DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a, 9th day of Dhul-QA^DAH. (Wednesday, 8th of June, 2022). *_SEEKING KNOWLEDGE IN ISLAAM_*. BismilLah.
Our beloved Messenger of ALLAH sallallahu alaihi wasallam said: “Seeking Knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim.
Though this Hadith is known and memorised by most Muslims, the essence, the amount, and the kind of knowledge referred to in this Hadith remains misunderstood by many.
If it is true that the knowledge incumbent upon every Muslim pertains to religious knowledge, or al-‘Ilm al-Shar’i, how deeply does one have to pursue his quest of this knowledge to fulfil his duties and discharge the learning obligations placed upon him? In other words, what are the minimum teachings that every Muslim – male or female – is required to know about his or deen Deen?
Muslim scholars classify knowledge into two categories:
Obligatory Knowledge (fardh ‘ayn)
This refers to knowledge of the fundamentals of Islamic beliefs which every Muslim must know Seeking this knowledge is an obligatory duty upon every Muslim. All obligatory knowledge deal exclusively with al-‘Ilm al-Shari’i, that is, knowledge pertaining to Islamic faith, acts of worship, and the necessary transaction in the daily dealing of a Muslim. To be continued tomorrow in shaa ALLAH. *_May ALLAH keeps guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.
