The Shaykh (rahima-hullaah) mentions:

((There is no doubt, the more a person increases in knowledge, naturally he increases in learning and differentiating the truth from the falsehood, and the harmful from the beneficial, and like this he reaches a level whereby Allaah bestows understanding upon him.

This is because taqwa is a means for strengthening understanding, and strong understanding assists in increasing knowledge.

So you see two men memorising an aayah from the Book of Allaah, one of them can extract from it three rulings, whilst the other is able to extract more than this, according to that which Allaah has blessed him with in understanding.))

Yes brother the sheikh is indeed right. Quran and hadith have many references to the importance of ILM and how it is incumbent on each one of us to acquire knowledge. The hadith also mentions that "Momin sees with the noor of Allah."

Indeed Ilm benefits the aalim on many levels. The truth is the more of Ilm in society benefits it. On the other hand the deficit of it leads to total disaster as we can see today.

Jazkallah for such nice post

Assalaam walaikum,

Understanding is one of the greatest gifts of Allah subhana talla. But we can not point fingers and say this world is totally evil. It is not. If we have ones who can see with the Light of Allah how can this be a bad place.

Assalaam walaikum,

There must be Truth in the verses. A simple humble woman and a renouned poet coming to the same conclusion.

I bid my brothers and sisters a blessed day.
