It's exam week, today till the 14th, insyaallah
...
What exams?
...
Alhamdulillah, early this year, I saw a post in FB. I never saw it before.. but I remember googling for online part time degree for Islamic Studies.
I was overwhelmed with the Usrah QMap3T online, despite of it opened up my eyes and my heart, giving me nudges on lots of things that I thought I knew but I never knew... It was superbly highly regards and Subhanallah as I'm posting this, I do miss the session!
On the other hand..
I realized that I know soo little about Islam, the religion that I bear witness as my true religion. To me, bearing witness is sufficient that admitting Allah is the One and Only Robb and only Him that I worshipped, and the Prophet SAW is His messenger.
Yet, as I've been given the rizq, Alhamdulillah, to learn more about the Quranic verse from the QMap3T sessions, I realized that there's a lot more I need to know. The basic of the shahadah.
I realized that, I may know the meaning for some words, some the grammar of the Quran, and how to tadabbur those verses... but I realized that my Quran reading is still not at par as I should have gained! I need to do more.. I need to be better for my own good... and I need to know Islam. It is not fair for myself to bear witness that Islam is my true religion when I myself don't know everything about Islam.
May Allah permits me to have the knowledge of everything a muslim should have, amiiin.

I was looking for teacher to teach me Quran, and I was googling for the basic Islamic Studies online as well...
That was when I stumbled upon the Knowledge International Online University. They were offering scholarships for 50 students globally to proceed with BA in Islamic Studies, a full-time 100% online degree of 4 years.
The requirement is to sit for the assessment and excelled.
...
I tried my luck.
When they announced the result, I checked my email and didn't received anything, so I knew I wasn't the top 50 students.
It was a week before they started their official semester 1 class that I was approached by Bro Noor asking if I would like to take up the scholarship offer or not.
Subhanallah, less that I knew I was shortlisted and I overlooked in the email that came in two days after the result was announced.
Alhamdulillah..
...
Now that I was offered a place, I was sceptical.
The scholarship cost USD945 per semester, but I need to make USD25 as a registration fees.
I don't mind with the payment, but looking at the KIU profile, being backed by the Imam of Mekah, having great scholars like Dr Bilal, Sy Sajjid and many more in their team, I was sceptical.
It is an online university platform based in Riyadh.
I'm not sure if this is real, I should take up the offer or let it be.
I even did istikharah to ensure that Allah made it easy for me to decide should I proceed or not.
...
Alhamdulillah...
When we joined the WhatsApp group, I saw one number from Malaysia and I reconnect with her directly. Alhamdulillah... A girl from Damansara (and I'm so blessed that we crossed path!)
I'll talked about the others in my next posting, Insyaallah.
...
As for now,
I'll skipped everything as I need to start my revision on Tajweed.
Completed the Aqidah paper earlier, Alhamdulillah...
Break jap!
