I hope evryone is doing well. the Prophet, may peace and blessings be upon him, emphasized the importance of education and seeking knowledge.When seeking wordly knowledge (for eg. like engineering and medecine), Will we get the equivalent blessings and reward as that of seeking knowledge about the deen?
Do all those hadith about education actually refer to education of the deen, or just education regarding both the deen and duniya?
what if we seek worldy knowledge with the intention of helping our ummah and ultimately seeking Allah's pleasure? will we get reward for that?
And what is the ruling regarding those who seek worldy knowledge to become 'big people' in society? I do know this is forbidden when Islamic knowledge is concerned.
Far from it, I'm complimenting you. That is a very wise statement. Simple, yet important and to the point.
Yes, this is important, and a problem amongst our community and nearly other parts of the world, I am sure you have already deduced that, we need ISLAMIC revival more than ever, and something I long for.
i just discovered these lectures on 'knowledge'. i heard the first two.. they opened my eyes to the importance of studying the deen.Alhumdulillah.i highly recommend the first two.
What most surprised me in the lecture i heard.. is that the scholar mentions that ONLY the people of knowledge have taqwa. Incredible. think about it. Allah won't send you taqwa, just like that.. taqwa depends upon our effort, and the more knowledege,the more taqwa.. in fact the Prophet s.a.w.s is reported to have said that the one who is knowledgable and the one who is not, is the likeliness of the full moon and of the stars!!!! So you can see the emphasis here.

Definitely.when regarding deen, its a serious issue.i was confused whether this was allowable in matters of knowledge concerning this world.. i came across this hadith.
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 124:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet had a she camel called Al Adba which could not be excelled in a race. (Humaid, a sub-narrator said, "Or could hardly be excelled.") Once a bedouin came riding a camel below six years of age which surpasses it (i.e. Al'Adba) in the race. The Muslims felt it so much that the Prophet noticed their distress. He then said, "It is Allah's Law that He brings down whatever rises high in the world."
We must maintain our humility, and never forget that however good we may be, even in matters of kindness and sincerity, there is someone more just and more kind,above the heavens. How can we show-off when He is watching us?
