Dear Islamic brothers! Did you notice! A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه had so much passion and yearning for acquiring Islamic knowledge that a book which normally takes a long time if it is studied with understanding, but may              I become sacrificed for the yearning of A’la Hadrat’s Islamic knowledge, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه read not only the whole book in one night from beginning to end, but he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه also memorized it in a way that he himself stated: I hope, by the grace and mercy of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ that in two to three months (from this book) the sentence I will need I can write in (my own) Fatawa and the topic has been memorized for my whole life, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ. From this statement of A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, it has become clear that he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was well aware of the importance of time and the honour and respect of Islamic knowledge.

Amazing passion for acquiring Islamic knowledge

He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه devoted his entire life to acquiring and propagating Islamic knowledge. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه did not spend a single moment uselessly. He             رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه had started this blessed journey of acquiring Islamic knowledge since his childhood, because he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was from a pure religious and scholarly family. His respectable father and grandfather were also practicing (Islamic) scholars. The state of A’la Hadrat’s yearning for Islamic knowledge in his childhood was that he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would go himself to study without being asked by anyone. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه wanted to go on Friday as well, but he did not because his honourable father forbade him. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه understood that Friday is a very important day of the week, therefore, one should not study on a Friday, the remaining six days are for study.

(Hayat-e-A’la Hadrat, vol. 1, pp. 69)

Hence, we should also develop the yearning for acquiring Islamic knowledge and should acquire Islamic knowledge with enthusiasm. We should not be deprived of Islamic knowledge at all due to our laziness without any reason. Let’s listen to 3 blessed sayings of Beloved Mustafa صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم for attaining the yearning of acquiring Islamic knowledge.
