Explanation And Theme Of A Hadith Regarding Islamic Knowledge
@Irfan76 sir i meant to ask like doing any action in “deeni haisyat” or “Deen pe Amal karne ke Liye” is only to be done for Allah and consciously no other aim is acceptable. (ps. any other unintended worldly benefit that comes for doing that worship, is not a problem) so sir i only wanted to know that does the action of “knowing any religious information” in and of itself a “deeni/ibadat ka kam” which cannot be done for any other primary aim, OR it is just like the action of “telling or teaching the information about Islam”, in which the if the notion is of pleasing Allah and doing it for his sake (then it becomes a deeni haisyat act. the violation of which would be when someone presents the show or display that he is actually spreading that knowledge for Allah’s sake, but internally his aim of doing it is in order to win praise and recognition about him being called a pious man)… and in the other hand the same action of “teaching someone Islamic information” can be done without this notion and if the person charges money over it as a return of service, then it’s allowable. (because he’s charging money for his service and not over his own ibadah, where as in the other case the person wants to earn respect in return for his worship).
@Irfan76 yes sir i understand but if someone fully comes under the warning of hadith then where would his sin lie in the category of the 5 category of prohibition. because if such big warning of hell is given them obviously there must be a prohibition hidden in them, so i wanted to know which one of the 5 category would it belong, if for example a person really does fully fall under the warning of Hadith?
The words of hadith are not Hujjah as they are indirectly quoted, however, the meaning is accepted if it conforms to the Quran and the established Sunnah. In this Hadith, it seems that the pleasure of God and seeking of worldly gains were equally important for the person in question. To test it, one can see, if the worldly reward is minus, then a person would do the same if doing it is the demand of Deen, or not. if yes, then getting worldly benefits through a religious service is secondary and thus fine.
@Irfan76 sir how would have this example been a rival to God? i mean if what thing was done in some way would it have made a rival to God situation? if you can tell in example that would helpful
If one is ready to twist or sell one’s opinion dishonestly to gain the worldly benefit, forsaking what is really told in Deen, here the worldly benefit is rival to God, this is what is sometimes condemned as Dunya in Quran and Hadith literature.
