Sh Abdur
Razzaaq said: We Must Acquire Ilm Everyday, Even a Little!
The first Surah [Al-Alaq] revealed to the Prophet began with Ilm – [Iqrah-read] & ends with Usjud [prostrate], because reading & learning has to precede deeds, so that a person learns how to worship Allaah.
Umar Bin Abdil Azeez said, “Whoever worships Allaah without Ilm, then what he’ll corrupt will be more than what he rectifies.” This is why Ilm should be acquired first, so that the worship of a person, his statements & deeds are based on clear-sightedness & guidance.
The Prophet used to supplicate every morning – after Fajr prayer – saying:
اللهم اني اسألك علما نافعا ورزقا طيبا وعملا متقبلا
O Allaah! Indeed, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, good [or pure] provision and deeds that are accepted.
So, the Prophet asked for Ilm first before rizq, because there is halaal, haraam, good & filthy rizq, for how can one differentiate between halaal, haraam, good & filthy rizq without Ilm?! Ilm is also what distinguish between righteous deeds & deeds that are not Righteous.
Also from that which is benefited from this supplication is that a Muslim should acquire a portion of Ilm everyday, because the Prophet used to ask for beneficial Ilm everyday. Therefore, do acquire some knowledge everyday even if it is a little.
