Imperfection of Knowledge

"Everyone has an imperfection of knowledge and wisdom, if his wealth increases, he becomes so happy though day and night are working hard on destroying his life-span. So what is good of a wealth that increases and a life-span that decreases."Abu Dardaa'

  1. Ibn Mas`ood, raDiallaahu `anhu, said:
    "True knowledge is not measured in relationship to how much you memorize and then narrate, but rather, true knowledge is an expression of piety [protecting oneself from what Allaah prohibited and acting upon what He mandated]."Also, "Study and act upon what you learn."

  2. Almost about a year ago I was settled in Paistan and doing very good job and earnining a lot of money and truly learning and teaching biochemistry to medical students. I had freshly completed the Taleem o Quran course.So i am feeling Allah SWT in my lectures. Due to my family i have to shift oman and left all my activities. Alhamdullih i engage myself here in learning and teaching Quran. After some time i always surrounded by thoughts of past and feel depressed why i leave such idealistic job and what i am doing here nothing related to my specialization. So when i read this sentance what is good of a wealth that increases and a life-span that decreass." I than thought that i am not desrtroying my life span although i am not getting lot of wealth and job experiance.

  3. Knowing the difference between right and wrong and haraam and halaal although may decrease the wealth of this world but will increase the wealth for the afterlife where it is much needed. Taqwa is the true guide in making the right choices in our life.
