			We know that learning is very, very important.
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:03
			The prophet
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			that knowledge comes by learning. And one of
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			the most important things I know when I
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			embraced,
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			Islam
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			and one of the things I can encourage
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			people to do is to learn.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the only thing he,
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			ordered the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam to
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:24
			seek
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			an increase in
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:26
			his knowledge.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			My lord increased me in knowledge.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			And knowledge is very important because it tempers
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:39
			sometimes the excitement or the enthusiasm that comes
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:39
			with newfound
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			faith or a rebirth of faith, if you
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			will, in the lives
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			of a person. And the way of this
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			knowledge is to study with the shuk.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			And Imam Al Ghazari identifies
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			after knowledge being an obstacle,
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			how to acquire it, how to learn it
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			correctly, how to implement it, how to live
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:58
			it,
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			Because we know that knowledge is according to
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			Surat al Fatiha is going to designate us
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			in 1 of 2 or 3 categories.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			Those who Allah has had favors, those who
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			earned Allah's anger, those who've gone astray.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			And those who Allah has favored and amta'alayhim
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			are those who know and act on what
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19
			they know as best they can. And when
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			they make mistakes, they repent.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			And try to fix, as the Quran mentions.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			The second are those who know and don't
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			act on what they know. So they know,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			but they don't act on it.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			So Allah says
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			like donkeys with books on their back.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			And then finally are those who, like, they
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			have that excitement and they have the enthusiasm
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:42
			to learn,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			the excitement, enthusiasm to worship, but they don't
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			wanna learn.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			And these are adaaleen.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says about them in
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			the Quran
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			Allah
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			says Like this
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:09
			monk lifestyle which they invented, we did not
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			prescribe it for them. Out of enthusiasm,
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:12
			out of.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:13
			Right,
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			a slant towards
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			being more
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			devout,
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			they went astray.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			We ask Allah to give us success and
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			to guide us so that we can be
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			balanced.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:35
			Allah says in the Quran, like, establish the
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:35
			balance
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			and don't create imbalance.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			It's more difficult than it sounds.
