Knowledge: The Basis of Islam

"Read, in the name of your Lord who created (all things)" Al-Quran 96:1

Jumuuah Mubarakah! Today let us go back to the root of Islam, knowledge.  The Almighty ALLAH's very first revelation in Quran is read ie to seek knowledge! HE asked all of us to seek knowledge first before anything else.  HE knew that this will be biggest problem faces by Muslims.  Most of us will follow blindly what was being practiced by our forefathers without even understanding the purpose of ibadah.  For example, most of us (myself first & foremost) blindly pray 5 times a day without even understanding what is being recited during our prayers.  Net effect, we pray but still committed multitude of sins due to the fact that we do not understand the very purpose of our prayer. So today, ask ourselves how much do we really know about our own religion?

ps; sorry for one week MIA, just got my new laptop :)
