1 - Endless Bliss - Hüseyin Hilmi Işık

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]

of practising it with ikhlâs, th will not th be beneficial.
