general study skills

you should learn all you can about the skills and techniques of which makes for efficient study. an efficient study will enable you to work better, learn more with less effort and time. the quality of your work counts just as much as the quantity. it is pointless to put in hours of study if they are not effective. obstacles to studies are the many distractions of student's life-sports, clubs, societies, different surroundings, friendship, love affairs and so on. remember that your primary goal of a university education must be graduation qualification. the other things mentioned above are no doubt important but they should be secondary to your primary goal of study.and to improve your concentration and work in a sustained manner, you must be interested in the course you're taking, have the ability to do it, and have a definite long term career goal and eventual work in life..

Akal

sains Barat memperakui satu komponen akal sahaja yang bertanggung jawab kepada penalaran, sedangkan sains Islam membahagikan akal kepada dua, aqal juz'iyy (yg diterima umum) dan aqal kulliyy yg mencirikan kalbu dan bertanggung jawab menerima hikmah dan intuisi Islam itu.Jelaslah betapa besarnya sumber-sumber ilmu sains secara Islam dengan sumber-sumber ilmu sains Barat. Inilah hal-hal yang merupakan landasan yang membezakan falsaah sains Islam dengan sains Barat.
- Syed Muhamad Naquib al-Attas (1987)
