Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Idris Al-Syafi'i, who does not know that name, the world often recognize him as Imam Syafi'i a Muslim thelogi, the high priest Mahzab Shafi'i ie the great Sunni Mufti which is still included in the family of close relatives of Rasulullah Muhammad, PBUH
Every character and teacher must have a teacher too, Syafi'i own priest since the age of 13 years have devoted themselves to study religion to the great scholars in Madinah to Iraq, in order to find the true meaning of Islam, Syafi'i priest classified as the bloody Palestinian adam .
Surely he lived a life full of twists and turns, until he became a man of dignity and exaltation, his words that continue to motivate life also become a meaningful expression in for today's life.
"Whoso he wants life for the world must be accompanied by knowledge, as well as those who want the Hereafter, so also with science," [Imam Shafi'i]
The above phrase means the importance of science in diving life as a drama that leads to death, so that the path and the process of human life is always determined by the level of self-knowledge. So also with the Hereafter, Science and Knowledge of both (if good) is able to bring us to the throne of peace between two lives, if also vice versa too.
Living without knowledge, then man as if walking on a desert that does not know the way out to find the green dot, he will continue to get lost in endless pleasure and restlessness.
With Science then a person is on Tawadhuk Group, which sees humility in humans so that it leads him to continue to be grateful and respectful to fellow beings alive.
Imam Shafi'i teaches that quotations after word are arranged so that man is able to put everything above science, so that blessing in action continues to be a reference for human beings to do good to others as a form of worship, not a light to show off and find names above suffering.
"Those who study / study Faraid science and reach its peak, it will become and appear as a figure of numeracy with the science of hadith it seems a value of blessing over life, Fiqh Science is the basis among all knowledge (Roots),"
For that let's keep trying to become a human figure who has knowledge and knowledge to the wisdom to live, May be useful.
