Assalamualaikum warahamatullahi wabarakatahu !!

Day 16 of Ramzan (In India)

WHAT IS SEEKING? !!

Knowledge can refer to a theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. It can be implicit (as with practical skill or expertise) or explicit (as with the theoretical understanding of a subject); it can be more or less formal or systematic.

IMPORTANCE OF SEEKING ?!

Allaah created man and provided him with the tools for acqruiring knowledge, namely hearing, sight and wisdom. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

"And Allâh has brought you out from the wombs of your mothers while you know nothing. And He gave you hearing, sight, and hearts that you might give thanks (to Allâh)

[al-Nahl 16:78]

Islam is the religion of knowledge. The first aayah of the Qur'aan to be revealed enjoined reading which is the key to knowledge. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

"Read! In the Name of your Lord Who has created (all that exists).

He has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood).

Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous.

Who has taught (the writing) by the pen.

He has taught man that which he knew not"

[al-'Alaq 96:1-5]

In Islam, knowledge comes before action; there can be no action without knowledge, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

"So know (O Muhammad) that Laa ilaaha ill-Allâh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh), and ask forgiveness for your sin, and also for (the sin of) believing men and believing women"

[Muhammad 47:19]

Allaah warns every Muslim against speaking without knowledge, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):

"And follow not (O man, i.e., say not, or do not, or witness not) that of which you have no knowledge. Verily, the hearing, and the sight, and the heart of each of those ones will be questioned (by Allâh)"

[al-Israa' 17:36]

Emphasizing the status of knowledge and the scholars, Allaah calls upon the scholars to bear witness to His Oneness, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):

"Allâh bears witness that Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), and the angels, and those having knowledge (also give this witness); (He always) maintains His creation in justice. Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the All‑Mighty, the All-Wise"

[Aal 'Imraan 3:18]

Knowledge and fear of Allaah may be attained by knowing His signs and creation. The knowledgeable are those who know that, hence Allaah praises them by saying (interpretation of the meaning):

"It is only those who have knowledge among His slaves that fear Allâh"

[Faatir 35:28]

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "When Allaah wishes good for a person, He makes him understand the religion." (Agreed upon. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 69)

There is no goodness in knowledge which is not confirmed by action, or words which are not confirmed by deeds:

"O you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do?

Most hateful it is with Allâh that you say that which you do not do"

[al-Saff :2-3]

May Allah (SWT) grant us hidayah and may we share knowledge only after knowing and applying it in our lives ..Aameen Summa Aameen

Pray for me to apply these knowledge in my life .in sha Allah ..Aameen

With love ❤
