A lot of us did not really recognise that Ramadan is also can be label as a the month of the knowledge society. Within this month, a number of historical events has happened across every society, just for the piece of knowledge to be share and mobilised. I used to share a piece of entry in this blog about, “Ramadan Builds Resilient Youths.”
A number of us were actually unaware of a number of events of Ramadan that have happened. Most of all the Kitab of Allah (Lord) came down to man during this holy month. From Kitab that was given to Prophet Moses, Prophet David and Prophet Isa all came coincidentally in the month of Ramadan and also in a sequential date, starting from the 8th or 9th Ramadan. This is an act of knowledge mobilisation from Lord to his slaves.
Frankly, I don’t have the hard facts on this to argue or justify that these dates are correct. But the act between the first mobilisation of knowledge marks a great symbol in the history of society. A simple book (Kitab) which was given to us, was documented and till today we are still referring and reading it as a life and faith reference. If any of you guys happened to read this posting and awareness what I am trying to justify (or even have the dates of event such as when the Kitab are brought down), please share it with me.
So far, as a Muslim, Laylat al-Qadr literally the “Night of Decrees” or “Night of Measures”, is the anniversary of two very important dates in Islam that occurred in the month of Ramadan. This is one events that I have been hearing and aware off since I was a youth.
Muslims believe that it was the night in which the Qur’an was revealed from God. The Qur’an is one of the holy Kitab and the last Kitab that was given to man. The Qur’an was revealed over many years to the Prophet. That is Prophet Mohammad, and no other Prophet after him.
Muslims believe that any acts of worship undertaken on this night are rewarded in multiple thousands in comparison to the same act of worship done on any other day. There are two schools of thought on date of this event. Some Muslims are of the opinion that it lands on the 27th night of Ramadan while others believe that it may be any one of the last odd nights.
What actually happen on this “Night of Measures” was a miracle and some even said, it was a glimpse of the future (the World today). Prophet flew from Mecca to Jerusalem, within 1 single night, in a transport. Today, we are also able to do that. And, He was lifted up to the sky. Today, we are also able to do that. In terms of measuring the knowledge mobilisation here, many theories can be drive.
- Can human be transported one city to another in less than a night?
- What about from earth to the sky?
- The knowledge that he attained from Lord and pass back to human?
All of these are being discuss through exploitation of knowledge. Knowledge that is documented and passed from one generation to another, puting the information still in tact. Plus a strong justification from the holy book. If we were to match in again in the theory, I don’t see why Ramadan unable to “Builds Resilient Youths.”
Truly, the youths are the hope for the future. Their success would mean success for us all, and should they not succeed, it also means we all do not succeed.
Revently a Youth Minister shares this note in one of the social site describing on a event, “… It’s not just a matter of medals. Every athlete represents a story of hope, determination, guts, effort and sacrifice in a very real way. Win or lose, I have not seen a single athlete look beaten or sorry for herself.”
If we were to related these elements (1) youth, (ii) knowledge, (iii) hope, (iv) determination (v) guts (vi) effort and (v) sacrifice, it actually build the foundation of a knowledge mobilisation. Wow, this is great. Maybe, I will trying to proof this in one of my thesis theory where these actually play a part to the perceived of useful and perceive ease of use in the concept of knowledge mobilisation, where desirability will be the results.
Well for now, I rest assure everything first in my faith. Tomorrow will a great day to start.
