VALUE OF KNOWLEDGE AND SCHOLARS

The book Riyâd-un-nâsikhîn written in Persian about the value of knowledge and scholar [This book

was written in Persian by Muhammad Rabhami in 835 Hijrî. It

was distributed in 1313 Hijrî in Bombay. It was reproduced for a

second time by Hakîkat Kitâbevi of Istanbul in 1994.] states the

following beginning at page 356: The hadîth which is written in the

book Mirsad-ul-ibad minal-mabda-I ilal-ma'ad [The writer of

this book Najmaddîn Abû Bakr Râzî died in 654 Hijrî.]

states, "An individual who learns strict information with the

goal of getting appreciation of the researchers or with the

goal of contending with the uninformed and becoming popular will

not even get the smell of Heaven." It is perceived from this

hadîth that an individual who learns strict information for

acquiring riches or positions or fulfilling his brutal longings and

doesn't rehearse his insight, is definitely not an Islamic researcher ('âlim).

Another hadîth states: "An individual who learns for getting

common belongings will assemble those common belongings yet his

acquire in the Âkhirat will be the fire of Agony." This sort of

information won't help anybody. Staying away from this is essential

kind of information. Consequently the accompanying hadîth states,

"O my Rabb! If it's not too much trouble, safeguard me from the futile information."

The information which must be advanced by a Muslim is called

"Islamic Information." Islamic information is partitioned into two

segments, "Strict information" and "Logical information".

Futile information is likewise partitioned into two segments. The first

is strict information scholarly by the aforementioned individuals, who are

said to get lost. The subsequent kind is logical information which

isn't related with strict information. [The Antiquated

Romans' tormenting the Jews by tossing them to the lions, the

Christians' brutal assaults against the Muslims in Palestine

during the Medieval times, mass killing of individuals in Europe by

Hitler and in Asia by Russian and Chinese socialists, and

English assaults on individuals by misleading countries and making them

battle with each other, were undeniably achieved by utilizing this

second kind of logical knowledge.] Allâhu ta'âlâ says that these

immense individuals who are adversaries of mankind however progressed in

logical information look like jackasses. He explicitly says,

"They are like jackasses loaded down with Taurah and New Tastement."

These brutal individuals who have logical information and who are

uninformed about Islamic information are not in the correct way. Allâhu

ta'âlâ isn't satisfied with them. The book Kunûz-ud-deqâiq

incudes the hadîth, "The best among you are the ones who learn

what's more, show Qur'ân." Mishkât quotes a hadîth-I-sherîf which states,

"Each Muslim man and lady should learn Islamic information."

The information alluded by this hadîth is the information which

Allâhu ta'âlâ loves and endorses. Helping information to individuals

who won't deal with it with care resembles putting brilliant chains

around pigs' necks. [ The accompanying hadîth-I-sherîf was cited on

a schedule sheet dated June 12, 1995 distributed by Türkiye

Paper, "Genuine strict information will be intriguing towards the

season of Qiyâmat. Uninformed strict men will give fatwa

as per their own perspectives and prompt individuals to digress from

the right path about the value of knowledge and scholar ."] In another hadîth, Rasûlullah 'sall-Allâhu 'alaihiwa sal-lam' said, "A period will come when individuals will take off

from strict men in similar way as they would take off

from a dead jackass." Their state educates us that the states regarding

people will be bad and revolting. For, Allâhu ta'âlâ values

information. Yet, those nitwits who love the world didn't go to

school in their young life; nor subsequent to arriving at adulthood did they

achieve the gift of going to the sohbat of a genuine Islamic

researcher. Subsequently, very ignorant about the risky position they

are in, they don't secure the important information and they do

not read and gain from a genuine strict researcher's book. Their

just concern is storing cash and property and get a position.

It doesn't matter at all to them whether they acquire from passable (halâl) or

not admissible (harâm) ways. They don't perceive and

recognize the good and bad. They don't appreciate

the worth of information and genuine strict researchers. Genuine strict

researchers' works and preachings have no worth in seeing

these individuals. In seeing these individuals books and preachings

of genuine strict researchers are like an individual who sells

scents in the market where they sell creatures or to an individual

who offers mirrors to dazzle individuals. Or on the other hand it resembles perusing the Tâhâ

Sûrah of the Qur'ân to Abû Lahab or filling the pockets of road

vagabonds with pearls and valuable stones or giving kohl to a visually impaired

individual by a shrewd man; yet a savvy man could never do any of

these activities. Allâhu ta'âlâ depicts these kind of individuals as

follows: "They are like creatures. They are lower than, truth be told

creatures." It is expressed as continues in a hadîth-I-sherîf provided details regarding

the power of Enes canister Mâlik 'radiy-Allâhu ta'âlâ 'anh':

"Allâhu ta'âlâ will shame an individual in the general public on the off chance that he affronts a

researcher with practically no legitimate explanation. An individual who regards

researchers will be respected and held high like prophets by Allâhu

ta'âlâ." Another hadîth-I-sherîf peruses as follows: "If an individual

chatting with a researcher raises his voice higher than the researcher's

voice Allâhu ta'âlâ will shame him in this world and in the following.

In the event that he feels sorry and apologizes, he will be pardoned." It is

clear from the previous that it is important to be conscious

toward genuine researchers.

A sonnet:

You were made from a drop of water, remember!

Never hold yourself equivalent with researchers!

Pay attention to what requested Mustafâ!

Regarding researchers is regarding me!

Know well that main information and researchers will save human

creatures from straying to wrong ways. Without an aide (rahbar)

one can never track down the genuine way. Thus it is vital

to track down obvious Ahl as-sunnat researchers and afterward read right

strict books writtten by them. It is written in the "Kahf" Sûra

of the Qur'ân that despite the fact that the incredible prophet Moses (Mûsâ)

'alaihis-salâm' was in the most extensive level of information, to such an extent

so he communed with Allâhu ta'âlâ and drank from the

sherbet of adoration for Allâhu ta'âlâ, he actually joined Yusha 'alaihissalâm' who was an understudy of Hizir 'alaihis-salâm' to

gain information from him. Likewise, Moses (Mûsâ) 'alaihis-salâm'

notwithstanding being an expert of rationale, actually went to gain from Hizir

'alaihis-salâm'. This is accounted for finally in the book of exposition

(Tafsîr) composed by Bukhârî 'rahimahullâhu ta'âlâ'. O my

sibling! Did you find something more valuable than information

what's more, researchers so you are going through your time on earth away with it.

Don't you realize that our religion orders us to offer appreciation to

information and researchers and participate in the positions of the people who are in

the method of Allâhu ta'âlâ. Hence, don't consume your time on earth

away with superfluous things. A hadîth-I-sherîf peruses as follows:

"There is one level of contrast between a prophet and a

researcher who possessess right information and acts as per

that information. This one degree is the level of prophethood."

One ought to endeavor to learn information to accomplish this

fortune.
