 فشرف بالاشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا بدا بدا وياله من شراف عظيمي The matter pertaining to knowledge that we're talking about we've mentioned the first part which is the importance of knowledge and we've covered that point because we're talking about beneficial knowledge so we talked about the importance of beneficial knowledge the second point that we spoke about is the types of beneficial knowledge there is and now we're going to talk about the third part which is implementing that knowledge a داعي who has understanding of the شريعة who has now got the knowledge that knowledge has to settle in the heart of the داعي you see it has to reside in his heart it has to reside in his heart the داعي good and he has to have the understanding it has to reside in his heart it also has to what it also has to be a knowledge that is in his mind that he has comprehended the second the third which is what that knowledge should then pass on to his limbs that is called the beneficial knowledge that's what that knowledge is beneficial that the person that knowledge roots into the person's mind into his heart settles in also he has comprehension, well comprehension of it the third which is what he acts upon that which necessitates it he acts upon that which that knowledge necessitates الله سبحانه وتعالى he warned the believers from a characteristics which is to have the knowledge and not to implement it as الله سبحانه وتعالى said in the Quran يا أيها الذين آمنوا لما تقولون مالا تفعلون كبورا مقتن عند الله ان تقولوا مالا تفعلون all those of you who believe why do you say that which you're not going to do why do you say it كبورا it has become great مقتن it's a great sin ان الله in the eyes of Allah ان تقولوا to say something مالا تفعلون that which you won't do to say that and call to something which you don't embark on and that is not found on you or in you you see the person shouldn't be like that and الله سبحانه وتعالى so here is a person allowed to conceal knowledge the answer is no a person is not allowed to conceal knowledge so if you're not allowed to conceal knowledge and you have to tell the people about it what do you mean you also have to implement it if you can't keep it in and you have to tell then that means you are not allowed to you're not allowed to be without implementing knowledge a person says a person may say to you I don't implement my knowledge so I'm not going to tell anybody anything well who said you can conceal the knowledge rather what you're doing now is two sins you're concealing the knowledge and you're not implementing it you're concealing it and you're not implementing it you've done two sins you're not allowed to conceal and الله سبحانه وتعالى ordered us as mankind to convey the knowledge as much as we're able to according to our ability and according to the knowledge in which we possess الله does not burden a person over that which he doesn't he has no ability for because الله said in the Quran about those who can conceal knowledge who don't call to it الله said الله says الله says the ones who conceal the knowledge on that which Allah has sent down from guidance and clarity after Allah clarified it for the people in the book those who conceal it الله سبحانه وتعالى will curse him الله سبحانه وتعالى and the curses will curse him so sometimes you find مسلم say be quiet about this matter don't talk about it well then I have to choose between two things shall I take the curse of Allah and the curses of the curses or shall I be quiet about the matter shall I be quiet about the matter because people may look down at me no I don't care if people look down at me the matter for me is what that the curses do not curse me and first of all Allah does not curse me and the curse it means الله is mercy it is distant from you the word لعن it means that Allah is mercy it means that Allah is distance from you then Allah is gonna distance He is mercy from you and then additional to that that the ones who are doing their لعنة will also be on you the allana of the ones that are saying they're also gonna go on you so no one should conceal knowledge the ulsel of knowledge that is given but that is the messenger peace be upon him he said peace and blessings be upon him أول جما يوم القيامة بليجامي من نار when a person is silent what happens he doesn't open his mouth right الجزاء من الجس العمل in accordance to what you have done in the earth is that when you became silent the day of judgment what's going to happen is a Hakama a rope will be put into your mouth like the horse can a person talk if a rope like that is put into your mouth and you're pulled with it are you able to speak no you want because you need your lips to speak you refuse to speak when you're in the earth the day of judgment well this time is different because that rope that's put in your mouth is going to be from the hellfire is going to be from the hellfire and it will be from ولي ذلك سفيان ابن عيينة ابن أبي عمران he said and he was