Assalaam-o-Alaikum, Dear Students:
Here I am posting this blog from my hotel room in Virginia. The temperature is 32°F. So far I haven't said Hi, to president Bush. May be tomorrow.
I want you to respond to this blog very thoughtfully. This piece will eventually become a part of your portfolio essay or the portfolio itself. Don't be shy to write several paragraphs.
We have covered ahadeeth on moral literacy, such as righteousness versus sinning, justice versus injustice, leaving unimportant matters versus interfering into others' matters, good versus bad, freeing a slave versus enslaving a person, and fulfilling promises versus breaking them. In addition, we also studied the effects of being unjust to the environment and (which is actually to ourselves and to the future generation) and our responsibility as Allah's vicegerent. Keeping the above in mind, define moral *literacy* according to Islam and what could be the greatest injustice one may bring upon himself (of-course after associating partners with Allah). Please use several aayaat (from Surat Yasin) and ahadeeth to prove your point.( Due on Friday, November 16, 2007) Have fun blogging!
*literacy- knowledge of or competence in a subject or area of activity
