Knowledge

Salam everyone
hopefully this post reach you guys in your best condition of health and iman.




The Messenger of Allah (SAW)said: “When you pass by the meadows of Paradise indulge freely in them!" The Sahabah asked: "O Messenger of Allah! What are the meadows of Paradise?" He replied: "The circles of Ilm.” [Tabarani, Al-Mu’jam Al-Kabir]

Ilm that is mentioned here is 'beneficial knowledge'. This is the knowledge that brings us closer to our Creator and Sustainer. Many are the rewards for the seekers and teachers of ilm. This is because it is through beneficial knowledge, knowledge of the reality of this world and knowledge of the Hereafter, that we draw nearer to Allah SWT, which in turn brings us closer to Jannat.

It is a great blessing from Allah SWT when a person is able to see and value the things of this world as they really are. That is when he or she will be able to utilize their learning to benefit their Akhirah. As Rasulullah SAW used to, we should also ask Allah SWT to show us the reality of things as they really are.

Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists), (1) He has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood) (2) Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous, (3) Who has taught (the writing) by the pen. (4) He has taught man that which he knew not. (5)

(Al-Alaq 96:1-5 )

Thats all for now. Hopefully it benefits all of us.

Wassalam.
