He takes his path through the jungle of

00:00:03 --> 00:00:03

darkness.

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

Then he sees that there is a cut

00:00:07 --> 00:00:10

here, there is a path here, there is

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

a bed here, I have to walk carefully

00:00:12 --> 00:00:13

here.

00:00:13 --> 00:00:14

It is because of that light.

00:00:15 --> 00:00:17

When Allah the Almighty describes the Qur'an,

00:00:19 --> 00:00:27

He says, I have given you the Qur

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

'an and the Shariah so that you may

00:00:30 --> 00:00:34

bring people out of ignorance and darkness and

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

come to light.

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

So knowledge is light.

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

Knowledge is light.

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

It is the light of Allah the Almighty.

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

It gives light to life.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

It gives direction to life.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:50

How to live life.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:52

Consider this as an example.

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

You see the age of ignorance.

00:00:56 --> 00:00:59

The age of ignorance between the Prophet and

00:00:59 --> 00:01:02

Jesus is 600 years.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

It is called the age of ignorance.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:12

That was the worst time in the world.

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

Because people did not care about Allah the

00:01:15 --> 00:01:15

Almighty.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

They used to kill their own daughters.

00:01:23 --> 00:01:28

The Qur'an says that when they hear

00:01:28 --> 00:01:32

the good news of a daughter, when a

00:01:32 --> 00:01:36

daughter was born in their time, they used

00:01:36 --> 00:01:39

to feel ashamed and feel ashamed.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:45

They even buried their own daughter alive.

00:01:46 --> 00:01:47

We are talking about that time.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:53

Where alcoholism and other types of sins were

00:01:53 --> 00:02:03

committed, Jafar said to Najashi, O King, we

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

were a people of ignorance.

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

We worship idols and eat the dead.

00:02:09 --> 00:02:12

We eat the living.

00:02:14 --> 00:02:20

O King, O King, we used to worship

00:02:20 --> 00:02:23

an idol in the morning.

00:02:23 --> 00:02:26

And in the evening, we used to bow

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27

down to it and perform our worship.

00:02:29 --> 00:02:33

And we used to eat the dead body

00:02:33 --> 00:02:33

lying on the road.

00:02:37 --> 00:02:40

And one person used to praise the other

00:02:40 --> 00:02:40

person.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:47

And the weak person in the society had

00:02:47 --> 00:02:48

no value.

00:02:49 --> 00:02:52

The strong and powerful person used to oppress

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

the weak.

00:02:56 --> 00:02:57

And they used to praise each other.

00:03:00 --> 00:03:05

In this dark night, the Messenger of Allah

00:03:05 --> 00:03:10

was sent to us as a light.

00:03:10 --> 00:03:13

And he was sent to us as a

00:03:13 --> 00:03:14

mercy.

00:03:15 --> 00:03:19

And when the Prophet came, he gave the

00:03:19 --> 00:03:19

message of Tawheed.

00:03:20 --> 00:03:21

That believe in one Allah.

00:03:22 --> 00:03:24

And do not bow down in front of

00:03:24 --> 00:03:24

anyone.

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26

And ask from Allah.

00:03:27 --> 00:03:29

And make your connection with Allah.

00:03:30 --> 00:03:34

So when the Prophet came, our beliefs were

00:03:34 --> 00:03:34

corrected.

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36

Our worship was corrected.

00:03:36 --> 00:03:38

Our relations were corrected.

00:03:38 --> 00:03:39

Our society was corrected.

00:03:40 --> 00:03:45

All these aspects of life were corrected.

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

Because of the light of this knowledge.

00:03:53 --> 00:03:56

My purpose is to say that knowledge is

00:03:56 --> 00:03:56

light.

00:03:56 --> 00:04:00

It changes the direction of your life.

00:04:00 --> 00:04:02

It removes your own ignorance.

00:04:04 --> 00:04:07

As long as we live with the Qur

00:04:07 --> 00:04:10

'an, and have a connection with knowledge, our

00:04:10 --> 00:04:11

connection will be with Allah.

00:04:12 --> 00:04:15

Knowledge is a means of proximity.

00:04:15 --> 00:04:22

Allah says, Through the knowledge of Allah, people

00:04:22 --> 00:04:22

reach Allah.

00:04:23 --> 00:04:26

Through the blessing of knowledge, Allah brought us

00:04:26 --> 00:04:32

out of darkness and brought us to light.

00:04:33 --> 00:04:34

Knowledge is light.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:39

Otherwise, our life is like a traveler who

00:04:39 --> 00:04:43

is wandering in the jungle without any light.

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46

And he does not know whether to go

00:04:46 --> 00:04:51

straight, right or left, forward or backward.

00:04:52 --> 00:04:55

Without knowledge, there is no connection in our

00:04:55 --> 00:04:55

life.

00:04:55 --> 00:04:57

And as long as there is knowledge, till

00:04:57 --> 00:05:06

the end of time, and when it is

00:05:06 --> 00:05:07

mentioned in the hadith that the Qur'an

00:05:07 --> 00:05:10

will come from the head and will recommend

00:05:10 --> 00:05:14

us, then this knowledge will not only influence

00:05:14 --> 00:05:15

the world.

00:05:16 --> 00:05:19

This knowledge, along with the world, is spending

00:05:19 --> 00:05:28

its money on education and all the knowledge

00:05:28 --> 00:05:29

of goodness.

00:05:29 --> 00:05:34

It is spending its money on education and

00:05:34 --> 00:05:34

all the knowledge of goodness.

00:05:35 --> 00:05:40

So that you can go to any other

00:05:40 --> 00:05:41

entertainment.

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

At the right time, apply the knowledge of

00:05:49 --> 00:05:54

Shariah and bring people out of darkness and

00:05:54 --> 00:05:55

give them mercy.

00:06:04 --> 00:06:06

And this will be useful.

00:06:14 --> 00:06:15

Your fame will be useful.

00:06:18 --> 00:06:22

And whatever charity you have done, whatever goodness

00:06:22 --> 00:06:25

you have done, and whatever wealth you have

00:06:25 --> 00:06:25

earned,
