Words of Wisdom
Allah has given us the responsibility and ability to seek knowledge. When seeking knowledge, people often ask, What's the most important thing? The answer is simple: Fear Allah, and Allah will teach you, for Allah knows everything. The best thing we can do is acknowledge that all good things come from putting our faith, trust, hope, and aspirations in Allah. We should do our best to obey Allah and avoid sin, which will lead to all goodness in this world and thereafter. Allah will guide us to whatever we need to know and do to be successful in both worlds. When we have taqwa (consciousness and fear of Allah), knowledge becomes more than informationit becomes guidance, light, and a means of drawing closer to our Creator and to each other.
Hadeeth of the Day
Mu'awiyah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, O people, knowledge only comes by learning, and understanding only comes by seeking understanding. For whoever Allah wills goodness, He grants him understanding of the religion. Verily, only those with knowledge fear Allah among His servants. (35:28)
