الْعِلْمُ النَّافِعُ

(Useful knowledge)

(有益な知識)

 

قَالَ الإِمَامُ الْغَزَالِىُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ:

"الْعِلْمُ النَّافِعُ يُثْمِرُ خَشْيَةََ اللهِ تَعَالَى وَمَهَابَتَهَ

قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: (إِنَّمَا يَخْشَى اللهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْعُلَمَاءُ)

وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ مَنْ لَمْ يَعْرِفْْهُ حَقَّ مَعْرِفَتِهِ، لَمْ يَهَبْهُ حَقَّ مَهَابَتِهِ،

وَلَمْ يُعَظِّمَهُ حَقَّ تَعْظِيمِهِ وَحُرْمَتِهِ،                              

فَصَارَ الْعِلْمُ يُثْمِرُ الطَّاعَةََ كُلَّهَا،

وَيَحْجِزُ عَنِ الْمَعْصِيَّةِ كُلِّهَا بِتَوْفِيقِ اللهِ تَعَالَى."

"Useful knowledge is that which makes you grow in the fear of Allah,

increases you in awareness of your defects,  

deepens your knowledge of the worship of your Lord Most High,

decreases your desire for this world and increases your desire for the life to come,  and opens your eyes to the defects of your actions so that you guard against them."

 -Imam Ghazali-
