SIX FUNDAMENTALS

To leave home for the sake of knowledge

Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) has said, “Whoever left his home for the sake of knowledge (about the Holy Qur’aan and Islam), he will be honoured as one, who has entirely devoted himself to Allah”.

The service and help for a student of Islam

It has been mentioned in a hadith, that Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) while addressing his followers said, “Undoubtedly, the coming generation will follow you, for you have followed me. After me people will come to you from remote places to attain the knowledge of Islam. So, when they visit you, it is my will, that you should entertain them well”. That is, when the student of  Islam visit you, serve them properly, sit in their society, and be courteous to them.

The use of scholarly meetings

Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) says in a hadith, “when certain people gather together in the House of Allah (that is a masjid), and they read the Book of Allah (i.e., the Holy Qur’aan) to one another, they are blessed with spiritual consolation and Allah’s mercy, the Angels assemble around them, and Allah remembers them among His courtiers (Angels)”.
