When this kind of statement is made, firstly we have to understand that in every judgment made by man it is subjective. Only the judgment of Allah is objective. We all know that. So we have to see what is the benchmark. Apakah kayu ukur nya?
What I will talk about is the norm and majority. There are always isolated cases, which is the minority, which is irrelevant to bring up.
First, let’s look at the madrasah students perspective. Upon completion of their schooling, generally they would go into the Deen industry, be it at Muis, madrasah, masjid, tuition centers etc, although there is an increasing number going into the commercial sector. When madrasah students return from tertiary institutes like Syria, Egypt, Saudi, Malaysia, they have in them the burning inspiration and passion of serving the Muslim society. Despite knowing huge challenges that face them, they still pursue Islamic education. For the non-madrasah students, from young, they are taught to study hard, get good grades, go to university and obtain the 5Cs in life. Career, Cash, Car, Condo and Credit card. I should know that because I did not come from madrasah and that was what I was taught in school. With that in mind, people only think for themselves and want the best for themselves. Who cares for the society? “As long as I live comfortably and have the luxuries in life, go for regular holidays, I don’t care about anything else”. These people are contributing to the economy and they bring huge profits to whichever company they work for but THAT IS NOT CONTRIBUTING IN MY BOOK. Your Cs don’t mean a thing to me. The Ba, Ma and PhD are just pieces of paper that allow you to satisfy and obtain your desires. Second, who are the ones teaching about Islam to the Muslim children whose parents do not come from madrasah and have little knowledge of Islam? Obviously the qualified asatizah who generally come from madrasah. Do we see how great the contribution these asatizah and the guru-guru Al-Qur’an are making? They are the ones implanting the seeds of Islam in these young Muslims. Walaupun ustadz/ustadzah itu lulus menengah empat, dia akan tetap diperlukan untuk mendidik anak-anak Islam. Tidakkah kita lihat betapa besarnya sumbangan yang diberikan oleh asatizah sebegini? Third adalah ketika terdapat kematian dalam sesuatu keluarga. Sipakah yang di harapkan untuk menguruskan janazah ini? Siapakah yang diharapkan dalam menyembahyang kan janazah ini? Rata-rata kita katakan, apabila sebuah janazah dibawa ke masjid untuk di sembahyang kan, teramat jarang sekali, keluarga terdekat si mati hendak menyembahyangkan janazah itu. Siapakah diminta menyembahyangkan? Tok imam atau tok lebai yang belajar pondok jugak dicari.
Ana bukan hendak mengatakan sipakah yang lebih banyak pencapaian and sumbangan di antara pelajar madrasah dan pelajar bukan dari madrasah tetapi KEDUA-DUA NYA SAMA-SAMA MENYUMBANG DAN ADA PENCAPAIAN SENDIRI. Kita perlulah berlapang dada dan lihat dari berbagai sudut. Tetapi ketahuilah wahai teman-teman ku sekalian yang ana amat sayangi dan hormati. Lebih-lebih lagi kepada mereka yang dari madrasah. Antum semua stand shoulder to shoulder if not higher with anybody, walaupun dia dari Oxford, Cambridge mahupun Harvard. Kenapa? Kerana antum semua adalah asbab yang Allah azza wa jalla jadikan untuk membawa manusia dari kegelapan ke cahaya. Secara jujur ana katakan, pelajar madrasah perlu sedarkan potensi mereka. Sudah kian ramai sekarang yang dari madrasah melanjutkan ke NUS, NTU, SMU dan sebagainya. Tidakkah itu cukup bukti yang pelajar madrasah itu sehebat dan setanding pelajar bukan madrasah. Hanya dirinya sendiri perlu sedar akan hakikat itu.
Alhamdulillah ana cuba nk share ikit utk topic kali ni. Walaupun sebnrnya tak byk waktu tp insyallah ikit pun dpt dimanfaatkan oleh semua biiznillah.
Hmm.. Dari pandangan ana secara peribadi, alhamdulillah ada byk kepentingan nya bagi sesiapa yang dah mula fikirkan ttg kelemahan kita. Sekurang nya kita semua dpt memperbaiki dan saling melengkapi antara satu dgn lain.
Setuju atau tidak, ana serahkan pd ahli dmasyq utk fikirkan. Benar ke kita tak sama level dgn mereka yang bukan dari madrasah dari segi sumbangan pd msyarakat?
