Hadith About Gaining Knowledge And The Warning Of Hell
Aa told earlier , any entity which can be pleased as a rival to God brings an act of good as shirk or riyakari. Having no intention or having an intention which is not rival to good doesn’t not make an act or intention shirk. An example given earlier again put here, that if I show my saying of prayer toy kids to make them namazi is a good intention and not riyakari although there is an entity( kids) other than God. So having another intention is not shirk. Only that intention to please an entity is shirk that can be rival to God
@irfan76 sir but we see also that scholars say that doing an act of ibadah for earning money is also shirk, but here no one is being pleased. Only money is being earned in return for worship. Like here we see that intention for worship (which is to be done for Allah) is actually being done to earn money, hence scholars say this to be shirk, like someone says to someone that I’ll give you such such amount of money if you pray namaz, and by namaz they don’t mean mere postures of namaz but actually the real proclamation of glory of Allah and displaying submissiveness to Allah by those actions, which make it a namaz. So i person does that namaz for money, that scholars also say is Shirk
@Irfan76 and sir also I’m putting 2 Ahadith here, so can you explain to me according to which rules of Islamic violation, do these actions come under?; Jabir ibn Abdullah reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Do not acquire knowledge to impress the scholars, nor to argue with the fools, and do not seek the best seat in the gathering by it. Whoever does so, then to the Hellfire, the Hellfire!” Source: Sunan Ibn Mājah 254 https://www.abuaminaelias.com/dailyhadithonline/2021/11/22/islamic-knowledge-dunya/ Whoever seeks knowledge to impress the scholars, to argue with the foolish, or to attract the attention of people, Allah will admit him into Hellfire. Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2654 https://www.abuaminaelias.com/dailyhadithonline/2013/05/05/warning-seek-knowledge-dunya/ Sir so 4 things are mentioned here 1) Impressing scholar 2) seeking seats in front (seeking honor i guess) 3) seeking attention of people 4) arguing with fool So according to my opinion the 1st case can fall under both ‘Riya’ (display of piety or pleasing scholars by making them know that one persuaded and acquired such knowledge for Allah) or it can fall under maybe “Istikbaar” and display of greatness both of which can be huge sins leading to hell. The 2nd case can also be like case of “Riya”, earning people’s honor by showing them that he strived to become knowledgeable for Allah and became, just like ‘a real scholar’ does and hence gaining their respect The 3rd case is also similar to them, like “Riya” and seeking people’s attention and praises. The 4th case i don’t know to which extent it falls to, maybe to maintain and hold his own superiority to others, like “Istikbaar”. Sir am i understanding the point of Ahadith right? Can you explain me which violation of Islamic law does each case fall into?
