During last Saturday Kuliyyah Subuh,our teacher Dr Ali Saripan reminded us to continuously upgrade ourselves from being just muslims to the next higher level.He quoted Ayat 35 Surah AlAhzab.Donot remain where we are since we become mukalaf.In a way, it is similar to our career development and income level.No one of the right mind would like to remain stagnant in their positions and be satisfied with the same income level when we first started working.But, in all honesty, do we make an effort to upgrade ourselves from being a muslim to be a mukmin ? How about being a solehin next?and next?
To upgrade ourselves in the eyes of Allah swt, we need ilmu(knowledge) and we need to do amal ibadah.All of us muslims du'a for al-Jannah for us, but many of us,including your truly, have done very little indeed!Aren't we ashamed of ourselves that what we ask does not commensurate with what we have done to deserve it?We do know that no matter what we do, we cannot claim the right to be admitted to Allah's Al-Jannah but still we have to do as much as we could and beg His Mercy to be admitted to Allah's Al-Jannah.
Our du'a : Ya Allah,kami tidak layak menduduki syurga Mu ,tetapi kami tidak tahan menanggung azab neraka Mu.Olih yang demikian,izinkanlah kami di tempatkan di syurga Mu ,Ya Allah,Ya Rahman dan Ya Rahim.

[33:35] For Muslim men and
women, for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true
men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men
and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in charity,
for men and women who fast (and deny themselves), for men and women who
guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in Allah's
