knowledge is something that each individual muslim must have..
Allah honored those who seek His knowledge, far out and spread..
Yet..knowledge is something that i'm afraid to seek.. (though my only fear is to Allah)..
A companion of the prophet(pbuh);
Hazrat Ibn Mas'ud said:
"Soon there will come a time over the people when sweetness of heart will vanish. At that time neither the teachers, nor the taught will get any benefit from learning. The hearts of the learned will be hard like a hard stone. Rains will fall on it from the sky but it will slip away there from. The reason is that the hearts of the learned will be addicted to the love of this world. God will then rob them of the fountain of wisdom and extinguish the light of guidance from their hearts. They will say to you by their tongue 'Fear God' but sin will be exposed in their actions. Tongue will then become dry and heart hard. The only reason is that the teachers will teach except for the sake of God"
What i learned, i should put it into my heart..i need to practice it so that the knowledge won't fade away to the back of my head.. And i need to spread the knowledge once i've known it.. But, it will be sinful if i spread knowledge that myself do not use it or put it into practice.
oh..how i yearn to be strong..to be wise..not to stand out from the groups of people..but to stay away from the hell-fire..taking a caution step..
nonetheless..i could not run from being feed by knowledge..As it comes only once..if i turn away now..when will i get it back..
