RELIGIOUS KNOWLEDGE FOR THE SAKE OF OTHER THAN ALLAH

1665

“Whosoever learns knowledge of the kind which is sought for the Sake of Allah, the Mighty, the Glorified - and does not learn it except to gain the pleasure of this life will never find the fragrance of Paradise on the Day of Resurrection.”

Abu Daud with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.

THINGS WHICH ARE NOT OSTENTATIOUS

Allah, the Exalted says:

“That is the Last Abode,

We shall assign it to those

who desire neither exorbitance in the earth,

nor corruption.

The outcome is for the cautious.” 28:83 Koran

“Do not walk proudly in the earth......” 17:37 Koran

“Do not turn your cheek in scorn away from people,

nor walk proudly on the earth;

Allah does not love the proud and the boastful. 31:18 Koran

“Korah was one of Moses’ nation.

But he was insolent to them,

for We had given him such treasures

that their very keys were too heavy a burden

for even the strong.

His people said to him:

‘Do not exult; Allah does not love the boastful…’

…We caused the earth to swallow him,

together with his dwelling. … 28:76 & 81 Koran
