Dr. Pasha's Arabic Language and Cultural Immersion Sessions -- Lesson 41
Assignment
Operation Hasbu,
As in Hasbi, Hasbuna and Hasbuhu!
- Read every word I write -- as carefully as you can.
- When I am speaking, pay close attention.
-
My Model of Communication -- call it Islamic Communication if you wish -- comes in two parts:
3a) Count Every Word!
That is my Model of Communication: Islamic Communication Part One.
And that means you must be fully aware of "Every Word" you utter, speak, write or otherwise "communicate" or indicate. And that means at all times know full well what you are doing.
Regardless of the mode or channel of "Communication" you choose to utilize. Whether it is ordinary language, or a different medium such as any involving sight, sound, movement, and such. Like, for example, Film, Music, Videography, Mathematics in all forms, computer languages, and so on.
And when we say "word," understand that it is only a manner of speaking. It is imprecise language for maybe "Every Letter."
For, you shall be asked to account for it: Why and How You Expended the Capital of Communication Power and Potential given to you by your Rabb, Rabbul Aalameen, through the Mandate of Khalaqal Insaan. Allamahul Bayaan.
So, make sure you are fully on top of everything you are saying: every word of it. Both in terms of What exactly you are saying and Why you are saying what you are saying. That is, what exactly are the Reasons and Motivations with which you are saying what you are saying.
So, that is Part One of my model of Islamic Communication: Watch What You Are Saying?
3b) Make Every Word Count!
That is Islamic Communication Part Two. The words you speak or write, or otherwise communicate, must carry a Positive Purpose. Your words must count toward making the Khalq -- Creation -- of Allah better. This world, in all its facets and dimensions, should become a better place for your having used those words.
- Revisit all entries in Mu'jam under the letters Ha, Seen, Ba. Read them aloud several times.
-
Find following Aayaat in Mu'jam. Then locate them in the Mushaf. Then do Tilaawat of them -- read them aloud -- as many times as you can. Then find as many translations of them as you can.
5.a. Hasbiyallahu Laa Ilaha...
5.b. Hasbunallahu wa Ni'amal Wakeel...
5.c. Wa Man Yatawakkal Alallahi Fa-Huwa Hasbuhu.
- Go to Waw, Kaaf, Laam entries in Mu'jam.
- Find the entry Wa Tawakkal.
-
Find the Aayat:
Wa Tawakkal Alallahi. Wa Kafaa Billahi Wakeelaa.
-
Go to Mushaf. Locate Aayat:
Wa Tawakkal Alallahi. Wa Kafaa Billahi Wakeelaa.
- Recite -- do Tilaawat -- as many times as you can.
- Find translation.
- Be ready for Allah's Anwaar, Altaaf, Tajalliyyaat pour down.
- Watch Allah's miracles unfold right before you eyes.
- Voila, that is Operation Hasbu for you.
END
