang kita belajar as kita nak ajar orang lain selepas itu. Kalau tak faham, cari juga jalan untuk faham sebab kita 'kena ajar orang lain'.
5. Good Study Habit
1. Pastikan ada schedule masing2 - bila nak revise, buat homework, study benda baru.
6. Choose proper companions
1. Kawan yang baik ibarat minyak wangi, sebaliknya ibarat pembuat arang. Even if the good friend doesn’t give you perfume, you will still smell the goodness or even pickup the scent. Even if the bad friend doesn’t burn you , you will still smell his stench and might pick it up.
7. Try to study at the earliest age
1. Scholars say: “To memorize while your a child is like inscribing on a rock, and to memorize when your old is like writing with a stick on the water”
   
8. Must have patience
1. Don't give up!
9. Take notes
1. Rasulullah s.a.w said, mafhumnya: Trap knowledge by writing it.
2. Bila kita menulis, kita akan lebih faham & guna notes sendiri akan lebih faham berbanding guna notes orang lain.

Itulah kira2nya... Untuk di Malaysia, maybe sudah bercuti, dapat result, muhasabah la kembali study style kita. Untuk di US, juga di UK yang belum habis, have you done all these?
