Knowledge can Broadly be Divided into 2 Types — Islamic Knowledge & Knowledge Required by Community

Knowledge can Broadly be Divided into two Types — Islaamic Knowledge and Knowledge Required by the Community. — Dr Zakir Naik

SKLI-6
As I a was saying our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saws) said, it s a Sahih Hadith which is mentioned in Ibn Maajah Hadith no. 224, our beloved Prophet said “Talibul ilmi” “Seeking knowledge” “Faridatun ali kulli Muslim” “is obligatory on every Muslim”.

Seeking knowledge is obligatory on every Muslim, man or woman. Now when we give knowledge to our children we have to see to it that we give them proper knowledge.

Knowledge can be broadly divided into 2 types one is the basic knowledge of Islam and second knowledge what is required by the community. It’s the duty of every parent that he should educate the children with the proper Islamic knowledge. No. 1 most important is Tawheed that believing in one Allah (swt) and we should not associate partners with anyone to Allah (swt). Allah (swt) should not be associated with anyone else. Tawheed no. 1. Then all the pillars which most of us know but we should impart it in the right way to our children about Salaah, about Zakaat, about Hajj, about fasting is very important and but natural knowledge of the Qur’an. This Qur’an is the last and final revelation of Allah (swt) which was reveled to the last and final messenger Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

Yesterday in Bradford I had a talk on ‘Al Qur’an, should it be read with understanding?’ and I told there that the best gift that a parent can give to the child is the Qur’an and make the child understand the Qur’an. Most of us Muslims we teach our children to read Arabic, they can read Arabic but they can’t understand. If we teach them the language of the Qur’an, Arabic as a language that is the best gift you can give and InshaAllah towards the end of my talk I will deal and discuss with that in detail.

The second type of knowledge is the knowledge required by the community. Knowledge which makes a person a doctor, makes a person an Engineer, a Lawyer, a Scientist, an Agriculturist this is too required for the betterment of the community, for the betterment of the society but when we are acquiring the second type of knowledge we should see to it that when we acquire scientific knowledge when we learn about mathematics, geography, history this knowledge should get you closer to Allah (swt), should not take you away from Allah (swt). If this knowledge takes you away from Allah (swt) that knowledge is not correct knowledge, its not correct education. It should bring you closer to Allah (swt).

For example when we learn medicine, we learn how to save the lives of thousands of human beings but in that same medical knowledge when we learn how to do abortion, there are youngsters who are doing Zina and then they want to abort. So using this knowledge for activities which are wrong, we should abstain from that. Abortion for saving the life of the mother if she has a health problem, Islam gives permission.

Otherwise Allah says in Surah Isra ch. no. 17 verse no. 31 and Surah Anam ch. no. 6 verse no. 151 that

“Kill not your children for want of sustenance”

Killing of children is prohibited. So whatever knowledge you acquire, it should be for the betterment of humanity and get you closer to Allah (swt). Whatever moral values you are learning we should see to it that when we put our children in the school that school should up bring your children properly. Imagine if we put our children ...
