Knowledge teaches love. So if you’re not loving you’re not learning.

 

remember Me; I will remember you. And thank Me, and never be ungrateful.

 

Muhammad's ﷺ Prophecy is a Great Bounty from Allah

Allah reminds His believing servants with what He has endowed them with by sending Muhammad ﷺ as a Messenger to them, reciting to them Allah's clear Ayat and purifying and cleansing them from the worst types of behavior, the ills of the souls and the acts of Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic era). The Messenger also takes them away from the darkness (of disbelief) to the light (of faith) and teaches them the Book, the Qur'an, and the Hikmah (i.e., the wisdom), which is his Sunnah. He also teaches them what they knew not. During the time of Jahiliyyah, they used to utter foolish statements. Later on, and with the blessing of the Prophet's Message and the goodness of his prophecy, they were elevated to the status of the Awliya' (loyal friends of Allah) and the rank of the scholars. Hence, they acquired the deepest knowledge among the people, the most pious hearts, and the most truthful tongues. Allah said:

لَقَدْ مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْمُؤمِنِينَ إِذْ بَعَثَ فِيهِمْ رَسُولاً مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ يَتْلُواْ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ

(Indeed, Allah conferred a great favor on the believers when He sent among them a Messenger (Muhammad ) from among themselves, reciting unto them His verses (the Qur'an), and purifying them (from sins).) (3:164)

Allah also criticized those who did not give this bounty its due consideration, when He said:

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ بَدَّلُواْ نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ كُفْرًا وَأَحَلُّواْ قَوْمَهُمْ دَارَ الْبَوَارِ

(Have you not seen those who have changed the favors of Allah into disbelief (by denying Prophet Muhammad ) and his Message of Islam), and caused their people to dwell in the house of destruction) (14:28)

Ibn `Abbas commented, "Allah's favor means Muhammad." Therefore, Allah has commanded the believers to affirm this favor and to appreciate it by thanking and remembering Him:

فَاذْكُرُونِى أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَاشْكُرُواْ لِي وَلاَ تَكْفُرُونِ

(Therefore, remember Me. I will remember you, and be grateful to Me, and never be ungrateful to Me.)

Mujahid said that Allah's statement:

كَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيكُمْ رَسُولاً مِّنْكُمْ

(Similarly (to complete My favor on you), We have sent among you a Messenger (Muhammad ) of your own,)

means: Therefore, remember Me in gratitude to My favor.

Al-Hasan Al-Basri commented about Allah's statement:

فَاذْكُرُونِى أَذْكُرْكُمْ

(Therefore remember Me. I will remember you), "Remember Me regarding what I have commanded you and I will remember you regarding what I have compelled Myself to do for your benefit (i.e., His rewards and forgiveness)."

An authentic Hadith states:

«يَقُولُ اللهُ تَعَالَى: مَنْ ذَكَرَنِي فِي نَفْسِهِ ذَكَرْتُهُ فِي نَفْسِي وَمَنْ ذَكَرَنِي فِي مَلَأٍ ذَكَرْتُهُ فِي مَلَأٍ خَيْرٍ مِنْه»

(Allah the Exalted said, `Whoever mentions Me to himself, then I will mention him to Myself; and whoever mentions Me in a gathering, I will mention him in a better gathering.)'

Imam Ahmad reported that Anas narrated that Allah's Messenger ﷺ said:

«قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، إِنْ ذَكَرْتَنِي فِي نَفْسِكَ ذَكَرْتُك فِي نَفْسِي، إِنْ ذَكَرْتَنِي فِي مَلَإٍ ذكَرْتُكَ فِي مَلَإٍ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ أَوْ قَالَ: فِي مَلَإٍ خَيْرٍ مِنْهُ وَإِنْ دَنَوْتَ مِنِّي شِبْرًا دَنَوْتُ مِنْكَ ذِرَاعًا، وَإِنْ دَنَوْتَ مِنِّي ذِرَاعًا دَنَوْتُ مِنْكَ بَاعًا، وَإنْ أَتَيْتَنِي تَمْشِي أَتَيْتُكَ هَرْوَلَة»

(Allah the Exalted said, `O son of Adam! If you mention Me to yourself, I will mention you to Myself. If you mention Me in a gathering, I will mention you in a gathering of the angels (or said in a better gathering). If you draw closer to Me by a hand span, I will draw closer to you by forearm's length. If you draw closer to Me by a forearm's length, I will draw closer to you by an arm's length. And if you come to Me walking, I will come to you running).

Its chain is Sahih, it was recorded by Al-Bukhari. Allah said:

وَاشْكُرُواْ لِي وَلاَ تَكْفُرُونِ

(...and be grateful to Me (for My countless favors on you) and never be ungrateful to Me.)

