Why Islam Values Knowledge So Highly

[@ananasfraise4303]

yeah I’m one of those who never comment, I’m not a student of knowledge yet because I’m right at the beginning of the "journey", I started reading a lot and now that I try to learn arabic and the deen and the quran I see that I have absolutely no free time to do so. I go to work, then to the gym, then sleep. so right now I’m asking Allah to give me my financial independence and of course I’m doing the maximum of what I can to quit my job and start a business bi idnillah, but yeah it somewhat relates to what you’re saying because I’m trying to shift my life towards seeking knowledge even tho I’m not even a baby student of knowledge. barakallahufik for the food for thought

[@johndillinger8056]

AsSalaamu alaikum I started following you because you were in the trenches of Mauritania And then you started your class At that point I was about to give up on Arabic but the way you explained your study method and I ended up joining And now Im finally close to being fluent and you was absolutely right Jazak Allahu Khairan

[@Alphaknu]

Wallahi barakallahu feek I just returned to Mauritania and ngl I didn’t feel like coming back due to the enjoyment I was experiencing in the west. But knowledge comes over everything

[@eleTechnologies]

I listen to videos like this because it’s just like having a brother here to just talk straight up about the journey and the life. I am immersed in a Christian/Catholic society, and videos like this are what I listen to throughout the day. As a revert, the work and focus is tremendous to maintain the straight way. So yes, alhamdulillah, your videos are appreciated.

[@MuhammadAlAndalusi]

Ma sha Allah I appreciate your feedback I can tell through your comment that you have your head over your shoulders and you use social media with intent May Allah bless you

[@hernameisyasin]

Don’t usually comment, but your videos are so real. I was just talking to someone about this the other day. I’ve never heard it put into raw words. May Allah keep us all at those levels of high Iman and surround us with things and people that do that for us.

[@MuhammadAlAndalusi]

Thanks for sharing!! And thanks for your kind words may Allah make us better

I went to do 2 months in turkey. When I came back the andulus premium program has benefitted me so much. I'm memorizing the vocab fast alhumdulila

[@DudeWithDaFood_]

Living in a predominantly non-Muslim environment, I can feel the effects it has on my iman. I’ve been trying to get closer to the deen by studying Shaykh ibn Baz’s books with my teacher and learning Arabic. I also cut off a lot of bad habits like watching tv, listening to music, video games, anime etc. Insha’Allah next year when registrations open again, i’ll apply for the Islamic University of Madinah to seek more knowledge and learn alongside brothers like myself.

[@amine_boukhari]

These types of video are perfect man just a good talk no editing telling about what you think i was feeling like i was in the car with you and you were giving me advices may Allah (azawajal) preserve you and the best advice you gave for real that is applicable is you got to take your soul by the neck just motivations here and there without taking step means nothing we really need to control our nafs to do what please Allah (azawajal)

[@hesyearsago]

Although I never got to travel to a muslim country yet Insha’Allah, I always feel that strong connection with our creator when I choose to live low, social media detoxing, staying away from socializing unless it’s deen related, praying all 5 daily prayers in Masjids and studying the deen away from my bedroom. it’s always hit different when locking into knowledge of Islam is your main focus with no other factors in your mind, I really relate to that unexplainable dopamine a lot

[@MuhammadAlAndalusi]

Unexplainable dopamine for real. It can only be given by Allah sometimes feels like something divine from another world

[@Susu37053]

i do prefer these types of videos, it’s real.. I think they mean like you’re different when you’re talking about money, you’re yourself when you’re talking about ilm you can see the passion and excitement whereas with money is different, you only wanted to make money to seek knowledge that was your initial reason

[@MuhammadAlAndalusi]

I see.. maybe. I appreciate your input

[@Aman-c9i5t]

I don’t usually comment on videos however I resonate with and sense what you are saying from beginning to end. Your desire for seeking knowledge in that raw and authentic way at the same time trying to manage the other aspects of it related to the world. I think at the end of the day, chase what’s in your heart (that pursuit of knowledge in the way you speak about it) because perhaps that is what you are truly meant to seek, and what’s meant to stay will stay, and what leaves you was perhaps extra baggage. Just my thoughts, and Allah knows best. May Allah make it easy for you brother.

[@MuhammadAlAndalusi]

Well i appreciate you making an exception and commenting this time. And I appreciate you sharing your thoughts may Allah bless you

[@UmmSumayyah-o2f]

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullah, Don't really comment much but ustadh it did resonate. I feel like right now I couldn't feel that zeal when you were described sitting with the shuyuukh, I think it's because right now my iman is low. But I know I have that zeal in me. It was very deep when you said to do things that keep your iman high. It makes me think about what steps I have to do now to keep it up. I recently finished a dars with a teacher so I was feeling a bit lost on what to do, but now I'm going to keep myself busy with knowledge and start focusing on my AMAU videos. I know that's what keeps my iman high, but definitely the struggle is sticking with it and grabbing hold of the nafs.

