15 Virtues of Gaining Knowledge in Islam

Science is an understanding acquired by man through a discovery or research that is structured systematically and can be tested through several specific methods, and can be utilized for human life. Science is the main human key in living life on earth.

Conscious or not, everything we do in everyday life can not be separated from science. We need understanding to pass an action is not it? That is the basic function of science.

By tying to a science, a person is able to do things that are considered beneficial for himself and others with the implementation (application) of knowledge owned. Read more about Law of Abandoning Fasting Intentionally

4.      Raising Human Degrees

Degree or level of human will be lifted with knowledge or knowledge owned. Whether in God’s eyes or in the eyes of fellow human beings, the man of knowledge always receives a good reverence.

5.      Precious Things Apart from Treasures

In this life man assumes that wealth and wealth are the two most valuable things. Then is there anything else that has more value than property and wealth?

[AdSense-A] The answer is certainly there. What is the thing that has more value and the most precious on earth besides science? Abundant wealth and wealth will make a person try to keep the property is not lost. Unlike the science that is able to keep the human self and can bring wealth.

“And likewise among humans, the living creatures are animate, and the animals are of varying color and kind. Among the servants of God who fear Him is only the scholars. Verily, Allah is Mighty, Oft-Forgiving.”

In Shahihul Jam Al Albani it says:

“Science is the legacy of the Prophets, and the Prophets do not inherit dirhams or gold, but they pass on knowledge. Whosoever takes it then he has taken many parts. “

8.      The man of knowledge is aligned with the angels

10.  Teaching one chapter of the Qur’an is better than the prayer 100 rakaat.

From Abi Dzarrin, the Prophet (s) said:

It means:

“O Abaa Dzarrin, indeed you go and teach a chapter from kitabullah, it is better for you than you pray 100 congregation and indeed you go and teach a chapter of science, practiced or not, it is better for you than you pray thousand rakaat “.

11.  The man of knowledge is greater in virtue than a thousand martyrs.

Prophet’s Word:

Meaning:

“Goodness in the world and in the Hereafter along with science and glory in the world and in the Hereafter also with knowledge. And a righteous man is greater in virtue or service to Allah than a thousand martyrs “.

12.  Sitting on the side of the scholars is very favored by Allah SWT

The Prophet (s) said:

Meaning:

“Sitting one hour by the clerics more I like than a thousand years worship”.

The virtue of the wise man is above the virtue of the one who is the expert of worship.

The Prophet said:

It means:

“The virtue of the pious person above the worshiper is like my virtue above the lowest among you.”
