any use of the knowledge that we acquire in this world in the Accra

00:00:21 --> 00:00:21

the knowledge

00:00:23 --> 00:00:27

can broadly be classified into two categories. The first is the

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

spiritual knowledge, the knowledge of the D.

00:00:31 --> 00:00:32

In this,

00:00:33 --> 00:00:38

there is some part of it that is compulsory for you to gain for

00:00:38 --> 00:00:42

example, how to offer Salah regarding fasting regarding giving

00:00:42 --> 00:00:42

circa

00:00:44 --> 00:00:47

So, you need to know this knowledge regarding the Ibadat

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

regarding worshipping Allah subhanaw taala

00:00:52 --> 00:00:56

The second category is the worldly knowledge.

00:00:57 --> 00:01:01

The worldly knowledge can broadly be classified into three more

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02

categories.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:07

The first is the knowledge that will take you away from Allah

00:01:07 --> 00:01:12

subhanaw taala for example, learning music, this knowledge it

00:01:12 --> 00:01:16

is prohibited for you to learn because it will take you away from

00:01:16 --> 00:01:19

the deen it will take you away from Allah subhanaw taala.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:27

The second category, in the worldly knowledge, it is the

00:01:27 --> 00:01:32

knowledge that neither takes you away from Allah subhanaw taala nor

00:01:32 --> 00:01:37

get you closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala and this it is mobile, it

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

is optional.

00:01:40 --> 00:01:43

If you get it you will not get reward from Allah subhanaw taala

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

if you leave it, you will not be sinful.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:51

And the third category in the worldly knowledge, it is the

00:01:51 --> 00:01:55

knowledge that gets you closer to Allah subhanaw taala for example,

00:01:56 --> 00:02:02

you learn science in order to do Dawa to the non Muslims and to

00:02:02 --> 00:02:05

prove to them mentioning the scientific points that are

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

mentioned in the Glorious Quran.

00:02:08 --> 00:02:12

So, if you learn science with this intention, inshallah you will be

00:02:12 --> 00:02:12

rewarded.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:19

So, the spiritual knowledge, it will help you in the Accra

00:02:21 --> 00:02:25

the worldly knowledge, if it takes you away from Allah subhanaw taala

00:02:25 --> 00:02:26

it will not help you in darker

00:02:27 --> 00:02:32

if it gets you closer to Allah subhanaw taala than inshallah this

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35

worldly knowledge it will help you in the Accra and you will be

00:02:35 --> 00:02:39

00:02:39 --> 00:02:43

closer to Allah subhanaw taala nor it takes you away from Allah

00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
