Why should we learn MATHEMATICS ?

As we know, it’s a must for every student to learn mathematics. Some students think that mathematics is so easy and fun. But, some of them think that math is really difficult and useless.. And I had been one of them. Before I thought, why should I learn math? It’s only about confusing number and formulas. Moreover when I had to study trigonometry and logarithmic that are difficult for me.

So, I searched about the purpose of studying this lesson. Then, finally today I got the answer! Alhamdulillah.. it made me become more convenient and enthusiastic to study math. It was when I was joining ‘Kuliah Dhuha’ about Science at Masjid Jami’ Malang this morning. The Ustadz said that when we study anything, it should make our faith of Allah SWT increase and also aware about the greatness of Allah.


"Ilmu yang bermanfaat adalah ilmu yang masuk (dan menetap) ke dalam relung hati (manusia), yang kemudian melahirkan rasa tenang, takut, tunduk, merendahkan dan mengakui kelemahan diri di hadapan Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. " - Ibnu Rajab al-Hambali

So, I asked about what the relation between math, knowledge and faith is. Here is the answer :

11.   Mathematics is the foundation of almost all science

Why? It is because to be able to learn every lesson we need math. When we study physics or chemistry, absolutely we need math to calculate the formula, etc. When we study biology, we need math to solve the probability of heredity problems. Even Islamic lesson needs math ability, to calculate the amount of zakat, etc.

22. Mathematics contains many lessons about the greatness of Allah SWT

For example, you know prime numbers(bilangan prima) right? Prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that is only can be divided by 1 and itself. Like 2,3,5,7, and so on. Friends, actually, it also give us an important lesson. That’s even somebody is only by her/himself (alone), actually there is 1 God who always beside him. That’s why every bank wants to give its ‘pelayanan prima’, because when the servicers aware that they’re not alone, they will give their best service to the public.

There are still many reasons of why we should learn math is. So friends, let’s study MATH!! :D

Thank you^^
