Last week class that being held by Dr Mat Rofa brought a
very significant impact to me. Listening to Dr Mat Rofa’s lecture blew my mind and broadens my
perspective towards how I see the world.
He is an author of Bicarawara Sains Islam, and he has a wide knowledge
about science and he also studied on how the education itself can be a
deception for us.
He came with 100++ slides to be shared with us. First of all, he told us the background of
our ministry of education (Malaysia). He told that at first our ministry were named with
“ministry of lesson” until we once realized that there is no “ministry of
lesson” and we changed it to “ministry of education”. This gave me a picture on
how we’re trying to adapt and improvise our education. Because we understand
that to build a civilization we need educated people not only people with
lesson because everyone can get a lesson but not all of us can be an educated
person which include the integrity and moral in oneself.
But then, we observed that as people become more educated,
they become far away from the religion. This is where the deception lies. This
is not fair on how we can forget the Creator while we learn about His creation.
This is illogical ! But that is exactly what we do now. For the clearer
picture, since we were in our primary school, we have been taught about science
(I pick science since it contains a lot of magnificent discovery). We learn
about the cells in our bodies, we learn about flowers, learn the structure of earth
and so on. But we rarely being told by our teacher that all of them won’t exist
by themselves, but there is a Creator of all those things. Allah.
I really hope that teachers nowadays will take this
opportunity to remind their students about our Creator in every subject that we
learn. To remind that all of that mind-blowing formulas, research, inventions
and so on actually come from Him. If He do not giving us the wisdom and the
strength to discover, we would know nothing. We would discover nothing. Yes, we
would claim that we always know all of the creations being created by the
Creator, but it is actually different when we learn by mentioning it. Let say
nowadays, if you ask the student, how the planet was formed, they would answer
“There were a cloud of gases and dust, and then a pressure happened and all bla
bla”. Bet no one will answer “BY THE POWER OF ALLAH, HE CREATED the dust and
gases, then, it became a cloud and bla bla” So; this is actually the best
platform for teachers to help in shaping students to be an educated person who
is not only knowledgeable but also faithful.
I was overwhelmed with sadness to accept the reality that
for almost 11 years being a student, I witnessed the education that make us
amazed with the creations and not the power of the Creator. If not, all
of our educated people will be among those who close to the religion and
faithful. Rely upon God alone because the knowledge that we have, shown the
strong evidence which He is the Most Powerful.
But, as people become more educated, they become too fanatic with the
knowledge, position and dreams to chase and starting to forget their real
purpose of life. It is time to change.💪
