SAPERE AUDE!

We have our own rights and our own methods. So, let go through with our own ways. And, until when, we have to sacrifice for the matter that does not being as our rights? 

Sometimes the meaning of individualism, if we can look from the positive worldview of it, it will propel us to have self-sufficient in our behaviour. I does not mean to you to have individualist enthusiasm. But, we also have our rights to be implemented. 

And it is your enlightenment. Immanuel Kant said, "Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance."

Sapere aude!

DEAL WITH UNFAIRNESS

Sometimes we must deal with the unfairness to describe the meaning of fair. Is not the experience is one of the best teacher for our life? From experience, we will know the meaning of fair. And from that we will know how to find the truth. If we only want to use our logic, it does not enough for it. Perhaps our logic say it is an unfairness, but the reality is it fair. So, we must encounter the unfairness firstly; feel it, know it; and understand it.

The vital matter is we must learn from the unfairness and does not let it control our life. For it, we must have our stance and firmly defend it. If not, we will be a slave of unfairness. 

"Abu Huraira reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: "The believer does not allow to be stung twice from one (and the same) hole. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira through another chain of transmitters." (Shahih Muslim)

IN ANY MATTER, BACK TO BASICS

In any matter, the basic framework should be digested carefully before moving on the next expansion to avoid confusion and error in understanding the subject. However, the misunderstanding that occured in the subsequent description will be happened cause by its contents that challenged our thinking  and should refer to those who are knowledgeable about it to find the solution. 

As analogy, the essence of a book will not be understood and confusion of meaning will be happened if that book starts to be read in the middle. The contents that was held in good-bad would be a perceptual disorders. Another analogy: A person will not be able or difficult to understand if the early learning of mathematics have been exposed to the principles of algebra or integral formulas whereas arithmetic matters does not provided identification.

MODERN WESTERN THINKERS VS MUSLIM THINKERS

Science is one step to get to know God. The worldview of modern Science western that worship positivisme only trapped themselves when their final arguments on an event is, "It's only a natural phenomena." How could any scientific argument end with a shallow argument like that?

Muhammad Mumtaz Ali said in the book of The Philosophy Of Science: Western  And Islamic Perspective On Certain Aspects, "The claim of positivists that science basically deals with the material world alone and it has nothing to do with metaphysical issues has been rejected by Islamic revivalists. It is not true, the argue, because denial of one metaphysical position itself is the pronouncement of another metaphysical position. Hence, we cannot imagine any piece of knowledge without a metaphysical background."

PROPER THINKING CREATES PROPER ACTIONS

‎"It has been argued by modern Western thinkers and philosophers that man is a thinking being whose actions have a cognitive dimension. Proper thinking creates proper actions. Hence, there exists an organic relationship between thinking and action. We cannot imagine man without thinking or action. These two aspects of man's life are inseparable from each other. Basically, all human actions depend on human thought. Human thought finds concrete expression in human activities. The quality of thought and the quality of action in turn affect the quality of life." -

-The Philosophy Of Science: Western Islamic Perspective On Certain Aspects, Muhammad Mumtaz Ali-

SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO THINK NEGATIVELY

Sometimes we have to think negatively for positive solutions.

Simple example: You have shown a couple have dating at a quietly place. If you don't think negative about what they do, whether you will go to them and give advice that their action are less polite?

WHAT IS THE PROPER FUNCTION OF EDUCATION SYSTEM?

Exam-oriented education is the cause of some teacher block the freedom of thinking of their students because they assume the arrival of their students to school are only simply to excel in exam. Really?
