The pursuit of Wisdom

Seeking Knowledge & Believing in the Signs of Allah

Life is very temporary; like waves that gently reach a shore or any coastline, before they quietly pull away and return to the vast ocean. The universe, designed in an extraordinary and marvellous way, reflects the greatness of Allah’s creation. 

When you study the stars – thousands of them, too many to count – and see them hanging in the sky; when you observe the world around you, even the fine veins in leaves, all these details point to the wisdom of Allah. Yet, despite all this beauty, this world is only a passage; a temporary stage before eternal life.

 

The Holy Qur’an speaks of belief in the unseen: “Those who believe in the unseen, who establish prayer and give from what We have provided for them.” (Al-Baqara 2: 4)

 

This belief is not blind faith; it is a truth confirmed by revelation and reflection. As human beings, we are always in a state of learning. This process never stops. As long as we are alive, we continue to learn. Day by day, people make new and fascinating discoveries in science and nature. What we understood yesterday, we understand even better today. Still, knowledge – no matter how vast – remains incomplete. Theories try to explain reality, but they can never replace absolute truth. Only Allah holds all knowledge, and He will reveal it when the time is right; there is a fixed moment for that.

 

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: “Whoever sets out in search of knowledge is on the path of Allah until he returns.” (Tirmidhi)

'Follow the Prophetic Model'

 

The Duahs of the Holy Prophet ^(sa) & The Promise of Allah- Part 6

'The Messenger believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, and so do the believers. They believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, and His messengers. (They proclaim) “We make no distinction between any of His messengers.” And they say, “We hear and obey. (We seek) Your forgiveness, our Lord! And to You (alone) is the final return.” (Al-Baqara 2: 286)

 

Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah, I am continuing with the sixth part of my Friday sermon, explaining the verse I have just read to you, which has a close connection with the promise Allah made to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and the Muslims. It serves as a guide on how we can achieve this promise.