Hmm..bagi ana, kita semua perlu mengubah mind set kita yang "takut" "segan" "tak konfident" atau "tak biasa" kpd.. " Iye insyallah boleh punya! " "alah takpelah tak yakin boleh ajar diri utk yakin pe "
Hmm,mmg lah ckp mmg mudah dari praktikal nya. Tp kita perlu cuba krn ia bukan benda yang mustahil!
Dah ke kita cuba "cabar" diri kita utk keluar dari kawasan tempat kita?? Maka itu, kita perlu mngajr diri kita utk cuba keluar walaupun kita tahu kita tk biasa!
kebiasaan itu boleh diubah ke arah kebiasaan yang luas biasa!Tp mcmne? nah... antum semua yg pilih sama ada utk duduk lgk di situ atau keluar melngkah melakukan perubahan dr diri,masyarakat dan dunia antum.
Ok, ana kasi contoh mudah je. Skrg ni, ramai senior2 syria yang tiada di syaria utk menolong antum menguruskan kerja2 yang biasa nya dilakukan oleh mereka. Contoh mudah : sambut tetamu yang tak perna antum kenal seblm ni.
Nah, masa ni lah kita semua gunakan kesempatan mencabar diri utk didik diri dan jiwa agar berani berbual melayan tetamu walaupun sebelum ni antum orang nya pendiam bisu seribu bahasa!
Percaya lah, kita semua baik yg dari madrasah atau bukan dr madrasah mampu mncipta keajaipan dlm memberi sumbangan pd manusia insyallah.. Bukan ke kita hidup ini saling lengkap melengkapi dlm menjalani kehidupan sebagai pejuang di dunia Tuhan utk menuju ke akhirat sana?
Alhamdulillah, ini saje dari ana yang serba kekurangan lagik dhaif.

Assalamualaikum Wr Wb,
My dear beloved DMASYQ-ian brothers and sisters, I would like to remind myself & also to my beloved brothes & sisters beforehand to stay firm and further strengthen our Iman & Taqwa to Allah swt, to perform all our duties with conviction, to refrain from all prohibitions and strive to do good at all times.
I would like to give my opinion and views regarding the statement for Bicara Dmasyq topic no 7.
First of all, I would strongly disagree with the view which states that Madrasah students are not on par with non-madrasah students in terms of contributions and achievements. In my opinion, this statment is very subjective and neither one of them can beat or overpower each other in terms of achievement and contributions.
Both Madrasah and non-Madrasah students are contributive in their own fields of expertise and focus. And I strongly believe that both of them are not competing but rather supporting each other strongly. As human beings and also delinquents, we can never be complete, and we can never be the masters of everything. We can only dream to be the in the shoes of our beloved Prophet (pbuh) and also be in the stauture of the sohabis or great Muslim thinkers of the past.
We can only dream to be like Ibn Sina who was once a great scholar of astronomy, mathematics, chemistry, physics, philosophy, science, poetry and at the same time a great scholar of the Shariah Islamiah.
We can also only dream to follow in the footsteps of Al-Kindi who was also once a massive scholar in mathematics, pharmacology, medicine, music theory, physics, astronomy and also at the same time a great scholar of the Islamic philosphy.
My dear brothers & sisters, dreams aside, we have to get back to reality and face the real issue. Until when do we only sit down and blame each other in each other's shortcoming ?
Until when do we want to just sit back and wait for others to contribute, and at the end of the day question the effort given by our friends from the other sector ?
We should rise, and start contributing and help others to contribute. We should learn to stay united in any form of diversity and support each others contributions and achievements.
"Surely, they, who from fear of their Lord are cautious, And those who believe in the revelations of their Lord, And those who ascribe not partners unto their Lord, And those who dispense their charity with their hearts full of fear, because they will return to their Lord;- They race for the good things, and they are the earliest to do the good things.." (Al-Mukminun : 57-61)
InsyaAllah, when we contribute and offer our help, we will be closer towards the mission of becoming the best ummah that always strive towards goodness, Amiin.
From my own view, if we start counting and comparing whatever good that we have done, be it to ourself or to the whole world, it will all falls into nothing.
the way I see it,it's better that we dont sit around here to talk about things we have done and judge them.. instead we should think of what we have not done.. and how to get it done. Every being compliments each other in so many ways (madrasah students or not, muslims or not).. we just have to find out and make good use of it.
perhaps from the benefit of this topic, one might start to think about their contributions and could as well fire up their enthusiasm to start contributing.
and at the end of the day, it is not our achivements or contributions that are being judged upon.. but it's the level of Taqwa that we have earned from whatever big or small that we have done will save us.
just a humble thought from A Servant of Allah, Nurul Zahidah.