the great noble sheikh رحمه الله تعالى he said أجهل الناس the most ignorant of people is منترا كما يعلم the most ignorant of people is the one who leaves of that which he knows وأعلم الناس and the most knowledgeable of people is من عامل the person who implements that which he knows وأفضل الناس and the most noblest of people is أخشعهم لله the one who has the most خشع to Allah سبحانه و تعالى and he also he سفيان ابن عيينة himself said يراد للعلم the intent of knowledge is what الحفظ والعمل والاستماع والإنصات والنشر five things in what's needed from knowledge the first one is to memorize it that's the first intent of knowledge the second one is to call to implement it sorry to implement it to you implement it the third which is the requirement of knowledge الاستماع is to listen to it the third which is to listen to it the fourth is worth والإنصات to be silent of it when you're taking it on take it on board be silent when the علم are teaching take your notes and everything with you the fifth which is the last one and نشر to convey it to go and teach the people and عمر رضي الله تعالى عنه used to say تعلموا قبل and تصودوا عمر used to say لان before you become famous لان before you become leaders لان acquire the knowledge because when a person normally tends to get and publicity or he gets position what happens a lot of the time is he loses the aspiration or the want to want to to learn tends to lose it especially the person who say I will lose my reputation why am I going to sit under this individual why am I so that leadership wouldn't allow him to learn that's why the seller عمر رضي الله عنه he said تعلموا قبل and تصودوا لان before you lead لان before you lead عبد الله عبد الله said تعلموا تعلموا فإذا علمتم فعملوا he said لان and if you learn implement it in another place he said a speech which he hurts the believer who has a heart who fills these words ابن عبد البر narrated this as he has narrated the one before in his kitab جامع بيان العلم وفضري that he said إن الناس أحسنوا القولة كلهم the people have perfected the speech good eloquent he comes on he speaks nice good speech he puts on وافقا فعلو فمن وافقا ذنش and عبد الله said anyone who is that beautiful speech of his فمن وافقا فعلو قولو and anyone whose speech it goes into it goes according to that and a speech his action goes in according to this beautiful speech he just puts on فذالك اللدي that is the person who has received his portion of goodness ومن خالف قولو and anyone who opposes his own speech that he said فعلوه his actions فإنما يوبقوا نفسه he is the one who is going to destroy himself and destroy others and destroy others so the person implements the knowledge أبو دردا said لا تكون لا تكون تقيا you are never going to be a taqi you are never going to have taqwa حتى تكون عالما until you become عالم you are never going to be a taqi until you are a scholar عالم ولا تكون بالعلم جميلة and you are not going to be beautiful with knowledge حتى تكون بعملة until you become one until you become one who implements the knowledge in which he knows and the poet said إذا العلم لم تعمل به كان حجة knowledge the poet said إذا العلم if knowledge لم تعمل به you don't implement implement it كان حجة and it becomes a proof over you عليك ولم تعدر بما أنت جاهل and you won't be excused for that which you ignorant about because you have knowledge فإن كنت قد أوتيت علما فإنما if you have been given a portion of knowledge you know you have knowledge if it's been given to you يصدق قول المرئ ما هو فاعله the person would be truthful about that which he says by making sure his actions follow it his actions it follows it عليك ولم تعدر and the hadith is collected in Bukhari and also صحيح مسلم that the messenger عليك ولم تعدر لا حسد إلا فيت نتيني envious is not a jealousy envy envy is not accepting two people رجل أيمان تاه الله مالا and and and the hasad here is not meant by تمني زوال النعمة you're not wishing that Allah takes you don't want to take it from them you just want to have it either the same as them or better than them لا حسد إلا فيت نتيني there is nothing you can be hasid on and you can have hasid with except two things the messenger said رجل أيمان أتاه الله مالا أيمان so صلط عليك في الحق and he just destroys that money in good gives it whenever he sees something good his hand is just open رجل أيمان أتاه الله الحكمة الله gave him wisdom فو يقبي بها وعلمها الله gave him wisdom and he judges in that wisdom he calls to that wisdom and also وعلمها and he teaches it that person those two people you can be jealous of gonna have envy of now now how can somebody obtain knowledge a question that's always asked recently a respected a loved brother to me and asked me that question he said to me how can you how can you obtain high aspiration and how can you obtain beneficial knowledge so the answer to the brother is as follows دركة تحسين العلم ways to obtain knowledge beneficial knowledge the first one is يسأل العبد ربه العلم النافع the first one is the servant asks الله for beneficial knowledge