MOTTO

Rasulullah SAW said “Looking for knowledge is obligatori for

Muslims” (HR. Ibnu Abdil Bari)

Rasulullah SAW said “Those who tread a road in order to look

for knowledge, then Allah will ease them go to heaven “ (H.R.

Ibnu Majah & Abu Dawud)

It is better to take the hardship of education than

to taste the bitterness of ignorance.....
