Assim Al-Hakeem – What does Islam say about Worldly education

			I
		

			always
		

			says, What does Islam say about worldly education? Because some of my friends say that no need to
study because none of your education will be used in akhira in the Hereafter, may Allah save you and
your family and mean always.
		

			What you have heard from your friends,
		

			is what all
		

			failures say, those who
		

			are complete failures,
		

			those who have no contribution
		

			to the society.
		

			This is what they usually justify their laziness
		

			with
		

			knowledge is divided into two types, Islamic knowledge and other than Islamic knowledge.
		

			So, I will not speak about Islamic knowledge
		

			other than Islamic knowledge is divided into two types as well.
		

			halal and haram
		

			as for haraam, knowledge, knowledge of
		

			shore city, this is knowledge, you learn, you implement, but you enter *, because of that,
knowledge of astrology, and the impact of this of the stars on our lives and how they can tell the
future with this is also blasphemous, and Cofer knowledge of what they call beautiful arts
		

			sculpturing, making statues.
		

			The most severely punished in * are those who make and imitate the creation of Allah.
		

			Those who make sculptures, portraits, they draw
		

			beautiful art such as music, ballet, dancing, acting, all of this is haram knowledge. Though it's
knowledge, you study you get a BA.
		

			And then we have the halaal and permissible knowledge,
		

			such as medicine, engineering, physics, mathematics, chemistry, all these Applied Science sciences,
as they call them, or others that are similar to that.
		

			Their claim that such sciences will not benefit you, and accurate in the Hereafter, is not entirely
correct. On the contrary,
		

			these are communal obligation.
		

			If we have a village or a country, there are all PhD holders and they're all professors and doctors,
in fact, in our Theda in Sharia in Hadeeth, and also all Islamic sciences, this is
		

			utopia. This is extremely fine and great
		

			if they fail to produce one medical doctor, one civil engineer to run their city and check the
construction of buildings. One architect, one
		

			mathematician to teach the kids and the students mathematics in the University at school, if they
fail to produce someone to full a to fill this gap in the society, the whole village or city or town
would be sinful
		

			because they failed in this communal obligation.
		

			Eliza did not tell all of us to become scholars of Islam.
		

			Allah says in the Quran
		

			and it is not for the believers to go forth to battle all at once. For there should separate from
every division of them a group remaining to obtain understanding in the religion
		

			and warn their people when they return to them that they might be cautious. Chapter nine, verse 122.
What does this mean? It means that even at times of war, there should remain behind. People have
knowledge, to learn, to acquire Islamic knowledge, and to warn their people when they come back with
things that are halal and haram, and be able to advise them.
		

			This is a communal obligation.
		

			So to claim that we don't need engineers, or medical doctors, or police officers, or administrators
to run the country, this is absurd. And as I said earlier, this is the justification of least lazy
people. Now, having said that, a medical doctor
		

			is not prohibited to become a scholar of Islam as as well. And I know personally, a lot of medical
doctors, engineers, airline pilots, administrators,
		

			lawyers, who are knowledgeable in Islam, and Islamic sciences. So there's
		

			no real segregation. And we don't have men of the Lord.
		

			Like monks or priests that have nothing to do but to possess knowledge of the religion and control
the community. No, we don't have this. They're all mixed. You can have someone who's a medical
doctor and an imam of the masjid.
		

			And who gives fatwas,
		

			you can have someone who's an industrial engineer who does this and write books about Islam.
		

			Because he studied Islam, he also learned from great scholars of Islam and contribute to the
process. So what they're saying to you is totally bogus, and not entirely true.
