Hadith About Gaining Knowledge And The Warning Of Hell
@irfan76 sir for easy explanation i would be using diagram to describe inshallah. In the picture related to Hajj, like you can see that both (1) and (2) are permissible and okay. But i guess the people at prophet’s time had a biddah that if someone makes a trip to Makkah for Hajj then he should not do anything else, in their mind the third picture diagram (3) was not appropriate, so from my understanding in the ayat above Allah refuted this belief and allowed the (3) scenario but we see that money earning is “Not because of ibadah” but only because of business (selling buying) And in the second diagram i meant to say that things written in black can be done both for pleasing Allah or for some other reason. It is ibadah when it becomes Blue arrow and Mubah thing when it is a Red arrow. So what i meant to say is that anything of worldly gains if it is made an aim by the way of Blue arrow, then it is shirk etc (but some benefit if comes itself, it’s no problem. Our intention should not be to seek it). You can see in both examples. So i meant to say that mere getting information of Islam. Is it of Blue category or is it of Black color category? Ps. I am really sorry for putting up many questions sir
of course not. There is nothing objectionable, as discussed earlier. it is not like saying prayer. When you impart knowledg it benefits other, so you can have monitary advangate of it.
@Irfan76 sir there is an Hadith mentioned Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2655 Narrated Ibn ‘Umar: that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever learns knowledge for other than (the sake of) Allah, or intends by it other than Allah, then let him take his seat in the Fire.” Somewhere it is said that this Hadith is zaeef and somewhere it is said that this Hadith is Hassan-Gareeb. But sir if we consider this ahadith reliable, even though the words use of “anything other than Allah” it apparently seems to be a full sweeping statement that anything aim other than pleasure of Allah, is sinful. But we would have to comprehend this ahadith in terms of only those “other than Allah” intentions that fall into sin and are bad, other than that Mubah intentions which are even if other than Allah’s sake, it won’t be wrong, right sir?
