times better than those who did Jehad in Turkey and Rome. The reason for this is that the learned protect the Shias.” • Imam Moosi Kazim (a.s.) said,” the person who saves the ignorant Shias is the scholar of Jurisprudence. The scholar is more dominant on the Satan than a thousand persons of piety. Because a pious person tries only for his own deliverance while a scholar guides lots of people against the machinations of the Satan. On the Day of Judgement a herald would cry,’O guide of the orphans! You were taking responsibility of giving guidance to them in the absence of the Imam (a.s.)! Intercede on behalf of those who took guidance from you! Then he will accordingly intercede. On his recommendation hundreds of thousands of his disciples and the disciples of his disciples will receive Deliverance.” • Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s.) said,” during the absence of the Last Imam (a.s.), the scholars will have the responsibility of explaining about the Imamat and protecting the Shias from the treachery of the Satans amongst the men. If these scholars were not there, the Shias could have gone astray. The nosestring of the Shias is in the hands of the scholars, as the sailor would hold the sail of a craft. Therefore the status of the scholars in the eyes of Allah is very superior. • The Prophet of Islam (a.s.) has said,” religious dicourse is like the lamp under a rosary. It is a friend in the loneliness of the grave. The religious scholar is like a sharp sword against the enemies. The Angels are the friends of the scholars and they keep praising them in their prayers. THE SECOND MAXIM: THE TYPES OF KNOWLEDGE Every seeker of knowledge should try to acquire learning that is of perpetual and eternal value. His knowledge should be to please his Lord, Allah. One should remember that every type of knowledge does not have the approval of the Creator. If a person seeks knowledge about astrology or sorcery, he will definitely invite the wrath of Allah. Such persons will be judged as those who have strayed from the right path. The Prophet of Islam (a.s.) has said, “ There are only three types of knowledge: 1. Learning the apparent meanings of the Holy Quran. 2. Learning about the mandatory practices that Allah, in His Justice, has prescribed for the humankind. 3. The orders of the Sunnat, the Holy Prophet (a.s.)’s Religious Rites Ordained by him. All else is futile. THE SYMBOLS OF A SCHOLAR
Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s.) says that Hazrat Luqman (a.s.) said to his son that there are three symbols by which a scholar is identified: The first symbol is that a scholar has knowledge of Allah, the Almighty. The second symbol is that his actions are commensurate with what Allah expects of him. The third symbol is that he is totally aware of the actions that are against the wish of Allah and abstains from them. • One person came to Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s.) and said, “ O Imam (a.s.)! My son wishes to know from you about matters Halal (lawful) and Haram (prohibited). He will not pose to you any questions that are not beneficial to him.” The Imam (a.s.) said, “ Do any people ask anything that is better than the information about Halal and Haram? The most beneficial is the knowledge that has the approval of Allah and the Deliverance of the person will depend on putting it into practice. That type of knowledge reaches us through the medium of the Quran, the Hadith and the Immaculate Imams of the Prophet (a.s.)’s Family. It is also essential to acquire knowledge that will give us the understanding of the Quran, Hadith and the Traditions of the Prophet (a.s.) and His Holy Family. Therefore it is essential to strive to acquire only this knowledge, as a religious and moral duty. This will be a vehicle for Deliverance in the Hereafter. Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s.)said that Hazrat Luqman (a.s.) told to his son that there are three characteristics of a scholar, by which he is recognized: 1. The scholar has an understanding of Allah, the Creator. 2 2. The scholar knows about the things that have the Pleasure of Allah. 3. The scholar is also aware of what displeases Allah. The Imam (a.s.) also said that the types of learning that are of benefit are: 1. Understanding Allah. 2. Understanding Allah’s Bounties. 3. Understanding the need to abide by Allah’s Wish. 4. Understanding the taboo things, the things that create a schism between the man and his Faith. THE THIRD MAXIM: THE NORMS OF KNOWLEDGE & ACTION