[@bassseye7833]

Salam Alaikum Sheikh, Wallahi I understood and resonated with everything you said right from the beginning before you even explained anything. I don’t think any of us can truly appreciate the importance of ilm. It’s of the very reasons Allah SWT created us. To gain true ilm of him and live accordingly to that knowledge. I was thinking about this same topic just a few days ago on my way to the masjid and this is what I wrote: “Ilm and Amal go hand in hand; one can only improve the other through the other. You can only act through knowing and you can only know through acting. The more you know the more you can act; and the more you act, the more you will know.” I hope this makes sense😂 I’m just trying to say they’re interdependent. That’s why through the acquisition ilm our iman increases which causes us to do things for the sake of Allah that others see as praiseworthy. But to you it’s normal because you’re just acting in accordance with what you know. Sometimes I look at the greatest scholars of Islam and I ask myself “what is it that drove them to sacrifice everything for the sake of pursuing knowledge? Why is it that their livelihood revolved entirely on the pursuit of knowledge?” There are many answers to this question the list of which can prolong forever. I think it’s because ilm is a process of discovery which ignites this level of curiosity within ourselves. It’s like seeing a mystical figure in the distance and you want to know what it is so you walk towards it. And the closer you get to it the more curious you are about the figure. And that’s us with Allah. The more we learn about him the more curious we get and it almost becomes an addiction because true knowledge lies within Allah. That’s why these people are able to completely absolve themselves into this journey and get to that final category which you described at the beginning. But you will only get there by acting in accordance with the knowledge you gain in this process of discovery. Hence why I said ilm and amal are interdependent. One is useless without the other. I feel the same way as you do in the sense that I wish I could get to that level where I can just seclude myself from the rest of the world, go to some far away place to just purely pursue knowledge of Allah and revolve my entire life on this. But I do think that comes about in stages. So just keep acting in accordance to what you learn, and keep learning more so that you may act more in order to build this staircase of curiosity and iman that’ll allow you to get to that level inshallah. Btw I’m a current student at Andalus and I want to say may Allah bless you for all that you are doing. I know your intentions are purely for the sake of Allah and not for the pursuit of money nor fame because I too am on this journey and I know what’s in my heart. It takes one to know one. I ask that Allah make us great friends one day because I understand the type of person you are without even knowing much about you. And that’s the type of people I want to surround myself with so that we may push one another to make this journey easier. This dunya is so worthless and we are surrounded by signs everyday to remind us of that fact. May Allah grant us the ultimate success of Al firdawus. Ameen🤲

[@LL-yb6xl]

This resonated with me a lot. I appreciate the unedited thoughts and communication they seem very sincere and authentic. BaarakAllah feek Also been studying most of my life and pray to never stop, also limited in terms of living situation etc however also been utilising online resources and pushing through as much as possible Ameen.

Amin Jazakumu Allahu khairan

[@SkettFN]

I resonate with this, I believe I fall into the 3rd group of people you mentioned. As i’ve never truly partially or fully dove into seeking knowledge but I have always felt a deep pull towards it and know I will need to at some point inshaAllah.

[@MuhammadAlAndalusi]

Why haven’t you brother?

[@SkettFN]

@@MuhammadAlAndalusi I live with my parents in the West and am focusing on making money online until I will be able to fully sustain myself and maybe do hijra to study. At the moment the best I feel I can do is make money and study a little Quran, Arabic, or hadith here or there.

[@LL-yb6xl]

Also videos about incorporating our children in our quest for knowledge without neglecting their needs as well. More talks about Making Hijra and which places are best and schools for children that are Islamic as well as where the best scholars are to learn with would be really helpful

[@oxcyzzx-oj7cw]

Wa aleykum as salam Wa rahmatullah Wa baraktuhu I feel the same. I have lately really been slacking due to big life choices I’ve had to make. My iman has dropped so much. After about 5 months of intense study (I had summer break) I didn’t want to continue in formal school. I wanted to dedicate my life to Islamic knowledge. I was so heartbroken and distressed about what choice to make. I had to choose formal school so I can have a chance to be admitted to a university in medina. So ان شاء الله I’m going 2 years whilst keeping medina in my mind the whole time. At the same time Allahu a3lam if I get accepted so I can’t give up seeking knowledge in these 2 years even if I will not have the same amount of time as before. If you truly want something you will exert all of your effort.

[@MuhammadAlAndalusi]

Subhana Allah true It reminds me of what I spoke about today in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYW8qoGsq7ajh7Mfeature=shared But I really hope that you find clarity, I never regretted having stopped formal school at 16 may Allah bless you

[@oxcyzzx-oj7cw]

@@MuhammadAlAndalusi SubhanAllah you dropped out? How did that go? How did you go about with your life? Correct me if I’m wrong, but you have studied in Medina? So how did they admit you? Allahu a3lam I struggle a lot mentally staying in secondary school but I asked a lot of people and everyone was telling me to stay because of possible evil consequences that I could be led to if I left. Allahu a3lam, my heart doesn’t feel content with my choice but i don’t see any other way out.

[@whoisbintmohammad]

I’ve been wanting to seek knowledge from when I first discovered it. But I’ve never stayed consistent. I joined Andalus institute but because of fear of failing and inconsistency I felt like I wouldn’t ever succeed. So I just kept putting it off and honestly that built up a lot of guilt. Because leaving off seeking knowledge consistently feels so pointless. Like what is my life’s purpose if it’s not to seek knowledge. But Alhamdullilah through the process Allah has shown me that sins block us from attaining knowledge. So I’m trying to stay on the course of controlling my nafs and forcing it to study because I don’t have any other choice. I can’t just wait for Allah to change my mindset anymore.

[@MuhammadAlAndalusi]

Subhana Allah what we’re here for if it’s not for knowledge, very true. I spoke about this today on this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYW8qoGsq7ajh7Mfeature=shared

[@karimlivingston]

This reminds me of this ayah لَن تَنَالُواْ ٱلۡبِرَّ حَتَّىٰ تُنفِقُواْ مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَۚ وَمَا تُنفِقُواْ مِن شَىۡءٍ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِهِۦ عَلِيمٌ You will never achieve righteousness until you donate some of what you cherish. And whatever you give is certainly well known to Allah.

Wallahi I agree with you, The main goal is to seek knowledge and maintain that lifestyle but I feel like we get stuck in a delusion of needing things before we start knowledge e.g Money. To the point where money now becomes the main goal and once we have money(which would most likely take years) we forget the reason we wanted money in the first place.
