The Purpose Of Gaining Knowledge

[FADIA BINT ISMAIL]

If We Gain All The Knowledge In Islam,

And Then Everybody Isolates Himself To His Room Or House

And We Perform Only The Rituals Of Islam

How Can We Exercise, Develop, Implement, Live,

And Obey The Message Of Allah [swt] And The Teachings Of Prophet [saw]?

 

How Can We Function With Society

And Obey The Commands Of Allah [swt]

If We Alienate Ourselves From The Rest Of Society?

 

What If We Only Engage With Society Depending On Our Mood?

 

When people behave in such a way, they are empty and are in a state of worshipping themselves; they are devoid of the light of Allah, even if they fulfill all the rituals. Rasul Allah (saw) has told us that Allah [swt] sent him to teach manners and good conduct.

 

If We Reflect

Over The Verses Of The Quran

We Will Find Three Major Elements In Them…

Warning For What Will Happen If We Are Happy With The Status Quo.

The Sunnah (Way) Of Allah Is To...

Trial Us To Check Our Sincerity And Honesty.

And The Qualities Of The Believers Which Are Beloved To Allah...

"The One Who Struggles!"

"Is In A Rush To Please Allah!"

"And Is Always Trying To Be Good!"

 

Therefore, if you want to open the door of Rahma (mercy) and the pleasure of Allah [swt], you have to be constantly initiating, sensing, running and hurrying to accumulate any good deeds to please Allah.

 

If you do not do so, the door of calamity will open and Allah [swt] will snatch the Taufeeq (ability) and quality from you, because you denied Him and did not take advantage of the given opportunity.

 

When Allah [swt] abandons a person, He [swt] opens for him the door of duniya [world] and gives him the material life; this brings blindness, and the habit of complaining and blaming others.

 

This shows lack of gratefulness, contentment and thanks; meaning, this life becomes a journey of disgrace in this life and the hereafter.

 

If A Person Surrenders To His Weakness, His Genetic Problems

To The Whisper Of Shaytaan Or To The Status Quo

Do You Know What It Means?

Absence Of Imaan (Faith)!

 

On the other hand, if a person believes in Allah [swt], His power, might and ability; then his sins, weakness, abilities, disabilities, genetics, environment, whatever it is, cannot stop him from intending to do good because Allah [swt] is with him.

 

Again all these topics go back to journey of Imaan, thinking about and hoping to attain the highest place in Jannah [Paradise], pleasing Allah [swt], about fulfilling ones duty on this earth and about being an achiever.
