4 Simple Steps To Be An Active Student

Bismillahirrahmaanirrahim;

Are you a passive student? With these 4 simple steps, you can change your studying style. Its not good to be passive; be proactive and enthusiast! Insya-Allah you'll succeed in everything you do. I just read that article, therefore I would like to share it.

#1. Lecture Preview.

Think like we are on war, with loaded arms and ready for an assault. This step will make student A different from average students. Spend 20-30 minutes before lecture session start. You might know what will be discussed in the lecture; do not come in class empty. Try to get some ideas. Advantage: You'll learn almost 90% of the topics than your friend in class.

You'll make a blur face, if you come empty. "duhh~" "what the heck?"

#2. Ask question(s).

Come to class with your mind set: questioning. Can be applied in any situation whether reading a book or etc., with questioning in yourself. In lecture session, provided you done the #1, you are now should have questions, do ask lecturer for clarification. Do not ask lame question. If you make revision do ask your friend for help. If you ask, then you understand.

"Why U no Ask Question? So clever aa.."

#3. Sit in front.

This is a taboo especially male students; it's not cool to sit infront, its for nerds.No,no. That is not a good habit to practice. You came to class to learn. To gain knowledge. To 'download' the knowledge from your teacher. As I mention before; you are on war. Be the front line; with honour and dignity. Sitting in front is a discipline. And you'll get a full attention on the lectures.

"Dare to accept this challenge?"

#4. Add-up

Try to make effort to search for extra material. This will expand your knowledge and you'll get a bigger picture what is the lecture all about. Have some time to meet your teacher (out from class).

Follow these steps you'll be no.1 student in no time

TIPS: Try to create a connection between what you have learned to your surrounding; try to imagine with your own imagination to help your understanding!

The Rawatib Sunnah Prayer (Hadith Index)

Bismillahirrahmaanirrahim;

Insya-Allah, I will discuss more about the Sunnah Rawatib; which I decided to sort of Hadith that I have searched to clarify and to more ease for reference. In earlier post, which under the same subject, I did not emphasize so much about the matn and lafzh (textual and contextual) of the Hadith (because the book does not mention the text of the hadith). Therefore, I try my best to list out all hadith with some explanation to get a clear picture.

1. Hadith about the importance of Sunnah Rawatib; From Ummu Habibah Radiallahuanha, wive of the Prophet SAW, reported that, Rasulullah said;

عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ :

( مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مُسْلِمٍ يُصَلِّي لِلَّهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً تَطَوُّعًا غَيْرَ فَرِيضَةٍ إِلَّا بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَوْ إِلَّا بُنِيَ لَهُ بَيْتٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ )

{"There would be no Muslim performing prayer in the name of Allah 12 raka'at in a day for tathawwu' and not fardhu, unless Allah will build for him/her a house in the jannah (heaven). Hadith Riwayah Muslim."}

In riwayah of Tirmidzi and An-Nasa-i, the 12 raka'at are referred to 4 raka'at before Zuhr, 2 raka'at after Zuhr, 2 raka'at after Maghrib, 2 raka'at after Isha' and 2 raka'at before Subuh. [Status: Shahih Hadith]. From the hadith, Allah promised that to whom that continuously or maintain to perform 12 raka'at Sunnah Rawatib in a day, verily, Allah will reward him/her a house in Jannah.

2. Hadith about the priority of Sunnah Rawatib Subuh prayer; From 'Aisyah Radiallahuanha, from Rasulullah SAW, he said;

وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : « رَكْعَتَا الْفَجْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا » .

وَفي روايةٍ لِمُسْلِم : « لَهُمَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا جَمِيعاً » .

{"Those 2 raka'at is more I love than that in the world and all that bear in it"}

[Status: Shahih Hadith] Riwayah Muslim. This Hadith asy-syareef shows that the sunnah fajr is strongly recommended to be performed by all Muslim because the Prophet Muhammad SAW oftenly and love to do the prayer. As a good muslim; who loves the beloved prophet, we should try our best to do whatever Rasulullah SAW do; -may Allah guide us.

(insya-Allah, I'll continue this post later, 2 hadith for now-humble author)
