Knowledge is to Be Acted Upon

"We've really 'sold ourselves short' in our knowledge because what we have learnt is not being actualised in our behaviour. In fact, the most that we can say is that we know the legal ruling of something, but as for putting it into practice then only little do we do that. We ask Allaah to pardon us!

The main fruit and benefit of knowledge is that it is put into practice so that its effects can be seen in the faces of people, in their behaviour, their character, their worship of Allah, their seriousness, their fear (of Allah) etc.; this is the most important thing to remember.

I personally believe that if an intelligent Christian was to study Islamic jurisprudence as we do here, he would understand it just as well as we do, if not better. For example, look at that Arabic language dictionary Munjid – they say that the author was a Christian and that he researched it very well!

So speculative issues (achieved by deep study) are not the objective in (seeking) knowledge – O Allah, grant us a beneficial knowledge! – no, the main fruit of knowledge is for it to be of true benefit.

Isn't it amazing how many of the basic standard people who are ignorant of the Deen, exhibit a true humility in front of Allaah 'azza wa jall, actualising a real closeness to Allah, excellent conduct, behaviour and worship, far, far greater than that of a student of knowledge...?"


Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (rahimahu`Allah) in his Sharh al-Mumti' 'ala Zaad al-Mustaqni' 166/7

One of the Means to Attaining Success and Felicity

Ibn Qayyim (rahimahullaah):

**

One of the most effective means for attaining [success and felicity] is pondering over the Qur`aan, for along with the Sunnah, it clearly explains the paths to good and evil. If you turn your attention to them, they will suffice you. They will inform you of Allaah’s treatment of the obedient, and of the sinners. Moreover, apply what you read to practical experience, and you will see the illustration of this -

that Allaah is true, the Messenger is true, the Qur`aan is true, and that Allaah fulfills His promise.

From the Signs of the Existence of the Lord of All Creation

Allah, ta`aalaa, stated in His Noble Book:

Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, and the ships which sail through the sea with that which is of use to mankind, and the water (rain) which Allah sends down from the sky and makes the earth alive therewith after its death, and the moving (living) creatures of all kinds that He has scattered therein, and in the veering of winds and clouds which are held between the sky and the earth, are indeed Ayat (proofs, evidences, signs, etc.) for people of understanding. (Al-Baqarah2:164)

And He, `azza wajall, stated:

Indeed your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in Six Days, and then He Istawa (rose over) the Throne (really in a manner that suits His Majesty). He brings the night as a cover over the day, seeking it rapidly, and (He created) the sun, the moon, the stars subjected to His Command. Surely, His is the Creation and Commandment. Blessed be Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists)! (Al-A`raaf 7:54)

The Wise Man Does Not Argue

 Imaam Al-Hasan Al-Basree, rahimahu`Allah, said:
[Reported by Abu Nu`aim ibn Hammaad in his Zawaa’id `alaz-Zuhd libnil Mubaarak (no. 30) and Ibn Battah in Ibaanatul-Kubraa (no. 611).]

"The wise man does not argue or seek to overcome with stratagem, rather he propagates his wisdom. If it is accepted he praises Allaah and if it is rejected he praises Allaah."

Blowing on One's Food - Shaykh Saalih Al-Fawzaan

Shaykh Saalih Al-Fawzaan, hafidhahu`Allah, said:

"It is disliked to blow on the food if it isn't hot. Otherwise, it is allowed (i.e. if it were to be hot).

(Al-Ittihaf, p. 387)

"Never think that Allaah is unaware..."

Imaam Ahmad (rahimahu`Allah) used to say:

''If you are alone one day, do not say 'I am alone,' but say, 'There is an All-Watcher with me.' Never think that Allaah is unaware even for an hour or that unhidden things are not known by Him.'"

Jami Ul Uloom Wa'l Hikam by Imaam Ibn Rajab

Etiquette of Greeting When Entering the Masjid

Shaykh al-Albaanee (rahimahu`Allah) said:

"When one comes into the Masjid and is about to greet, he greets so low so that only those around him hear. He shouldn't greet with a loud voice so that he disturbs the others in the Masjid."

(Silsila al-Huda wan Noor, 177)

“Why did you not tell me?” by AbdurRahman.org

Ibn al-Jawzi (rahimahu`Allah) said: There was a king who had a lot of wealth, and he had a daughter and no other children. He loved her very much, and he used to let her enjoy all kinds of entertainment. This went on for a long time. Beside the king there lived a devoted worshiper, and whilst he was reciting one night, he raised his voice saying, “O you who believe! Ward off yourselves and your families against a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones." [At-Tahreem 66:6 – interpretation of the meaning]. The girl heard his recitation and said to her servants, “Stop!” But they did not stop. The worshipper started to repeat the verse, and the girl kept telling them to stop, but they did not stop. She put her hands to her collar and tore her garment, and they went to her father and told him the story. He went to her and said, “My dear, what happened to you tonight? What made you weep?” and he hugged her. She said, “I ask you by Allaah, O my father, to tell me, does Allaah have a Fire the fuel of which is men and stones?” He said, “Yes.” She asked him, “Why did you not tell me? By Allaah I will not eat any good food or sleep on any soft bed until I know whether my abode is in Paradise or Hell.” [Safwat As-Safwah, 4/437-438]
