Knowledge

Bismi-llahi ar-Rahmani ar-Rahimi, In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. And I beg for forgiveness from Allah for whatever sin that I have done in the past and to show me the right path. Ameen.

Assalamualaikum / Greetings dear readers.

A man came to Abu Darda while he was in Damascus. Abu Darda asked him, "What has brought you here, my brother?" He replied, "A hadith which you relate from the Prophet SAW."

Abu Darda asked, "Have you come for some worldly need?" He replied,"No."

"Have you come for business?" He replied,"No."

"Have you come only to seek this hadith?" He said,"Yes."

Abu Darda then said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah SAW say:

"Whoever travels a path seeking sacred knowledge, Allah will place him on a path leading to Paradise. The angels lower their wings for the student of sacred knowledge, pleased with what he is doing. The creatures in the heavens and earth seek forgiveness for the student of sacred knowledge, even the fish in the water. The superiority of the religious scholar over the devout worshipper is like the superiority of the full moon over the other heavenly bodies. The religious scholars are the heirs of the prophets. The prophets leave no money as a bequest, rather they leave knowledge. Whoever seizes it has taken a bountiful share." "

(Imam Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah relate this hadith in their compilations)

From here, may Allah open up our hearts like those awliya and knowledgeable scholars who have no fear abt the world issues. Insya'Allah, may we see how important knowledge is now.

If there's any error, I'm open for rectification. None is perfect as perfection only belongs to Allah (God Almighty). All good things come from Allah and all the bad things are from my side and the side of Shaiytan the accursed.
