Friday Sermons: Interest in Science and Education

Robbis rokhli shodri wayashirli amri
wakhlul ukdatammillisani waf kohu kouli

Maashirol muminin rokhimakumulloh,
All praise is for Allah who created the people and taught them how to talk. I bear witness that
Mohammed is his slave and messenger.
Our Prophet (peace be upon him) said, Allah, His angels, the people of the heavens and the
earth, even the ant in its hole and the whale in the sea invoke Allahs blessings upon those who
teaches people what is good. "
May Allah bless our messenger and his follower until the Hereafter.

Maashirol muslimin rokhimakumulloh,
I advise you to fear from Allah as He said:

[Fear from Allah and Allah teaches you. And Allah is the all knower of everything.] (2:282)
Allah SWT created the human and preferred them, He gave them the effort to learn and ordered
them to read and learn. Allah said:

[Recite in the name of your Lord who created -Created man from a clinging substance.

Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous -Who taught by the pen -Taught man that
which he knew not] (96:1-5)
Allah provides His messengers with the knowledge they need to teach their people. Prophet
Ibrahim (peace been upon him) said to his father that he has received more knowledge than him
and because of that he had to follow him.
Our messenger (nabiulloh Muhammad salallohu alaihi wasallam) was the best teacher and he
used to pay attention for the kids' learning. Moreover, He (peace be upon him) used to hold
special meetings for the women to teach them, these meetings had special days and special
places.
Dear jamaah rokhimakumulloh,
In the shadow of these high manners, Muslims reached high positions in the scientific civilization.

-
For instance, the scientist Ibn Sina innovated in surgery, Bayroni in math, Jaber Ben Hayan in
chemistry, Ibn Khaldon in history, and Abas Ibn Fernas in flying trials.
Furthermore, Muslim scholars excelled in Islamic shrea'a. Many of them studied and shined in the
Hadeeth and Fiqh science. Some of these scholars are Abu Haneefa, Malik Bin Anas, Al Shafee,
Ahmad Bin Hambal, Bukhari, Muslem, Qurtubi, and Ibn Katheer.

Maashirol muminin rokhimakumulloh,
Our wise government made a considerable effort for this field of education. They established
schools and universities that provide the generations with the latest knowledge and experience.
In these days, as we are stepping on the threshold of a new academic year, we pray Allah to help
and open the doors of success for all of the student and the teachers as well. We exploit this
event to remind the parents of the importance of their support to their children and the
effectiveness of their communication with the schools and teachers.
It's important to teach our children the Islamic Etiquette in the schools. They need to behave
politely, work hard i1n seeking knowledge and please their parents with their success. These
manners are part of our history since Ibn Abbas (may Allah bless him) said to Zayd while walking
beside him: "we are ordered to behave in honor with our scholars".
