Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – University is Not the Only Option

Education, students can pray to Ar-Raza to

provide them with the means and resource to

complete their studies such as scholarships or conducive

learning environments and make that truly a source

of rizq for them.

People study sometimes because everybody else is doing

something, they don't necessarily think what is the

best that they're good at and what they

should do, they do it at the bidding

of somebody else or to follow someone else

or because of a hype and then it

becomes a dead-end course for them and

then it becomes useless and they don't enjoy

it and it's a four-year, five-year

study sometimes and it's all gone down the

drain and then they go into another field

if they're lucky, otherwise they don't.

And I would say that today rather than

just send everybody to university and college, there

are other means, unconventional, now they're becoming conventional

where you can do some other form of

study and work together, going to some kind

of work because university education does not necessarily

guarantee you a job anymore when everybody's got

one.

You know, before less people went to university,

so if you had a university degree then

it meant you stood out.

Everybody's got a degree now, everybody goes to

university, so what, you just become part of

everybody else.

So if you are going to go, make

sure you study something proper, otherwise you're wasting

your time.
