Seek Good Knowledge

Read Sultanق’s Sohbah here:

Seeking knowledge is Fard (obligatory) for believers. Knowledge is something people need to live well. It is something necessary in order to know what is good and what is bad. Therefore, it is Fard. For every believer to learn and to know what is good is Fard.

It is Fard al-Ayn, it is the duty for everyone. Fard al-Kifayah is when someone does it, the rest may not do it. Certainly, not everyone is going to become a scholar when they attain knowledge. When they learn little by little and continuously, as they learn, more understanding opens and they become better. They know what they do. Sometimes people think they are doing goodness but do something bad.

Therefore, we must learn everything. The things that must be done; your actions, behavior within a family or outside, in the street or in the market; all of them, Shukr to Allah ﷻ, the religion of Islam teaches about everything. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla made Islam in such a way. There is knowledge in Islam that teaches everyone what to do. Therefore, from the infancy of people till the grave, Islam teaches everything that should be done. Step by step as much as they can learn.

Certainly, some people must learn more. There are things that some people have to learn in their lives for the pleasure of Allah ﷻ, in order to go on the way of Allah ﷻ. Allah ﷻ gives everyone according to their understanding and capacity.

Therefore, it is beneficial for people to learn what is good. People nowadays don’t learn good things. They are learning bad things and show up as good ones. And then there is no peace. They look for happiness. But there is no more happiness, no more humanity. There are all kinds of bad things. They say “I learned a lot”. What they learnt is not knowledge. They are teaching ignorance most of the time. And people are teaching it to each other.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says to learn good knowledge. That is what is necessary. The rest is not only unnecessary, it is something harmful. May Allah ﷻ protect us from the evil of shaytan. The place where the true beautiful knowledge is next to Murshids, because they keep it the same way they’ve seen from our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

As we said, there are many people who say they are Muslim and show other things. They are cheating people and ruining them. They will be ruined both here and hereafter. May Allah ﷻ protect us from all of them. May Allah ﷻ protect us from people like them and from people who are enemies of Allah ﷻ. May Allah ﷻ give strength to our Iman. 

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
