When we are in examination room, we are not allowed to copy or cheat others, we are not allowed to open a book when we forget, we are not allowed to help anyone else to pass the exam!
How easy is the exam from Allah We are allowed to copy the righteous man. We always have the book ( Quran) to open when we forget. We are even encouraged to help others in this exam. By doing so, we get bonus points too.
Description: This lesson gives insight into the reasons behind Islam giving great importance to seeking knowledge and the fruits one may reap from it.
Objectives
· To appreciate the unique importance given by the religion of Islam in seeking knowledge.
· To identify what kind of knowledge should be sought.
· To realize patience and devotion as being crucial elements in the process of acquiring knowledge.
· To learn about some of the measures a person should take to enable him to reap the fruits of knowledge.
No other religion or institution gives as much importance to knowledge as the religion of Islam. The religion has made seeking knowledge incumbent upon all Muslims and has deemed that not doing so as a sin. The Prophet, may Allah praise him, said in an authentic narration (hadeeth):
“Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim.” (Al-Tirmidhi)
This obligation is not limited to a certain sex or class, but rather it is as much as an obligation upon women as it is for men, the young and the old, and the poor and the rich. Allah has raised the ranks and status of those who have knowledge, and has praised them in many places in the Quran. Allah says:
“Allah raises of those who believe and those who have been given knowledge many levels.” (Quran 58:11)
There is a great difference between a Muslim who has knowledge and one who does not. The Prophet described this in his saying:
“The excellence of a scholar over another (ordinary) worshipper is like the excellence of the full moon over the rest of the heavenly bodies.” (Abu Dawood)
He also said:
“The excellence of a scholar over another (ordinary) worshipper is like the excellence of me over the least of you.” (Al-Tirmidthi)
Why has Allah given such preference to those who have knowledge to those who do not? The role of the Prophets was to impart knowledge to the creation, knowledge directly from our Creator, about His Self and Attributes, as well as how humans are to please Him and avoid His anger. Here we see the importance of knowledge in the life of a Muslim. In order that He worship Allah correctly, do deeds which please Allah and avoid what angers Him, the Muslim must seek knowledge. If they do not, they will live their entire lives doing things which might actually oppose the teachings of the religion, causing him to earn the punishment of Allah instead of His forgiveness.
Islam is a perfect religion which provides solution to every problem and answer to every question. As the word 'Islam' means 'peace', it is effectively the religion of every human who likes peace. Peace within a human being, peace of mind, peace at home, peace in the society, and peace in the world. In other words Islam is a way of achieving peace by submitting to the Will of God.
