Remaining Madani pearls for a seeker of knowledge

٭ Knowledge is a treasure and asking question is the key to it.

(Firdaus-ul-Akhbar, vol. 2, pp. 80, Hadees 4011)

٭ In order to acquire knowledge, one shall not feel shy in asking questions.

 (A’rabi kay Suwalat aur ‘Arabi Aqa kay Jawabat, pp. 8)

٭ Flattering is not from the character of a believer, but one can do flattering in order to acquire knowledge.

(Shu’ab-ul-Iman, vol. 4, pp. 224, Hadees 4863)

٭ Such questions shall be avoided that neither have worldly benefit nor of the Hereafter. (A’rabi kay Suwalat aur ‘Arabi Aqa kay Jawabat, pp. 9)

٭ Example of the one acquiring knowledge but not spreading it is like the one who gathers treasure but does not spend anything from it.

(Mu’jam-e-Awsat, vol. 1, pp. 204, Hadees 689)

٭ When you need to ask a question to any scholar, then out of respect, take his permission to ask the question.

(A’rabi kay Suwalat aur ‘Arabi Aqa kay Jawabat, pp. 6)

٭ Excess of knowledge is acquired through seeking it and awareness is gained through questioning. So learn what you do not know and act upon what you do know. (Jami’ Bayan-il-‘Ilm, vol. 1, pp. 122, Hadees 402)

٭ The best time to gain knowledge is the early youth, time of Sahari and the time between Maghrib and ‘Isha Salah. However, this fact was regarding what was superior. A student of knowledge should remain engaged in acquiring knowledge at all times. (Rah-e-‘Ilm, pp. 73)
