Sheikh Muhammad ibn Haadi
said that from the poem it can be understood that knowledge is not to
just memorise books or a fatwah to the letter : Nor is it to just say yes, yes, yes in the majaalis! Nor is it to just say Ya'ni Ya'ni, Ya'ni in the majalis! Nor is it to just look the part with your head covering! Nor is it to just wrap your legs with your hands or to tie them with a cloth in the majaalis! Nor is it to just write books! Nor is it to just read eloquently! Nor is it to learn for the sake of teaching when one is not themselves prepared to sit and learn! Nor is it by just lowering your head to show piety! Nor is it sleeping through the whole night!
But
knowledge is fear of Allaah, knowledge is Ikhlaas and righteous deeds, knowledge is knowing Allaah is watching you at all times, Knowledge is checking yourself. Knowledge is knowing how much you don't know, knowledge is humility, knowledge is knowing you are questionable in front of Allaah for what you say and do... knowledge is giving the people of knowledge their level that Allaah gave them Knowledge is good manners Knowledge is learning correct Aqeedah and Methodology Knowledge is using your time beneficially Knowledge is getting up for Qiyaamulayl Knowledge is hoping and loving to meet Allaah Knowledge is fear of Allaah
That is knowledge that benefits. Extract from the post of Brother Abdulilah Lahmami: |
