[4] Advice for the seekers of knowledge–Don’t degrade yourself for the sake of the Dunya

Some of the wise people said: Whoever is given knowledge (of the religion) and knowledge of the Qur’aan, then it is incumbent that he is aware of himself. He does not lower himself to the people of the Dunya (i.e. those with worldly riches) due to what they possess of the worldly riches; for indeed he has been given better than what has been given to the people of the worldly riches. That is because Allaah (The Most High) called the worldly life ‘A Short Enjoyment; so He said: [قُلۡ مَتَـٰعُ ٱلدُّنۡيَا قَلِيلٌ۬ -Say: “Short is the enjoyment of this world]; and He called knowledge and the Qur’aan [خَيۡرً۬ا ڪَثِيرً۬ا‌ۗ- Abundant good]

[3] Advice for the seekers of knowledge-[Do not be oblivious of this affair!]

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam, Seeking Knowledge, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Allaah (The Most High) stated about the one who was not benefited by the abundant knowledge that was given to him:

[وَلَوۡ شِئۡنَا لَرَفَعۡنَـٰهُ بِہَا- And had We willed, We would surely have elevated him therewith (7:176)]

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said: Therefore, Allaah informed (us) that being elevated in His presence is not merely acquired through knowledge, for indeed this person was from the scholars; rather elevation is acquired through adherence to the truth, giving precedence to it and aiming to please Allaah. Indeed, this person was among the most knowledgeable during his era, but he was neither elevated through his knowledge nor did he benefit from it. We seek Allaah’s protection from knowledge that does not benefit.

[2] Advice for the seekers of knowledge

Shaikh Raslaan (may Allaah preserve him) said:
It is not for anyone to come along with a sound proof and then subjugate it to his own understanding- deceived and being at with ease with philosophical speech-; claiming that he has a sound proof with him, whilst there is not except his own understanding and a religion legislated for him by his desires.

[1] Advice for the seekers of knowledge

Shaikh Raslaan (may Allaah preserve him) stated:

When Allaah (The Mighty and Majestic) commanded His slaves to worship Him (alone), He did not leave them to seek a means to this great purpose through any course they want and adopt any means (based on their own) view; rather He legislated worship and legislated its howness (i.e.the manner in which it should be performed), and He precisely determined its form. And anyone who falls short in this or anyone who adds to it, then he is from the transgressors and his deed is rejected. It has been reported in the Saheehayn (i.e. Bukhaari and Muslim) from Aisha (radiyallaahu-anhaa) who said: The Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said:

[من أحدث في أمرنا هذا ما ليس منه فهو رد]- Whoever innovates into this affair of ours (i.e. in this religion) that which is not from it will have it rejected.

[3] Greenlane’s Admin—[Bold Faced Liars; False Claimants to Salafiyyah; Shelterers of Ahlul Bidah & Allies of Naveed Ayaz [IslamNelson/Madeenah.con)]

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Refutations, Scholars of Islam, Tamyee'.

Greenlane’s Admin [Bold Faced Liars; False Claimants to Salafiyyah and Shelterers of Ahlul Bidah] state on their website as follows: ”GLMCC has excellent contacts with illustrious Scholars throughout the world, especially with Saudi Arabia.”

It is very clear to every Salafi that this Admin shelters and co-operates with individuals and organizations from Ahlul Bidah. This is something established with absolute certainty due to what is clearly witnessed by every Salafi Masjid and Markaz. However, the hizbiyyoon will do whatever is within their capability to flout the sound principles of Ahlus Sunnah in order to conceal their deviations. So you will hear them confusing the people with the claim: ”We have contact with the scholars”; however the attendance of scholars at a Masjid, Markaz or organization of hizbiyyah does not alter its reality. So we’ll suffice ourselves with the following information, which In-Shaa-Allaah will shed light on this affair and expose the deceit of the hizbiyyoon.

Imaam Ash-Shaafi’ee (rahimahullaah) said:

”Whoever wants the dunyah (i.e. a blessed life in this dunyah and not that one seeks religious knowledge for the purpose worldly goods), then upon him is (to pursue) knowledge. And whoever wants the afterlife, then upon him is (to pursue) knowledge.”

Imaam Shaafi’ee (rahimahullaah):

”After fulfilling what Allaah has obligated (i.e. through knowledge that is Fard Ayn); there is (nothing) more virtuous than seeking knowledge (i.e. knowledge that is Fard Kifaayah) by way of which the slave seeks to get closer to Allaah.”
