Note: The Virtues Of Seeking Islamic Knowledge

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 While Allah the Almighty grants worldly joys to both people whom He loves and those whom He does not love, He gives understanding of Islam exclusively to those who are beloved to Him. Access to Islamic lectures online, ability to frequently attend religious classes, and enjoying learning about Islam are among the signs that you are loved by Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala.
Being skilled in speaking foreign languages like Korean, being a math genius, having memorized the biographies of renowned scientists or celebrities, receiving the title "professor", or graduating from a top-notch university with a doctorate degree will not benefit at all when one's body is buried in the grave after leaving this temporary world.
Only the ignorant who are unaware of dunya's reality would regard Muslims who enthusiastically study about Islam as "outdated" and "uneducated". If some parents insist on sending their kids to supposedly the best educational institutions, so they can with Allah's Will become proficient employees or medical staff in the future, they should at least encourage them to never stop seeking Islamic knowledge from reliable sources. Authentic knowledge of Islam, accompanied by sincerity, is an essential asset which can guarantee success and contentment in both worlds.

📖 Abu Darda RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said: "Verily, the angels lower their wings for the seeker of knowledge. The inhabitants of the heavens and earth, even the fish in the depths of the sea, seek forgiveness for the scholar. The virtue of the scholar over the worshiper is like the superiority of the moon over the stars. The scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets. They do not leave behind gold or silver coins, but rather they leave behind knowledge. Whoever has taken hold of it has been given an abundant share."
