D. How do you relate your selected PC to get close to Allah SWT. (2 marks)
We relate our selected PC to getting close to Allah by turning it into a vessel of light and knowledge. Instead of letting it distract our heart and our intention,
we use it to listen to the soothing recitation of the Qur’an, attend online Islamic classes and lectures, and read inspiring articles that can strengthen our faith.
Through this screen, we can connect with lots of scholars, learn about the Prophet’s beautiful life, and remind myself of Allah’s mercy and greatness as He is
the Most lovingful. With pure intention, even a simple device like our PC can categorize as an act of worship, a tool to purify my heart, strengthen our Iman,
and bring us closer to our creator.
