Knowledge Enlivens the Heart

KNOWLEDGE ENLIVENS THE HEART
By Imam Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali

· Acquire knowledge because doing so is good.

· Seeking it is worship.

· Reviewing it is glorifying Allah.

· Researching it is jihad.

· Teaching it to the ignorant is charity.

· Serving the scholars is a way of drawing near to Allah because knowledge is the path of ascension to the stations of Paradise.

· It is a companion in isolation and a comrade in distant lands.

· It speaks to you in solitude.

· It is a guide to prosperity and a shield against adversity.

· It beautifies one among friends and is a weapon against enemies.

· With it Allah elevates people and makes them guides and leaders of good.

· The scholars are people whose words are sought and whose actions are imitated.

· The angels long for the scholar’s company and comfort them with their wings.

· Everything, the fish of the sea, the beasts of the earth, the predators of the land and sea, and the cattle pray that blessings come upon them.

· Knowledge enlivens the heart against ignorance, illuminates the eyes against darkness, and strengthens the body.

· It transports the servants to the mansions of the select and the righteous and to the highest ranks in the world and in the Hereafter.

· Contemplating it is equivalent to fasting, and reviewing it is equivalent to the Night Prayer vigil.

· With it, kinship is united and the lawful is distinguished from the unlawful.

· Knowledge is an imam which leads to righteous actions.

· It is craved by the people destined for Paradise and shunned by people destined for Hell.

Hi!i am new here and sth puzzles me.Why do u use so many Arabic words?

assalam 'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh (May peace and blessings of Allah be upon you) sister

Welcome to the family of TTI. Please do not hesitate to start new threads, post in existing threads and/or asking any question(s) that may arise. InshaAllah (God Willing), you will see all the brothers and sisters over here are very helpful. :)

As per the Arabic words, yes we use them as they are included in most of the talks the Muslims (like you) have. For example: Alhamdhulillah! (Thank is to Allah), Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest), MashaAllah (As Allah Willed) etc etc.

Within few days, you will learn most of those small small words inshaAllah (God Willing). :)

wassalam 'alaikum and welcome again
