Suhaib Webb – Live Your Learning Sura alFatiha & The Application of Learning

We know that learning is very, very important.

The prophet

that knowledge comes by learning. And one of

the most important things I know when I

embraced,

Islam

and one of the things I can encourage

people to do is to learn.

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the only thing he,

ordered the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam to

seek

an increase in

his knowledge.

My lord increased me in knowledge.

And knowledge is very important because it tempers

sometimes the excitement or the enthusiasm that comes

with newfound

faith or a rebirth of faith, if you

will, in the lives

of a person. And the way of this

knowledge is to study with the shuk.

And Imam Al Ghazari identifies

after knowledge being an obstacle,

how to acquire it, how to learn it

correctly, how to implement it, how to live

it,

Because we know that knowledge is according to

Surat al Fatiha is going to designate us

in 1 of 2 or 3 categories.

Those who Allah has had favors, those who

earned Allah's anger, those who've gone astray.

And those who Allah has favored and amta'alayhim

are those who know and act on what

they know as best they can. And when

they make mistakes, they repent.

And try to fix, as the Quran mentions.

The second are those who know and don't

act on what they know. So they know,

but they don't act on it.

So Allah says

like donkeys with books on their back.

And then finally are those who, like, they

have that excitement and they have the enthusiasm

to learn,

the excitement, enthusiasm to worship, but they don't

wanna learn.

And these are adaaleen.

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says about them in

the Quran

Allah

says Like this

monk lifestyle which they invented, we did not

prescribe it for them. Out of enthusiasm,

out of.

Right,

a slant towards

being more

devout,

they went astray.

We ask Allah to give us success and

to guide us so that we can be

balanced.

Allah says in the Quran, like, establish the

balance

and don't create imbalance.

It's more difficult than it sounds.
