They are good teachers.

Kisah A:

"Riba itu haram dalam Islam, bank-bank di Malaysia banyak yang terlibat dalam riba. Kita sebagai orang Islam tidak boleh terlibat dengan riba", Tutur Pensyarah yang mengajar salah satu subjek perakaunan, yang tiba-tiba sedikit "melencong" daripada topik tentang Interest Rate yang diajar.

"aku keje kt bank tu dulu"
"eh, aku tak tahu pun tak boleh kerja kt bahagian babitkan riba",
"so, kiranya tak bolehlah kerja terlibat dengan riba"
"tak tahu pun selama nie" dan ayat seumpanya berterusan sewaktu kami semua berada di lift selepas kelas tamat. Saya yang baru sahaja menyertai pengajian di sini hanya mendiamkan diri, mendengar tanpa sepatah pun mencelah perbincangan mereka yang kelihatan sangat terkesan dengan beberapa ayat Pensyarah tentang Riba.

Kisah B:

"it's about duality of the standard. Can we accept two different quality standard of water for two different countries?" Pensyarah yang sedang membincangkan soalan tetang ethics, tiba-tiba berkata, "Mark and Spencer will donate all the profit on Saturday or Sunday to Zionisme. Same goes to Starbucks. Starbucks got the award in Jerusalem as the biggest contributor to Zionisme"

Suddenly, the girl sitting next to me asked me "what is Zionisme?" since the lecturer was talking, I wrote on my textbook, "Zionisme=Zionist<---Jew". I passed my textbook to her. Things seemed to be absolutely new to her, even the word itself.

Then, she gave me a piece of paper (the paper that she's actually wrote the lecture note) asking me to write it again on her paper. While the lecturer was still talking I wrote on that paper, "Zionisme=Zionist" Then, I drew Zionist as subset to Jew. With a note, " a group of people from Israel, US, Australia etc who want to demolish Palestine and take over Baitul Maqdis (our third holy mosque) to build their temple on that site." I passed that paper to her. Then, she took pink pen and wrote "Say NO to Starbucks and Mark n Spencer" on top of my writing and drawing of subset.

We continued listening to lecturer until the end~~

I was quite surprised to see in both incidents, how easy people to totally accepted the fact when it came from someone they respected, i.e: the lecturers, even though the fact is extremely new to them.

Lesson of the day: Most of the people don't like to have lengthy lecture on one topic. Some short, few sentences in our daily profession is very effective in spreading the teaching of our religion. Good job lecturer!

p/s: The facts above may not precisely accurate, but I believe it's not misleading.