he begs Allah سبحانه وتعالى he asks him سبحانه وتعالى ويفتقر إليه and he shows that he is poor and he is in need of الله سبحانه وتعالى you see and Allah سبحانه وتعالى ordered the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم to ask him to increase him in knowledge ask me and I will increase you as Allah said in the Quran وقل رب زدني علم قل سي محمد رب my lord زدني علم increase me in knowledge my lord increase me in knowledge and the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said الله منفعني بما الله منفعني بما علمتني وعلمني ما ينفعني وزدني علم the hadith تدمدي narrated that the messenger used to say اللهم أو الله benefit me that which you already taught me and teach me that which will benefit me and increase me in knowledge the messenger used to make that dua so if you want to get beneficial knowledge beg Allah humble yourself to Allah ask him because knowledge is وع الله سبحانه وتعالى owns second one is الاجتهاد is to strive في طلب العلم is to strive in seeking knowledge strive and to show want and willingness and to come with all of the required means in seeking knowledge the knowledge of the book of Allah and the sunnah of the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم أيمان came to أبو هوريرا and he said إني أريد أيمان came to أبو هوريرا and he said to أبو هوريرا I want to أتعلم العلم I want to learn knowledge I want to gain knowledge وأخاف بريفية and أضيع I fear that I may forsake my responsibilities the things that I have to do my children I'm scared I might forsake أبو هوريرا said sufficient for you is to forsake knowledge كفا بتركك له طبيعة sufficient for you forsaking is the fact that you left knowledge what is worse to forsake your children and your wealth and now which is under you are to forsake knowledge he said enough is that you forsake knowledge and also one of the بعض الحكامة one of the wise men was once asked he was asked he was asked what are the what are the means that reasons a person or an individual can gain knowledge and then he said بالحرسة عليه يتبع striving that is followed by knowledge all the time striving والحب والحب له يستمع and with love with it he listens والب الفراغ له يجتمع and by being free and always being ready for knowledge anytime you push everything else aside and you're free for knowledge and it will come to you you see so he mentioned three things بالحرسة عليه يتبع by striving a person can really follow up knowledge one بالحب له يستمع with love a person is able to listen to knowledge three والب الفراغ له يجتمع يجتمع and also by freeing himself always trying to be free for knowledge knowledge will gather for him and then he said after that you come with that you gain knowledge how to still gain it even more علم علما كما يجعلك teach that knowledge to the person who is ignorant about it والتعلم من من يعلم and learn from the one who knows it فإنك فعلت ذلك he said if you do that علمت you learn ما جهلت that which you ignorant about it about وحفظت and you memorize ما تعلمت that which you already learned you memorize شافع رحم الله he said he mentioned in his poetry in his Diwan he said أخي لا تنال العلم إلا بستت سأمبيك عن تفصيلها ببياني ذكاء وحرص واجتهاد وبلغة وصحبة أستاذ وطول زمان إمام الشافع رحم الله he said أخي my brother لا تنال العلم you will never gain ببياني with clarity with clarity ذكاء the first one is what that you are smart وحرص and striving واجتهاد and حرص is that you willingness and اجتهاد is striving وبلغة reaching وصحبة أستاذ accompany the teacher وطول زمان and giving a time over time ذك إمام الشافع and point that he mentioned the third thing I mentioned too the first one was ask Allah to teach you beneficial knowledge the second one is to strive to the knowledge the knowledge and the third which is اجتناب جميع المعاصي to abstain from all forms of sinning to stay away from it and not to fall in it and Allah سبحانه وتعالى He said in the Quran واتقوا الله في الله ويعلمكم الله والله بكل شيء العلم في الله and Allah will teach you and Allah سبحانه وتعالى is most knowledgeable of everything في الله and Allah will teach you come with taqwa and Allah will teach you سورة البقرة آية 282 the next الله says يا أيها الذين آمنوا those who have iman انتتقوا الله if you fear Allah يجعلكم فرقانة Allah makes an opening for you knowledge starts to open those start to open for you and that is clear without a doubt that anyone who has come taqwa for Allah سبحانه وتعالى say you فرق به بين الحق والباطل Allah makes for him what an opening from the حق and the batil he starts to see which is the true and the beneficial knowledge and that which it is and beneficial that he doesn't want to learn ولي ذلك عبد الله بن مسعود used to say اني الأحساب ان الرجل ينسى العلمة قد عاليمه بذم نعمله عبد الله بن مسعود used to say I believe that a man will forget knowledge in which he has already gained because of a sin in which he's done he's done he used to say that I believe a person will forget a knowledge in which he's already gathered that he's compiled he will forget it because