risalah vs ijazah. which one is the most important?

salam,

this was the reason why i chose not to attend the second session of the workshop. both were equally important and wonderful but being human, you could only choose either one no matter how much you want to attend both. no matter how greedy you were, you still had to choose bec you are only human. kalau awak cacing, bolehla divide your body into two. i chose to attend the first session of the workshop and the next day, i chose to attend the daurah. i was trying to be fair to myself though deep in my heart, i wanted to attend both. both are priceless. the workshop was fully sponsored. i might have to pay RM 20 if i was not sponsored (if i'm not mistaken). meaning to say, i sedekah the 10 ringgit without having a chance to munch the priceless info.

come back to earth!!!
i enjoyed the daurah so much as it was conducted with stress free and in a not-so-formal condition. only sisters were invited. that made me feel even more comfortable.  they invited a sister from a medical college in Penang to share with us her opinions and ideas about the highlighted topic.

we, first, listened to the sharing. Then, we were divided into small groups of four to five and had a face-to-face sharing moment. i loved the face-to-face sharing part where you were free to share your ideas without any limitations. There's no right or wrong answers. Some might say, ijazah should be put much much more emphasized as compared to risalah and some might say both were equally important and some might also say, risalah was everything.hurm. like i said, there no right or wrong answers. what differed the opinions were the explanations.

From my personal opinion, both are important  but the degree of importance is different. Before i start, risalah here refers to dakwah & tarbiyah whereas ijazah refers to our degree or anything related to educational qualifications. the reason is everything starts from risalah but we should also put an emphasize on  ijazah. Both should tag along. The first rank goes to risalah but that does not mean ijazah will go down to number two. Both lies on the same level. Muslims are zero without risalah. We are zero without Islam. We are nothing without islam. Islam guides our way. Islam is not just a religion. Islam is wisdom. Islam is a political system too. Islam is everything and everything we do must align to Islamic laws and principles.

this is another reason that underlines my decision ;

The Prophet SAW used to tell his Companions to do : "Convey (knowledge) from me even if it is just one aayah" (Bukhari)
