The recent celebration of two PhD graduates from Wajir, one in Islamic Law and the other in International Relations, highlights a divergence in parental values and priorities. While both sets of parents take pride in their children’s academic achievements, the fields of study chosen reflect markedly different approaches to investment in their future.
In its August 1st 1996 issue, Ad-Da’wah Magazine reported the story of Umm Saalih who completed the memorisation of the magnificent Quran at the age of 82 years. She memorised the first three parts of the Quran during her childhood while the remaining 27 parts took her about 70 years.
As a widow of seven children she had a lot of responsibilities in providing for her young family, yet the love for the Qur’an never left the heart and mind of Umm Saalih. It seemed her focus in her entire life was about achieving this milestone dream.
As believers we are required to constantly blow away the cobwebs of life. Time and again we need to start with a clean slate. Success and victory will be in our bag as long as we put a lot of focus in understanding the purpose of life.
This involves that we address the choices we have made in the past so that we can positively change the choices we will make in the future. We can say it is about planning meticulously to win the cup of heaven at the same time leading a goodly life here on earth.
