Fadl al-Ilm as-Salaf ala Ilm Mun Khalaf (Pt.8): A Comparison Between Beneficial and Non-Beneficial Knowlegde


-The difference between knowing Allaah and knowing the commands of Allaah is that knowing Allah doesn't necessarily mean a person knows what Allah wants from him.

Therefore we must learn what is beneficial knowledge:

-Signs of non-beneficial knowledge:
1. It has no benefit in and of itself or on his actions and manners.
2. It doesn’t distance him from the Dunya.
3. His Dua are not answered.
4. No one benefits from him.

-Signs of beneficial knowledge:
1. They are humble and don’t depend on what they’ve done and learned to think they are secure and have had it accepted – the more they learn the more humble they become.
2. Their Dua is accepted and receive support.
3. They leave the love of the Dunya.
4. Such people have the best of thoughts of Allaah and only get pleased or angered for His Sake.
5. He recognises his own faults and has a clean heart towards others.
6. He is not pleased with praises from people.


End of treatise. 
And Allah Knows best. 
May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon the Messenger, his family and Companions.
