The Ideal Process

The flow of Aqli knowledge

The truncation of the flow

The Worldview amongst children on Engineering was that it is a difficult field. Engineering students feel less

connected to nature. Many IPRs not allowing nature inspired and derived products. Communication between

naturalist was difficult. This is what hampered the sources of inspiration (Dalil Aqli) being worked for towards

technological advancement

Presentation

Kamu (wahai umat Muhammad) adalah sebaik-baik umat yang dilahirkan bagi (faedah) umat manusia,

(kerana) kamu menyuruh berbuat segala perkara yang baik dan melarang daripada segala perkara yang

salah (buruk dan keji), serta kamu pula beriman kepada Allah (dengan sebenar-benar iman). Dan

kalaulah Ahli Kitab (Yahudi dan Nasrani) itu beriman (sebagaimana yang semestinya), tentulah (iman) itu

menjadi baik dengan mereka. (tetapi) di antara mereka yang beriman, dan kebanyakan mereka: orang-

orang yang fasik.

Ali cImran 3: 110

Whilst the traits and characters of Ulul Albab Al Abrar are as mentioned in

Ali cImran 3: 190-194
