| Prophet's Speech on Importance of Knowledge Mu'ath bin Jabal narrated that the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said the following. Acquire knowledge, for surely it leads to fear of Allah. Seeking it is an act of worship ('ibadah); studying it is praising Allah; seeking it is jihad; teaching it to whomever doesn't known it is an act of charity (sadaqah); and giving it to its people draws one closer to them. Knowledge points to the permissible (Halaal) and the forbidden (haraam); and it is a shining light pointing the way to paradise. It comforts the lonely, befriends the estranged, and talks to you in seclusion. It is a guide through prosperity and adversity; it is a weapon against enemies; and it is the best of friends. With knowledge, Alláh raises people to high stations, making them leaders in goodness, whose steps are traced. Their example is emulated, their opinion followed. The angels like to sit with the people of knowledge, surrounding their wings; and everything dry or wet, - fish of the sea and animals on land, - will ask Allah to forgive them. Knowledge gives life to the heart in the midst of ignorance, and illumines vision in the darkness. With knowledge, God's servants become the elite and reach the highest degrees in this life and in the hereafter. Contemplation with knowledge is equivalent to fasting (sawm); spending time to study it is equivalent to standing at night in prayer (qiyam); duties to relatives are fulfilled by it; and through it the halaal and haraam are known. Knowledge precedes action ('amal) and action always follows it. The fortunate ones attain it and the miserable ones are deprived of it |

| IMPORTANT, Please help: My father served the Muslim Community for over 35 years as an Imam but now that he need help few have come forth to help him. Over the past months I have appealed to family and friend and Muslims to help my father with raising money for bail/legal expenses or probono lawyer help, because he has been accused on false charges/lies by his two younger children mother, accusing him of threatening to kill her. This is the second time she has done this in last 4 years. Before he spent 8 months in county before she admitted her lies. My father raised me as Muslim and told me to go to the people, because there are always good people, Muslims and non-Muslims. A warrant has been issued for his arrest and he had to flee home and family because he does not have bail money. I am his 19 year old son. If you can help in any way please send whatever you can, if only $1 and we promise to use it only for legal help and expenses. Send to SMujahid, 1715 South 9th Street, Camden, NJ 08104. This is an urgent appeal. Please pass this on to otherw whom you think might help. |
