5-Endless Bliss Fifth Fascicle - Hakikat Kitabevi

Our Prophet ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’
stated, “A person whom Allâhu ta’âlâ loves
very much is one who learns his religion
and teaches it to others. Learn your
religion from the mouths of Islamic
scholars!”
A person who cannot find a true scholar
must learn by reading books written by the
scholars of Ahl as-sunna, and try hard to
spread these books. A Muslim who has ’ilm
(knowledge), ’amal (practising what one
knows; obeying Islam’s commandments and
prohibitions), and ikhlâs (doing everything only
to please Allâhu ta’âlâ) is called an Islamic
scholar. A person who represents himself as
an Islamic scholar though he lacks any one of
these qualifications is called an ‘evil religious
scholar’, or an ‘impostor’. An Islamic scholar is
a guard who protects Islam. An impostor is
Satan’s accomplice.[1]
______________
[1] Knowledge that is acquired not for the purpose
of practising it with ikhlâs, will not be beneficial.
