lets practice that 7C!!

lecture by Tariq Ramadhan at ISNA 2010 about Muslim students in the West.

interesting points to ponder (as I took it):

1. when you are practising good deeds (i.e Islam) there will always be people who are wanting to go against you. it has been repeated in the Quran about our beloved Prophet's opponents when he was spreading the Words of Allah.

2. never mind yourself being foreign, as our religion from the start was strange, and Allah had said it will remain strange till the end of time.

3.to broaden your mind!! read and read and READ!! the first word of the revelation IQRA' meant for Muslims to never stop seeking for knowledge. however, dont let ourself to be fooled by it. knowledge is not to be worship. use that as means to be better in worshipping the Almighty.

4.Muslims should go by these 7C!!
i. CONFIDENCE
ii. CONSISTENCIES
iii. COMMUNICATION
iv. CONTRIBUTION
v. CREATIVITY
vi. CONTESTATION
vii. COMPASSION

and quoted from Mr.Tariq:

"life has a meaning, and you have responsibility"
