The Significant of April

|

As I have mentioned earlier, I never believe in April’s fool. April is a transition of the academic phase and examination season to many students and academicians alike. In some other parts of the world, it is a preparation phase before departing for the next level of education. April is an intermission between Spring and Summer in the northern hemisphere, Autumn and Winter in the South. For PETRONAS, April is the first month of their financial year. And, for ‘Afi and Muhammad Afiq, April is just like a stage when the Starter of the 100 meters race announces: “ON YOUR MARK…”, thus, all the 100 meters sprinters will put their mental and physics to the starting line while engaging their mind-end towards the finishing line.
In short, April is about knowledge, wisdom, education, and efforts in enhancing or achieving it. This reminds about one chapter, where it first verse is the first holy verse revealed by the Almighty Allah Rabbul Jalil more that 1500 years ago to His Messenger Muhammad saw (peace be upon him) - Chapter 96 – Al-‘Alaq or the clot:
In the name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Read! In the Name of your Lord Who has created (all the exists)
He has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood)
Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous.
Who has taught (the writing) by the pen.
He has taught man that which he knew not.
Nay! Verily, man does transgress (in disbelief and evil deed)
Because he consider himself self-sufficient
