What
Is Beneficial Knowledge?
Ibn
Rajab ( (رحمه اللهsaid: “This knowledge (i.e. of
the religion) leads to two things:
The
first is knowing Allāh and what He deserves regarding
the Beautiful Names and Lofty Attributes and Magnificent Actions; and that
necessitates revering Him, exalting Him, fearing Him, being in awe of Him,
loving Him, having hope in Him, depending on Him, being pleased with His decree
and being patient upon His tests.
The second is knowledge of that which He loves and is
pleased with and what He hates and what
makes Him angry, from beliefs, both apparent and hidden actions and statements.
Therefore this (knowledge) obligates the one
who knows it to rush towards that which Allāh loves and is pleased with,
and (compels him to rush to) staying away from what He hates and makes Him
angry.
So if knowledge produces this for the one who possesses
it, then it is beneficial knowledge.”
