Allah said: 'And we have made the Qur'an easy to remember, is there anyone who will remember it'' And the Messenger said: 'The world and what is within it is cursed except for the rememberance of Allah and what is like it. A scholar and a student.' Listen Oh people. Our Prophet , the one who didn't speak from his desires but rather by revelation.The one who fulfilled his trust, advised the Ummah and struggled for Allah a true struggle has informed us that the world and what is within it is cursed, all of it. For verily when a man strives for nobility or authority or land and other than this his striving is in futility and misguidance. For verily many waste their time and their lives chasing behind this world with it and what is within it being cursed. And as for the one who spends his time seeking beneficial knowledge and good deeds then Allah doesn't render futile the actions of those who do good. And know Oh Muslims that this knowledge is the religion. It is that which guides to the straight path and saves us from the path of those who have earned Allah's wrath and those who are astray. As for those who have earned Allah's wrath then they are the Jews who were given knowledge but it didn't benefit them. And as for the ones who are astray they are the Christians who act without knowledge. For it is upon us Oh Muslims to act upon our knowledge.For knowledge is like a tree and actions are like the fruit. And there is no use for a tree that bears no fruit. Second Khutbah: In a Hadeeth narrated in Sunan Tirmidhi, the Prophet said: Whomsoever goes upon a way seeking knowledge, Allah will make it easy for him to go to the paradise. And a people do not congregate in the houses of Allah to read the book of Allah and learn it between themselves except that peace descends upon them, mercy encompasses them, the angels cover them and Allah remembers them with those who are in his company.' For whomsoever wishes to enter Jannah easily then it is upon him to seek knowledge, And whomsoever wants that peace descends upon him, and it is something that many try to find but they are unable to find it, upon him is knowledge, and if one wishes for Allah's mercy then upon him is knowledge, and whomsoever wants to be in the company of the angels then upon him is knowledge, and whomsoever wishes that Allah mentions him in his company then upon him is knowledge and the circles of knowledge in the Masjid.And beware, beware of turning away from knowledge and the circles of knowledge. Allah has said: And whomsoever turns away from my remember then he has a life of sadness and we bring him out on the day of judgement blind.' And Allah said: 'And who is more oppresive than the one who is reminded about the signs of Allah and turns away from it.'For verily turning away from knowledge blinds the hearts that are within the chests. And it brings about sadness for him in the dunya and the aakhira. It also destroys him and drowns him in the darknesses of shirk, innovation and sin. For how many have turned away from knowledge and they are unable to keep away from these three things' We ask why is it that they cannot have safety from these things' It is because they deserve the anger of Allah by leaving their religion (which is knowledge). And Imam Al Bukhari has narrated that the Prophet saw three people who came to his talk. One of them saw a space then sat, the other sat behind the circle and the last one turned away. Then the Prophet said: 'Should I give you news about these three, as for the first he leaned to Allah so Allah leaned to him, as for the second he was shy so Allah was shy from him and as for the third he turned away therefore Allah turned away from him.'Shaikh Rabee' said: It is upon you to place emphasis on your time. It is compulsory for a Salafi (student of knowledge) to not waste his time.