In this Ayah, Allah commands that He be thanked and appreciated, and promises even more rewards for thanking Him. Allah said in another Ayah:

وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ وَلَئِن كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِى لَشَدِيدٌ

(And (remember) when your Lord proclaimed: "If you give thanks (by accepting faith and worshipping none but Allah), I will give you more (of My blessings); but if you are thankless (i.e., disbelievers), verily, My punishment is indeed severe.)

Abu Raja' Al-`Utaridi said: `Imran bin Husayn came by us once wearing a nice silken garment that we never saw him wear before or afterwards. He said, "Allah's Messenger ﷺ said:

«مَنْ أَنْعَمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ نِعْمَةً فَإِنَّ اللهَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَرَى أَثَرَ نِعْمَتِهِ عَلَى خَلْقِه»

، وَقَالَ رَوْحٌ مَرَّةً:

«عَلَى عَبْدِه»

(Those whom Allah has favored with a bounty, then Allah likes to see the effect of His bounty on His creation), or he said, "on His servant" - according to Ruh (one of the narrators of the Hadith).

Quran 3:173

 

Those who were warned, “Your enemies have mobilized their forces against you, so fear them,” the warning only made them grow stronger in faith and they replied, “Allah ˹alone˺ is sufficient ˹as an aid˺ for us and ˹He˺ is the best Protector.”

Quran 3:173

Allah will never give you a problem without a solution.

 

Forgive other as quickly as you expect ALLAH [swt] to give you.

Dua for student

 

Allahumma inni as'aluka 'Ilman naafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbalan

O Allah, I ask you for knowledge that is of benefit, a good provision and deeds that will be accepted.

  [Ibn Majah and others]

The Prophet (pbuh) read this dua after Fajr Salah.

In this dua, we ask Allah for three things;

• knowledge that is beneficial
• deeds that will be accepted
• provision that is pure

1. O Allah, Indeed I ask you (for) knowledge (which is) beneficial

As students of Quran, we continuously struggle to gain knowledge, revising for long hours, juggling house duties, shopping, cleaning, travelling to classes, the sacrifice of our time including the inner battle with our nafs.  After all this struggle, what we want is knowledge that will be beneficial to our lives.  It would be a waste of time, energy and effort if, after all the studying and long hours it does not benefit us.

There are some who do not benefit.  This could be someone who studies just for the sake of it.  There may be some who will study and learn just because it is popular to do so, or they don’t have anything else to do.  They may study a subject but never use the knowledge.  If they are not applying and putting into practice what they have studied, then there is no benefit, they gain no change in their life, or actions, deeds, or in dealing with others.

True knowledge

It could also be that their learning is self-satisfying meaning, they are only focused on seeking knowledge for themselves. We want the knowledge not just to benefit ourselves but also everyone around us.  In our homes, neighbourhood, at work, even if it's someone we meet just once.  The knowledge we gain must be shared with others in order for there to be any kind of true benefit. True knowledge is the knowledge that has been attained and then used, whether it be for the Dunya or the deen. When you say this dua, make the intention to benefit humanity through whatever you are learning.

2. And provisions that are pure 

In this dua, we also ask for good provisions. We should use our knowledge to seek provisions that are tayyib, pure, good and lawful.  If your provisions are not halal, then how will your actions be?  If your money is haram then your duas will not be accepted, your worship is not accepted, which will affect your character, your abilities and then this becomes a barrier to any beneficial knowledge, so always make dua for pure and halal provisions.  We should make sure we learn all the conditions for making dua in order for them to be accepted.  I highly recommend the book, Du'a Weapon of the Believer if you are serious about your duas and want to get the most out of them.  

3. And deeds that will be accepted

“So whoever hopes for the Meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord” [al-Kahf 18:110]

There are two main conditions that all believers must apply in order for their deeds to be accepted:

1. The sincerity of intention in your words and actions for the sake of Allah alone.
2. Actions are in accordance with the laws of the Quran and Sunnah.

After studying hard and gaining the knowledge the next step is to implement what we have learned. We want our actions to be accepted otherwise there is no benefit.

Imagine doing your assignment, we hand it in and the teacher says no and rejects it. When taking our assignments and tests, we have to follow certain conditions; Name at the top of the test paper with the date, only use a blue pen etc.  If these instructions are not met the test is not accepted.  Just like there are rules that we have to follow throughout our lives, and if we don’t then there are consequences.

MIND: Situation is not Good. Heart: Don't worry ALLAH [SWT] Knows.

MIND:Situation is not Good