of a sin in which he he did عمر ابن عبد العزي said رحمه الله خمس اذا اخطأ القاذي من هن خطة خططة كانت فيه وصمتن ان يكون فهم عفيفا صليبا عالما سأولا عن العلمي عبد عمر ابن عزي خمس فايف اذا اخطأ القاذي فايف اذاً جنش فرانك من هن فامهم فامهم احد بلد احد بلد او اذا اذا فاما فايف احد of these five will be انه يفهم احد من these five that he's going to mention is going to be harmed due to his sin he's a fan, he's a dream, he's a forbearance, he's a lover, he's a chastity يبن is to be strong and powerful like the character that you can stand in front of the Haq you see six and five which is the last one عالم and سؤولة عن العلمي a scholar that the people ask knowledge since will affect all those five it will affect all those five and as I said and I say a lot شكوت إلى وكيع بسؤع حفظي فارشدني إلى ترك المعاصي واقبرني بأن علم الله نور ونور الله لا يهدى لعاصي he said I complained to وكيع and he's referring to وكيع ابن جراح ابن مليح his teacher even though some scholars said he never met him وكيع ابن جراح الإمام الشافع رحم الله I complained to him about his bad memory and he's strong that he never met him but he's famous so we don't need to divert from that فارشدني and he guided me to leave the sins off he said stay away from the sins شافع complained to وكيع but his bad memory the bad memory شافع was complaining about is the most the greatest memory that we would all wish to have today is that type of memory is what شافع is complaining about he's complaining about just forgetting two or three of the problems not us we forget every single thing and then he said to him he guided him to leave off the sins stay away from the sins and he told me that knowledge is light and the sins is a fire that extinguishes the light we'll just get rid of it number 4 أدم الكبري والحياة عن طالب العلم the fourth to not have arrogance and shyness because a person who is shy who is arrogant also they both don't learn both of them they don't learn لا يتعلم العلم المستحين ولا مستكبر مجاهد من جبر as بخاري narrated that he said the shy one and the arrogant one both don't learn and if you look at the hadith that الإمام البخاري narrated في كتاب العلم باب الحياة وفي العلم بخاري chapter the chapter of being shy in knowledge بخاري chapter that he brought the hadith of Aisha where she said نعم النساء نساء الأنصار blessed are the women of An-Sar why لم يمنعهن الحياة أن يتفقحنا في الدين shyness did not stop them from learning the religion they used to come to the prophet and they used to ask him things that people would be shy of but they used to ask so shyness did not stop the women of An-Sar to get for them to know and the Muslim sisters have to be like that don't let shyness stop you from learning the ruling of Amatah don't let it أم السلام رضي الله تعالى عنها she said يا رسول الله our messenger of Allah إن الله لا يستحيين من الحق and the Muslim said يا أم السلام رضي الله Allah is not shy of the haq فهل على المرعة من غسل does the women have to do غسل إذا حتلمت if she has a wet dream قال النبيو the messenger said إذا رأت الماء yes if she sees lubricant something that comes out so أم السلام she said the messenger of Allah إن الله لا يستحيين من الحق Allah is not shy of the haq and then she asked her question رضي الله تعالى عنها the last one which is الإخلاص في طالب العلم والعمل به the last one which is and the fifth one and that which allows a person to have knowledge and to implement knowledge is and it's the highest one rather the backbone أعظمها ولبها because the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم has said من تعلم علم anyone who learns a knowledge من ما يبتغى به he learns a knowledge and he does it for the sake of Allah لا يتعلمه and he doesn't learn that knowledge إلا ليصيب به عرض من الدنيا that a person he doesn't learn knowledge except he wants to gain dunya reasons for it لم يجد عرف الجنة يوم القيام will not find the fragrance of the jannah hereafter so the first person he learned the knowledge for the sake of Allah but this one he doesn't learn the knowledge except that his aim is to get a dunya purpose he wants the respect of the people he wants to what he wants to he wants to mop the scholars he wants to compete with the students of knowledge that's his aim he doesn't really want his aim isn't to benefit himself first and so for him to learn and that's why عبد الله ابن مسعود used to say إن الرجل لا ينال العلم بقدر نيتي that the person will gain knowledge according to his intention you will gain what you intend wherever you see your learning is because your intention is reached out far the more your intention is bigger and your sincerity is higher than insha'Allah the more Allah will teach you سبحانه وتعالى so for a person to learn these five things are required the last one of them is إخلاص and to implement that knowledge إخلاص sincerity and to implement it what do I mean go according to the sunnah of the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and we conclude there سبحانك اللهم بحمدك أشهد والله إلا الله أستغفرك واتوبوا إليه
