KNOWLEDGE AND ITS IMPORTANCE
So, (O people,) if you do not know (yourselves), ask the people of remembrance.21/7
” I am the city of knowledge and Ali its door.”(hadith)
“Feeling conscious of being unable to know is called knowledge.” Saying of Hadrath Abu Bakr Siddiq (ra)
“Knowledge is the awareness of a thing with reference to its reality.”
“Seek for knowledge even (you have to go) to China”. (hadith)
“Getting knowledge is obligatory for every Muslim (man and woman).”(hadith)
Knowledge is either acquired or gifted by Allah (SWT). The latter refers to the knowledge bestowed upon the Messengers of Allah.
Real knowledge(any knowledge-religious, spiritual, scientific, Biology, Physics, Psychology, Chemistry, Politics, Sociology, Economics, History, Law, Nuclear Technology, Computer Sciences, Management, Commerce, Mass Communication etc) is that which brings man closer to Allah ( brings Allah’s gnosis and true servitude to Him)
The Qur’an is the word of Allah (SWT) and books on various branches of knowledge are human studies of Allah’s creation. The Holy Qur’an is a treasure of all knowledge and learning that man may need till the end of time.
The holy personality of the adorable Prophet (saws) is the embodiment of the Qur’an – the Quranic teachings put into practice as a practical model for the entire mankind.
As the knowledge contained in the Quran is unlimited the life conduct of the Holy Prophet (saws) too is infinite in the like manner because a limited thing cannot encompass an unlimited thing.
The Final Prophet of Allah (SWT) is the fountainhead of all knowledge in the universe.
Knowledge has enveloped the entire creation.
Knowledge also teaches him humbleness and modesty and manners of obedience to Allah (SWT).
SHARIAT -is Man’s act cannot possibly be maintained without the existence of haqiqat, The Law without the Truth is ostentation(show off).
MARIFAT-The ‘arif depends on his Lord,Haqiqat cannot be maintained without observance of shari’at. The Truth without the Law is hypocrisy(unreal conviction).
INTENTION- intention should be to surrender totally to divine will and to gain allah’s pleasure/raza(with affirmation from heart). Will, the act and the power, is solely from allah.Each Act or Tasbih or Du’a should begin and terminate with the recital of Durood Shareef and one who wishes for the acceptance of his Du’as should use the Wasila of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Salla Allahu ta’ala alyhi wa Sallam).
If some spiritual condition occurs in your heart or some amazing knowledge enters the heart, don’t get excited our aim is to gain allah’s raza/pleasure (ignore the fantacies) have trust in Allah and present your needs to Him only. Request Allah to grant you steadfastness on the Deen.
You see insan/body but arsh/ruh is walking because ruh is from Allah’s command/amr.
Amal/deed and haal/state of heart both are exposed to celestial world .
When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
