O devotees of Rasool! Let’s be privileged to listen to the Madani pearls regarding acquiring the knowledge of Deen. Let’s first listen to 2 blessed sayings of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم:

1. The Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: ‘The one who treads on a path in order to seek knowledge, Allah Almighty makes the path to Paradise easy for him.’ (Muslim, pp. 1110, Hadees 6853)

2. The Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: ‘The one who leaves his home in the search of knowledge, angels become happy of this action of his and spread their wings for him. (Tabarani Kabeer, vol. 8, pp. 55, Hadees 7350)

٭ Acquiring knowledge is also the best virtuous deed.

٭ Asking questions in order to acquire knowledge is indeed a means of virtue. However, it is also essential to abide by the etiquette of asking a question. (Faizan-e-Data ‘Ali Hajwayri, pp. 13)

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