18. Mu'adh bin Jabal put it so eloquently when he said,
"Through it (knowledge), blood ties are preserved and through it Halal is
Distinguished From Haram.
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) says:
“One who wishes to see those who are safe from the Fire of Hell should
look at the seekers of knowledge”.
(Biharul Anwar, vol. 1, p.58)
19. To what extent is Islam concerned with
knowledge?
The Holy Qu’ran says:
“Allah elevates to high positions those from amongst you who are
faithful and those who have acquired knowledge”.
[Al-Mujadilah, 58:11]
20. With knowledge comes fear of Allah
“It is only those who have knowledge among
His slaves that fear Allâh” [Fâtir 35:28]
21. Allah has commanded to seek more and
more knowledge
Allâh praises the scholars, as He says
(interpretation of the meaning):
“Say: ‘Are those who know equal to those who
know not?’)”
[al-Zumar 39:9]
22. Spreading knowledge
Rasool SAW ordained all his companions
and, thus, every Muslim who possesses
some knowledge -- even as little as one
verse -- to disseminate what they know to
others: He said, "Convey (what you learn
from me) even if only one verse…" (Related
by Bukhari)
“Whoever calls people to right guidance will
have a reward like that of those who follow
him, and whoever calls people to
misguidance will have a burden of sin like
that of those who follow him.” (Narrated by
Muslim, 2674)
23. From Abu Umaamah: Rasul Allah said,
"Verily Allah and His angels, even the ant in its
hole and the fish in the sea, verily (they all)
pray for he who teaches people good." -
authentic, narrated by Tabraanee
25. Upanishad
knowledge is the subject matter of the third and the
last portion of the Vedas which is called Upanishads.
Upanishad is a combination of three words: upa, ni,
and sad. Upa means near; ni means below and
determination, and sad means, to sit down. Thus the
simple meaning of Upanishad is "near below sitting".
26. The purpose of the Upanishad
The purpose of the Upanishad is ajnana nasa
.which means the destruction of ignorance.
The Upanishads contain that knowledge which
can be gained be a seeker of Truth when he is
sitting at the feet of his master.
27. Why is it said that the student must sit at the
teacher's feet?
Just as the flow of water is natural and effortless
from an upper to a lower level, sitting at the feet
of the teacher is symbolic of the student looking
up to the teacher: With this attitude the
knowledge of the teacher flows easily to him.
28. Deham va patayami karyam va
sadayami
. "Either this body will fall down dead or I
will accomplish my goal".
