Writing a chapter's conclusion

The following are some tips from my mini viva that might be relevant to those who are writing the conclusion for every chapter.


- what have you learnt form the chapter?
- did you achieve the chapter's objective?
- if you comparing all the results, explain why in your result "x" is better that "z".
- remember that the figures in the chapter must help you to achieve you chapter's objectives, NOT JUST A SERIES OF FIGURES. This is must be shown in you conclusion. If you fail to conclude properly, the whole chapter is fail to convey you idea. So "write the conclusion carefully"

"writing is about conveying the idea in words"

The danger of World Lover.

Our Prophet s.a.w has mentioned one of the epidemics that came to his ummat in the future (which is now) is Al-Wahan. Al-Wahan is defined as “Love this world and hated the death".

How dangerous this epidemic?

• The fact that this world is temporary and will be destroyed. The Akhirah is the endless world. But this epidemic changes the fact into " This world is the final. I Don't care about akhirah" which preparing to Allah's punishments.
  
• Our Dignity will be taken away by Allah swt. When there is no dignity in our life, then we are useless. No one listen and trusts us. We can see this sign now where we become weaker and weaker.
  

Don't let Al-Wahan get into our hearts.
