OF KNOWLEDGE

8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
3/48
Let improve our piety (taqwa)
and good deeds by obeyingAllahs entire commands and
omitting all the forbidden.
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
4/48
Knowledge is one of the most
important tools in order tomobilize the advancement of a
country, including our country.Without knowledge, it is
impossible to develop a country.In addition, it risks any plan for
development.
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
5/48
Such is the importance of
knowledge. Without it, wewill be in darkness. The
world today emphasize
strongly on knowledge. Ifwe are not equipped with
the correct knowledge,
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
6/48
we will be living in
backwardness and
looked down by others.Allah subhaanahu wa
ta`ala says in Al-
Quran:
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
7/48
Allah will raise those
who have believed amongyou and those who were
given knowledge, by
degrees. And Allah is
Acquainted with what you
do. (Al-Mujadilah: 11)
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
8/48
This verse explains clearly that
Allah subhaanahu wa ta`alahonors those who believe [in
Islam] and those withknowledge. Ibn `Abbas
radhiAllahu `anhu said that thedifference between the
knowledgeable
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
9/48
and ignorant believers is as
much as 700 levels, in whichthe distance for each level is
like the distance between theheavens and earth. Such is
the nobility of those with
knowledge!
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
10/48
Studying, understanding and
mastering knowledge are crucial.Mastering is not by means of
academic only, rather it shouldbe through internalizing and
applying the knowledge in orderto attain the pleasure of Allah
subhaanahu wata`ala.
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
11/48
Without proper internalization
and understanding, knowledgewill not bear beneficial fruits
in molding the traits of aMuslim. A persons heart needs
beneficial knowledge toincrease his closeness to Allah,
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
12/48
just like the bodys need
for food and drink to
continue to live andworship Allah. Allah
subhaanahu wa ta`ala
says:
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
13/48
Only those fear Allah,
from among His
servants, who haveknowledge. Indeed, Allah
is Exalted in Might andForgiving. (Fatir : 28)
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
14/48
Interestingly, we see today that
those who disobey Allah andgoing against His commands
are done equally by those whoare ignorant as well as those
highly educated. Issues such asbribery, corruption,
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
15/48
misuse of power and so on
are rampant among theeducated people. Where is
the mistake? Is it theteachers? Or is it because
we are sincerity was never
present in our hearts?
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
16/48
Therefore, the internalization
and application of knowledgeare crucial to produce the
truly believing slaves ofAllah subhaanahu wa ta`ala
and those who have taqwa(consciousness) of Allah.
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
17/48
True, we have copious
scholars produced by varioushigher education institutions,
but it does not at all meanthat we have everything.
Knowledge should be sought,
studied and spread to others
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
18/48
so that others are able to reap
the benefits too. Knowledge isnot owned by anyone; it is a
trust from Allah that should beshared. Various methods can be
used to spread knowledgeincluding lectures, classes,
magazines, newspapers,
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
19/48
electronic media and so on.
Increasing number of mosqueshave also begin to organize
knowledge-based activitieswith the purpose to establish
knowledge and provideopportunities for the public to
acquire religious knowledge.
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
20/48
Allah subhaanahu wa ta`ala
says in Al-Quran:And it is not for the
believers to go forth [tobattle] all at once. For there
should separate from everydivision of them a group
[remaining]
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
21/48
to obtain understanding
in the religion and warn
their people when theyreturn to them that they
might be cautious.(At-Taubah: 122)
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
22/48
The previous verse clearly
explains that by sharingknowledge and reminders,
mankind will always be on thepath of truth and averted from
Allahs anger. In a narration,Saiyidina `Ali bin Abi Talib
radhiAllahu `anhu told a man:
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
23/48
Knowledge is better than
wealth, knowledge guards youwhile you have to guard you
wealth. Knowledge is thejudge (arbiter), but wealth is
the judged. Wealth reduceswhen used, but knowledge
grows when shared.
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
24/48
The saying ofSaiyidina `Ali bin
Abi Talib radhiAllahu `anhumeans that knowledge enables a
person to make wise andconsiderable decisions before
acting. On the other hand, anignorant person often acts
hastily and suffers from it.
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
25/48
Al-Quran, the Sunnah of the
Prophet sallAllahu `alayhiwasallam and the view of the
Companions radhiAllahuanhum explain a lot about
knowledge and its importance.Among them are:
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
26/48
1. Knowledge that is
practiced lasts, while
wealth does not last suchthat it reduces when used.
The Prophet sallAllahualayhi wasallam said:
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
27/48
When the son of Adam dies,
all of his good deeds stopexcept for 3 things; Sadaqah
[charity], knowledge that isbenefited from and the du`a
[invocation] of his righteouschildren (Sahih Bukhari & Muslim)
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
28/48
2. Allah subhaanahu wa
ta`ala chooses theknowledgeable people and
His angels to be witnesses
of His Lordship. He saysin the Quran:
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
29/48
Allah witnesses that there is
no deity except Him, and [sodo] the angels and those of
knowledge [that He is]maintaining [creation] in
justice. There is no deityexcept Him, the Exalted in
Might, the Wise. (Ali-Imran : 18)
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
30/48
3. Knowledge paves the
way to Jannah
[Paradise] for thosewho seek it. The
Prophet sallAllahu
alayhi wasallam said:
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
31/48
Whoever makes
effort to seek
knowledge, Allah
will make easy hispath to Jannah.(Sahih Muslim)
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
32/48
4. Knowledge is light that
shines on and guidespeople who are seeking
for the signs and guidance
of their one and onlyCreator i.e. Allah.
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
33/48
The Prophet sallAllahu `alayhi
wasallam likened theknowledgeable people to the
moon that is shining in themiddle of the night. These are
few proofs to illustrate theexcellence and advantages of
people of knowledge.
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
34/48
In a hadith narrated by
Mu`awiyah radhiAllahu`anhum, the Prophet sallAllahu
alayhi wasallam said: IfAllah intends for a person
goodness, he will be given theunderstanding of this Deen
(religion) .
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
35/48
This hadith is an
encouragement from theProphet sallAllahu alayhi
wasallam for us so that we
strive hard to acquireknowledge for our own
benefits.
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
36/48
One fact that can never be
denied is that knowledge iscritical for Muslims in order
for us to fulfill our obligationsin this religion. Matters
relating to Fardh `Ayn such aspraying, fasting, paying
Zakaat,
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
37/48
or going forHajj, as well as
Fardh Kifayah such asmarriage, managing the body of
a deceased all require specificknowledge. With knowledge, a
Muslim will be able to performhis prayer, fasting,Zakaatand
Hajj correctly.
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
38/48
With knowledge too,
matters ofFardh Kifayahcan be managed properly.
Imagine what would
happen to a lifeless body ifno one knows how to
handle it.
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
39/48
Imam Ash-Shafi`i
rahimahuAllah said:Whoever wishes for the
world, it has to be with
knowledge; and whoeverwishes for the Hereafter
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
40/48
should also do it
with knowledge;
and whoever wishes
for both must bewith knowledge.
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
41/48
In conclusion, whatever our
aims are in this life, be it fromthe worldly pleasures or the
Hereafter, we must prepareourselves with knowledge first.
Mankind is at loss, ignorant,powerless and heading toward
destruction without knowledge.
8/8/2019 khutbah 22.1.10
42/48
Say, "Are those who
know equal to those whodo not know?" Only
they will remember
[who are] people ofunderstanding. (Az-Zumar : 9)
