Sister
... often times we come across people around us fighting over the
estate of their parents, sometimes even between two people who were
brothers to fight hostile just because of inheritance. However, have you see them fighting over the legacy of the prophets? Really
if they know, The real legacy of the prophets is much more useful to
them than a legacy of a world treasure that they often fought.
What is the legacy of the Prophet?
Sister .. taukah you what is a legacy of the Prophet?
In a hadith the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,
إن الأنبياء لم يورثوا دينارا ولا درهما إنما ورثوا العلم فمن أخذ به أخذ بحظ وافر
"Verily
the Prophets did not bequeath dinars and dirhams, in fact they just
pass the science, the one who had taken it, then he has taken part a
lot." (Narrated by Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi).
That's the legacy of the prophets, O my sister. They are not a world heritage treasure which often many people contested, but their legacy is science. And to know that science is the science of the prophets passed on Shari'ah of Allah Almighty, and not the other. Science Allah revealed to His Messenger and the information in the form of instructions. Science that it contains praise and adulation for their owners.
There
is a story narrated by Ath-Thabraani in Al Ausath with hasan isnaad
from Abu Hurayrah, that when Abu Hurairah passed a market in the city of
Medina, then he stopped there. He said, "O people in the market, it would hurt you!". They replied: "What, O Abu Hurayrah?!". He said: "There is no legacy of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam is being shared, why are you still here? Why do not you go there take your part? ". They
said: "Where is it?" He said: "In the Masjid." Then people had rushed
to the mosque, while Abu Huraira was still waiting on the market until
the people came back. When they returned to the market Abu Hurayrah asked them: "Why are you back?" They declare: "O Abu Hurairah! We
really have to go to the mosque and we did not see any shared there!
"Abu Huraira then asked them:" Did not you see anyone there? "They
said:" Of course, we saw a group of people who were praying, a group of the
others were reading the Qur'an, and another group is being mentioned
about halal and haram case! "Then Abu Huraira said to them:" Behold the
legacy that Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. "
This
is what is meant by the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam with the
legacy of the prophets, true prophets are not bequeath dinars and
dirhams but actually they pass the science. So every time a servant took part of science that much then he has taken part prophetic heritage with many parts. (Tsamaratul 'Ilmi Al' Amalu)
Primacy of science Sharai (Religious Studies)
If
you have to mention the primacy of science Sharai and its owner, then
indeed we will find so many verses and hadiths that mention of primacy. Among the virtues of science Sharai include:
Science is the legacy of the Prophets
It
is contained in the hadith as mentioned above, that the prophets'
alaihimush-sholaatu respectfully not bequeath dinars and dirhams, but
that they simply inherit science. My
sister ... now we are in the 15th century hijriyyah, if you are a
scientist means you have received an inheritance of Muhammad sallallaahu
'alaihi wa sallam, and this is a greatest virtue. So, do you want, O God blessed sister who may ...
Science is eternal, while the property is perishable (will disappear)
An example is Abu Hurayrah radhiallahu 'anhu, he was among friends who Faqir that he had fallen unconscious due to hunger. But behold, O sister, did not you see his name mentioned much until now? All of that is not due to his wealth, but all of it because of his knowledge. Look, O sister, how science is eternal and the treasure will be exhausted.
Science is the way to heaven
As indicated by the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah radi 'anhu that the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam said
ومن سلك طريقا يلتمس فيه علما, سهل الله له به طريقا إلى الجنة
"Whoever pursuing a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make it easy for him the path to heaven." (Narrated by Muslim)
Science
will not make the tired owner in keeping, because the science is in our
hearts, so that it does not need a special box or a special key to
keeping.
Goodness someone judged from his understanding of his religion
It is mentioned in a hadith of Mu'awiyah radi 'anhu, he said, that the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam said
من يرد الله به خيرا يفقهه فى الدين
"Whoever desired by the goodness of God, then God will make it clear about his religion." (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim).
Science is the light that illuminates the life of a servant
Because the science, a servant would know how should worship his Lord and how to get along with his fellow servant.
My sister ... really so many virtues of science, do not you want to achieve virtue and glory? If so, then haste!
Studied law Sharai
Allah Ta'ala says
فاعلم أنه لا إله إلا الله واستغفر لذنبك
"Know the truth, there is no god worthy of worship but Allah, and ask forgiveness for your sins." (Surah Muhammad: 19)
Almighty Allah also says (meaning),
فلولا نفر من كل فرقة منهم طائفة ليتفقهوا في الدين ولينذروا قومهم إذا رجعوا إليهم لعلهم يحذرون
"We
should have a group of people from each group to memperdalampengetahuan
them about religion and to give warning to his people when he had
returned to them, so that they can maintain themselves." (Surat
At-Tawbah: 122)
The above two verses show that Allah Ta'ala to oblige servants to mengilmui their religion. And no doubt that the glory of religion will remain there while the remaining science and the clergy. As it is explained in a Hadeeth of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam that he said
إن
الله لايقبض العلم انتزاعا ينتزعه من العباد, ولكن يقبض العلم بقبض
العلماء, حتى إذا لم يبق عالما اتخذ الناس رؤوسا جهالا فسئلوا فأفتوا بغير
علم فضلوا و أضلوا
"Verily
Allah does not deprive science (in another narration: not grasping
science) by pulling them from the chests of the clergy, but God will
deprive science by turning off the scholars until none was left no
knowledgeable people. So
that people will appoint ignorant leaders, then they asked him and he
too gives fatwa without knowledge, then they (the leaders) is misguided
and misleading. "(Narrated by Bukhari). Indeed
Islam is not maintained except for the help, grace and favor of Allah
Ta'ala and with sincerity because the companions in keeping the science
that has been passed by the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam to
them. (Dhoruurah At-tafaqquh fid-deen)
The legal scholars studied Sharai divide into two kifayah and fard fard 'ain. Kifayah fard ie if there are people who have studied the law to be sunnah for others. While fard 'ayn is the science that must be learned by everyone islam. Limits a convicted sciences fard 'ayn is the science that could cause someone creed invalid unless he understands the science. Such knowledge of the meaning of the creed, the science of the nature of Tawheed, knowledge about the nature of faith. In
addition it includes also the science that include mandatory worship
will he run or will he do mu'amalah, then in this situation he must know
how to perform the worship and also how he carried out the mu'amalah. Like
someone who will do the prayer, then he must learn about the way of
praying that exemplified the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, what
makes prayer acceptable, what prayers and canceling others. Or
another example in the case mu'amalah is if he wants to be a trader,
then he must know the limits of shari'ah trading case, so he did not
fall in trade practices prohibited by religion as containing usury
purchase.
As for the other sciences (which will not be done at the time), then studied the remains convicted kifayah fard. And
it is appropriate that every seeker of knowledge realized that he was
carrying out the practice of law when seeking knowledge kifayah fard for
him to earn rewards while doing the obligatory deeds acquire knowledge.
Therefore,
O my sister ... take heart in the pursuit of knowledge is a noble
religion, because really there is so much virtue and glory ...
Almighty Allaah knows best bish Showwab
