By Shaykh Sa’d bin Naasir ash-Shithree [May Allaah
Preserve him]
The true scholar is one who calls the people to remember the
Hereafter and that his call is not connected to worldly gain. This is because
he instils in the people that the true life is the life of the Hereafter.
The scholar is the one who sticks to the texts therefore you
will not find him talk unless he brings proof from the Kitaab or the Sunnah.
The true scholar is also one who looks to find betterment for
the people, he wants good for the people and he is sensitive to people’s needs.The true scholar is one who connects all his needs and all affairs to Allaah, the Most High, Alone. He knows that Allaah Alone has the Decree and the ability to sustain the world that he lives in, His is the Power and thus he becomes the Master for this slave.
